Book excerpt: A fundamental right of every creditor is that of set-off. Thus, where the State of Kansas and another party are mutually-indebted for liquidated amounts, the state as a creditor may exercise such right of set-off. The exercise of such right does not compromise the integrity of the appropriation process. The director of accounts and reports is both impliedly and explicitly empowered by statute to exercise the right of set-off in the state's behalf. However, because requisite "state action" exists, such right must be exercised in consonance with the dictates of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Affirming Attorney General Opinion No. 75-408, but modifying Attorney General Opinion No. 78-297. Cited herein: K.S.A. 75-3731; L. 1980, ch. 260, section 1; Kan.

Book excerpt: Pursuant to L. 1980, ch. 72, section 3, "personal liability" is imposed upon boards of public utilities and their employees in certain circumstances. Such imposition of "personal liability" does not violate constitutional requirements of equal protection and due process, and is not invalid or unenforceable on the ground of vagueness. Employees of a board of public utilities and board members are not entitled to be indemnified or defended against the personal liability imposed by L. 1980, ch. 72, section 3.

Book excerpt: Through the imposition of fines for unlawful conduct, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 8-1901(d) imposes criminal liability. In addition, subsection (a) of that statute does not appear to violate the United States Constitution's Equal Protection Clause, although it only imposes liability upon a limited class of persons. Moreover, that subsection appears to convey a sufficiently definite warning as to the conduct proscribed therein, so as to avoid being unconstitutionally vague and uncertain.

However, even though such officer is responsible for taking appropriate measures to protect the property of an arrested person, the question of whether the officer's failure to impound such vehicle constitutes a breach of duty, creating an exposure to tort liability, must be resolved by a competent trier of fact in light of all relevant facts and circumstances.

Book excerpt: Under the provisions of K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 22-4504 (as amended by L. 1981, ch. 157, sec. 1), the board of supervisors of panels to aid indigent defendants is empowered to adopt rules and regulations concerning the ability of a defendant in a criminal action to retain counsel to assist in his defense. Such rules and regulations specifically relate to the income, assets and anticipated costs of representation of a defendant. Pursuant to the 1981 amendment, such rules and regulations are controlling on any determination by a judge or magistrate as to whether a defendant is financially unable to employ counsel. Moreover, these rules and regulations are adopted in accordance with K.S.A. 77-415 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., thus allowing the legislature to modify or reject them through the adoption of a concurrent resolution (K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 77-426). Insofar as the making of indigency determinations involves the resolution of questions of fact, which is a judicial and not a legislative function, control by the legislature over such determinations is an impermissible interference with the authority of another department of government. Accordingly, those provisions of L. 1981, ch. 157 which require the submission of such rules and regulations to the legislature and which make any rules and regulations so adopted binding on district courts are unconstitutional as violative of the separation of powers doctrine. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 22-4501, 22-4504 (as amended by L. 1981, ch. 157, section 1), 22-4507, K.S.A. 22-4512, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 22-4514, 77-415 (as amended by L. 1981, ch. 157, section 3), Kansas Constitution, Article 3, Section 1, United States Bill of Rights, Sixth Amendment, Fourteenth Amendment.
