Book excerpt: Under K.S.A. 72-8205 (as amended by L.1981, ch. 293, section 1), a school board member may waive the right to written notice of a special meeting of the board of education. However, no business can be discussed at a special meeting of a board of education, other than that particular business for which the special meeting was called. If action is taken on other business, such action can be invalidated through appropriate judicial proceedings. However, the board, in essence, can validate its prior action by taking the same action at a regular meeting, or at a special meeting called for the purpose of discussing that item of business which was improperly acted upon at the prior special meeting. Finally, while the provisions of K.S.A. 72-8205 (as amended) do not prohibit one special meeting from being concluded, and another special meeting called and held immediately thereafter, any such meeting must comply with the requirements of the Kansas Open Meetings Act, K.S.A. 75-4317, e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲. Under that act, notice of a special meeting must be given to any person who has requested notice of school board meetings. See Attorney General Opinion No. 81-15. Cited herein: K.S.A. 72-8205 as amended by L.1981, ch. 293, section 1, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 75-4318.

Book excerpt: 1980 House Bill No. 3178 (L. 1980, ch. 64) is an enactment of the legislature which does not uniformly apply to all cities. Thus, since K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 10-1208 and 12-866 were sections of that enactment, a city, pursuant to its constitutional home rule powers, may exempt itself by charter ordinance from the whole or any part of these statutes applicable to such city.

Book excerpt: The Reports of the decisions of the Kansas Supreme Court and Court of Appeals may be copyrighted as compilations. However, any such copyright cannot cover the opinions of the judges and justices or other material prepared by them in the discharge of their judicial duties. The copyright protection afforded the Reports is limited to the Appellate Reporter's own work and labor in the production of the Reports. The publication of advance sheets without copyright notice under copyright laws existing prior to January 1, 1978, resulted in forfeiture of the copyright on the material contained therein, which cannot be revived by subsequent publication in copyrighted volumes of the Reports. However, the publication of advance sheets without copyright notice after that date under current copyright laws does not constitute a forfeiture, and the works are protected from infringement as long as they are properly registered within five years after first publication. Neither one of these circumstances affects the validity of the copyright of the Reports as a compilation of preexisting material, but the copyright can only cover new and original material contributed by the reporter. The use made of the Reports by West Publishing Company and K-Bar Research, Inc., pursuant to licensing agreements, has not resulted in forfeiture of the copyright protection afforded the Reports. Cited herein: K.S.A. 20-206, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 20-211, 17 U.S.C.A. sections 1, 3, 10, 19, 102, 103, 106, 405, P.L. 94-553, U.S. Const., Art. I, section 8.

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: 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: 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: To be consistent with requirements of the United States Constitution, the provisions of K.S.A. 72-5393 can, and must, be construed as neither requiring nor authorizing the provision of therapeutic psychological and speech and hearing services, at public expense and by public employees, on parochial school premises. Instead, said provisions must be construed as requiring that such services be provided at the "truly religiously neutral locations" specified in the statute, i.̲e̲.̲, in the public schools of the school district, in public centers, or in mobile units located off the parochial school premises.

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: Where several governmental entities have constructed a building for their joint use under an interlocal agreement, and each such entity has authority to establish its own building fund to provide for the replacement of the roof on such building, the agreement may be amended to establish a joint building fund for such purpose. However, where each party to the agreement has discretionary investment powers regarding moneys in its own fund which differ from those of the other parties, the creation of a joint fund and the investment of moneys therein may constitute an improper delegation of each party's separate authority. Such problem may be avoided if each party establishes its own building fund and the interlocal agreement amended to require that moneys in these respective funds be turned over to the administrative entity created by the agreement when needed. Cited herein: K.S.A. 12-1675, 12-1736, 12-1737 (as amended by L. 1981, ch. 173, section 23), 12-2901, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 12-2904, K.S.A. 19-15,114, 19-15,115, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 19-15,116, K.S.A. 72-8801 (as amended by L. 1981, ch. 286, section 2), 72-8804 (as amended by L. 1981, ch. 286, section 23), 79-2934.

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.
