Book excerpt: Pursuant to the State Water Plan Storage Act, K.S.A. 82a-1301 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., the Kansas Water Resources Board and its successor, the Kansas Water Office, are empowered to enter into contracts for the withdrawal and use of waters held in storage by the state. Waters so withdrawn and used by a purchaser are subject to a charge fixed by the respective state agency not less than 5 cents nor more than 10 cents per one thousand gallons of water. Such contracts, which may have a term of up to 40 years, must contain a provision by which such charges are reviewed at least every ten years, although the parties to the contract can agree to a more frequent review. Although the Water Office may establish on an annual basis the rate used for all contracts entered into during that year (K.S.A. 82a-1308), such rate may not be altered thereafter, except as provided by the contract. Accordingly, the provisions of 1983 Senate Bill No. 61 which provide for annual adjustments of the water charge may not be applied to contracts entered into and approved by the legislature prior to the effective date of the bill. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 74-2615, K.S.A. 82a-1305, 82a-1306, 82a-1308, 82a-1316, 1983 Senate Bill No. 61.

In assigning the work to be performed, a judge or court services division would be exercising judicial and discretionary functions, respectively, and would be exempt from liability under the Tort Claims Act, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 75-6101 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲.

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: During the 1982 session of the Legislature, both Senate Bill Nos. 559 and 595 were enacted into law. As each of the two measures contains a section amending K.S.A. 16a-2-401, they should, if possible, be considered together in order to give effect to both. In that they alter different subsections of the statute, the two measures are not in conflict. Even though the changes made by S.B. No. 595 are not reflected in S.B. No. 559, K.S.A. 16a-2-401 may be read to include the changes made by both acts. Cited herein: K.S.A. 16a-2-201, 16a-2-401, 1982 Senate Bill No. 559, 1982 Senate Bill No. 595.

Book excerpt: K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 75-4218 provides that all state bank accounts shall be secured by a pledge of securities owned by each bank receiving a deposit. The term "securities" is defined by K.S.A. 75-4201(p)(1) to include direct obligations of, or obligations that are insured by, the United States government or one of its agencies. By virtue of 12 U.S.C. 52001 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., federal land banks, land bank associations, production credit associations, intermediate credit banks and banks for cooperatives are "federally chartered instrumentalities". This term has been interpreted by courts in Kansas and elsewhere as not raising them to the level of federal agencies. Accordingly, under K.S.A. 75-4201 as it now reads, obligations of these federally chartered instrumentalities may not be pledged to secure the deposit of state funds in Kansas banks. However, due to a 1983 amendment to K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 19-1402, such obligations may be used as security for the deposit of m̲u̲n̲i̲c̲i̲p̲a̲l̲ funds. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 9-1402; K.S.A. 75-4201; K.S.A. 1985 Supp 75-4218; L. 1983, ch. 47, section 3; 12 U.S.C. sections 2011, 2012, 2031, 2033, 2071, 2072, 2091, 2093, 2121, 2122, 2155, 2157.

Book excerpt: K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567(c), as amended by section 5 of Senate Bill No. 699, establishes penalties for persons convicted of their first violation of the statute. Prior to the 1982 amendment, the subsection authorized a court to punish first time violators by imposing a specified jail sentence or a specified fine, "or by both such fine and imprisonment." In the amended statute, the word "and" replaces the word "or" between the term of imprisonment and the amount of the fine, although the phrase "or by both such fine and imprisonment" is retained. In that the intent of the legislature in altering the disjunctive "or" to the conjunctive "and" was to require both forms of punishment, the additional phrase allowing such is now mere verbiage, and adds nothing to the statute. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567, as amended by L. 1982, ch. 144, section 5.

Book excerpt: The sole issue to be resolved at an administrative herring held under the "implied consent" law (K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1001) is the reasonableness of a person's refusal to submit to a request to take a blood-alcohol test. At the hearing, the only testimony needed from the arresting officer is the sworn report required in the statute, and if the sworn report addresses the necessary issues, there is no need for the officer to attend the hearing. However, if the sworn report fails to discuss whether the licensee was capable of making a voluntary response to the request to submit to a blood-alcohol test, and it appears that this issue will be raised in the administrative hearing, the testimony of the arresting officer is essential and the attendance of the arresting officer may be compelled by subpoena [K.S.A. 8-255(b)]. Cited herein: K.S.A. 8-255, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1001 and K.S.A. 54-101.

Book excerpt: As amended by L. 1982, ch. 144, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567 contains new provisions for the sentencing of persons who are convicted of operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. Additionally, the act amends K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1001 to admit into evidence the defendant's refusal to take a chemical test for the presence of alcohol. While the act does not specifically provide that these changes will apply only to offenses committed after its effective date of July 1, 1982, such a result is necessary in view of the substantive, as opposed to merely procedural, nature of these two amendments. Accordingly, the above-referenced amendments are applicable only to offenses committed after the effective date of the act. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1001, 8-1567, both as amended by L. 1982, ch. 144, K.S.A. 21-3102, 22-4618.

Book excerpt: As amended by 1982 Senate Bill No. 699, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567 provides [at subsection (n)] that a city may enact an ordinance which prohibits or makes unlawful the same acts as are dealt with by the statute, provided that the ordinance's minimum penalties are the same as the statutes for any given violation, and the ordinance's maximum penalty does not exceed that of the statute. Apart from these limits, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567 as amended does not preempt a city from taking action in this area. As amended by 1982 Senate Bill No. 699, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567(c), (d) and (e) prohibit a prosecuting attorney from entering into any plea-bargaining agreement by which a defendant enters a guilty or no contest plea to a lesser offense than that originally charged. While no sanctions against such conduct exist under the statute, provisions of the general ouster law could be applied against prosecuting attorneys who violate the prohibition against plea-bargaining. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567, as amended by 1982 Senate Bill No. 699, K.S.A. 22-2907, 22-2908.
