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.

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.

Book excerpt: The statutory requirements for the execution of deeds and other instruments for the conveyance of a corporation's real property or an interest therein are prescribed by K.S.A. 17-6003(g). As long as there is compliance with such requirements, provisions in the corporation's bylaws requiring execution of such instruments by officers of the corporation in addition to those specified in said statute are permissible. However, failure to comply with these bylaw requirements does not, as a general rule, affect the validity of a conveyance made in compliance with the statutory requirements.

Book excerpt: Unlike Kansas cities and counties which exercise constitutional or statutory "home rule" powers, school districts are creatures of statute and, as such, enjoy only those powers expressly conferred, by law, together with those implied powers which are necessary for the effective exercise and discharge of the powers and duties expressly conferred. No statutory authority exists, either expressly conferred or necessarily implied, authorizing the expenditure of school districts funds to contribute to a lobbying effort on a proposed state-wide severance tax.

Book excerpt: L. 1981, Ch. 156 section 2(g) does not require that an inmate convicted of a class A, B or C felony by reason of aiding, Abetting, advising or counseling another to commit a crime, or by reason of the principle provided for in subsection (2) of K.S.A. 21-3205, serve one-half of the minimum term of imprisonment imposed by the court. Rather, the law requires that the inmate serve one-half of the term of imprisonment which would be required had not the aiding, abetting, etc. come into play. Thus, on a class A felony conviction, parole eligibility would occur after seven and one-half years of confinement and on a class B or C felony conviction, parole eligibility would occur after service of one-half of the minimum sentence imposed less good time credits available.
