Book excerpt: An instrument, by which several promissory notes and real estate mortgages securing thoses notes are assigned to a lending institution for the purpose of securing a loan, is not itself a mortgage of real property. It is a mortgage of intangible personal property. Thus, any such instrument should be filed together with other instruments that create liens on personal property. However, if the instrument is proved or acknowledged, and certified in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 58-2211 to K.S.A. 58-2219, inclusive, the instrument also may be recorded in the real estate records. Since such instruments are not mortgages of real property, said instruments may be filed without payment of the mortgage registration fee.

Book excerpt: K.S.A. 80-1201 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., impose a duty on the township trustees of each Kansas township with regard to the eradication of prairie dogs in those counties in which there is an infestation. The trustee of each township is empowered to purchase such materials as may be needed for this task, including poisons, with the cost thereof spread as an additional mill levy upon real property in the township. While K.S.A. 80-1202 provides for notice to be given to landowners concerning the problem and, upon their failure to act, for entry by the township trustee or his agents upon private land, such provisions apply only to those counties which meet the criteria contained in the statute. The same is true regarding the provisions of the same statute which deal with the assessment of landowners who do not comply with the notice of the township trustee. However, as it is within the home rule authority of a county to provide for the eradication of prairie dogs, Lane County may adopt by resolution those provisions of K.S.A. 80-1202 which are otherwise applicable only to townships in certain counties. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 19-101a(b), as amended by L. 1983, ch. 92, section 1, K.S.A. 80-1202, L. 1969, ch. 472, section 1.

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: 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: A bank may, for purposes of securing deposits of public funds, pledge revenue bonds issued by a quasi-municipal corporation, provided that approval is given by the state bank commissioner. An exception is made in the case of bonds secured by revenues of a utility which has been in operation less than three years, with the use of such bonds not permitted for pledging purposes. K.S.A. 9-1402(e)(1). Pursuant to a rule and regulation of the bank commissioner (K.A.R. 17-14-1), the term "utility" is defined using the definition found at K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 10-1201, which includes publicly-owned facilities of a revenue-producing character which supply water. In that a rural water district organized pursuant to K.S.A. 82a-612 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., is a quasi-municipal corporation which operates publicly-owned water supply facilities and may issue revenue bonds therefor, K.S.A. 9-1402(e) is applicable to those districts whose systems have not been in operation for three years. Cited herein: K.S.A. 9-1402, 10-101, K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 10-1201, K.S.A. 82a-616, K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 82a-619, 82a-625, K.A.R. 17-14-1.

Book excerpt: There is no basis for disregarding the plain and unambiguous language in K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 8-1901(c) that prescribes the schedules to be used in calculating fines for violations of the vehicular weight limitations contained in K.S.A. 8-1908 and K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 8-1909. An interpretation of these schedules according to the exact and literal import of the words used therein does not contravene the manifest purpose of the legislature, i.̲e̲.̲, to provide for the escalation of fines for such violations in relation to the amount by which said weight limitations are exceeded. Accordingly, there is no justification for interpreting these schedules in a way that requires a modification of the language thereof.

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.

Book excerpt: As amended by Laws of 1982, Chapter 144, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567(h) provides that a court shall, prior to sentencing a person who has been convicted of a violation of the statute or who has entered a plea of n̲o̲l̲o̲ c̲o̲n̲t̲e̲n̲d̲e̲r̲e̲, request and receive from the department of revenue, division of vehicles, a record of all prior convictions of that person for violations of any of the motor-vehicle laws of Kansas. Additionally, the sentencing provisions found in subsections (c), (d), (e) and (i) of the amended statute make reference to convictions of a violation of only the statute or an ordinance which prohibits the same acts. In view of this specific language, convictions under a statute of another state are excluded from consideration at time of sentencing. While the Legislature has included reference to the laws of other states in some Kansas statutes (s̲e̲e̲, e̲.̲g̲.̲ K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-285, as amended by L. 1982, ch. 144), it did not choose to do so in the statute governing driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs.

Book excerpt: The requirement of K.S.A. 79-501, that the appraisal of real property be based upon an actual view and inspection of the property, carries with it the implied authority for the appraiser to enter upon real property to perform these functions, without such action constituting a trespass. Due to such implied authority, the prior permission of the taxpayer to enter upon the real property, for the limited purposes of viewing and inspecting the same, is not required. If, however, the appraiser's entry upon real property is opposed by a taxpayer, the appraiser's paramount duty is to preserve the public peace. In such situations, the appraiser may proceed, through legal channels, to assure fulfillment of the legal duty to appraise the real property by an actual view and inspection thereof. Cited herein: K.S.A. 79-501.

Book excerpt: A register of deeds is required to file of record a written instrument whereby real estate may be affected. Such filing can properly be refused only if the instrument contains apparent errors, or is not proved or acknowledged, and certified in the manner prescribed by law, or the register of deeds has been directed by a court not to file the instrument. Of course, a register of deeds also may refuse to file instruments that clearly do not affect real estate, or where the law requires some act, such as payment of the mortgage registration fee, before the instrument may be received and filed of record.

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.
