Book excerpt: K.S.A. 16a-3-308 of the Consumer Credit Code gives a consumer certain protections against the use of a balloon payment, i.̲e̲.̲, a scheduled payment that is more than twice as large as the average of earlier scheduled payments. The consumer has the right to refinance the balloon payment at the time it is due without penalty and at terms that are no less favorable to him or her than those of the original transaction. In that this section is clearly designed for the protection of consumers, a consumer is not obligated to affirmatively exercise this right, and a seller, lender or lessor may not, merely by the failure of a consumer to request the same terms, proceed to extend more onerous terms than those in the original agreement. Such conduct would result in an impermissible waiver by the consumer of rights given by the Code (K.S.A. 16a-1-107) and additionally could be found unconscionable (K.S.A. 16a-5-108). Cited herein: K.S.A. 16a-1-101, 16a-1-102, 16a-1-107, 16a-3-308, 16a-5-108, 16a-6-111.

Book excerpt: As amended by L. 1982, ch. 144, section 5, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567 provides that a person convicted of a violation of the offense of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol may be required to perform public or community service work as an alternative to incarceration or payment of a fine.

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: Pursuant to K.S.A. 80-1404, no city of the second class shall be included within the corporate limits of any township. Said statutory provision, which serves as a limitation on township boundaries, may not be made inapplicable to any township or city through the exercise of city home rule powers. Although statutory provisions prescribe procedures for the sale of real or personal property used in the operation of a township water system, any such property may not be disposed of absent adequate consideration.

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: 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: 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 provided by K.S.A. 16-6a02, the Kansas investment certificate guaranty corporation is governed by a board of directors. Subsection (c) of the statute requires the corporate by-laws to provide that the "initial" board of directors contain four classes of members. These classes, of equal number, represent large, medium and small companies, as well as the general public. In the absence of any statutory provision allowing these classes to be abolished, thus depriving one or more of them of board representation, the provisions of the statute apply to both the initial and subsequent boards of directors.

Book excerpt: The conclusion reached in Attorney General Opinion No. 81-27 is expanded to provide that therapeutic psychological and speech and hearing services may be provided, constitutionally, at a location physically unified with a sectarian institution, so long as the location is religiously neutral. Any such location, at a minimum, must be free of religious symbols, contain material and equipment separate from that used in the remaining portion of the sectarian institution, and be under the control of public employees who are not subject to the supervision of the sectarian school's administrators.

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: Section 10 of L. 1982, ch. 144 establishes a state alcohol and drug safety action program, which is funded through an $85 assessment against any person who is convicted of, pleads n̲o̲l̲o̲ c̲o̲n̲t̲e̲n̲d̲e̲r̲e̲ to, or participates in, a diversion program stemming from a violation of K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567 (as amended by L. 1982, ch. 144, 55). As subsection (n) of the statute (contained in Section 5) provides that a city ordinance on this subject must contain minimum penalties equal to those of the statute, the fee must be assessed against the above three groups of persons in municipal court, as well as in district court, proceedings. While K.S.A. 12-4112 prohibits the assessment of costs in municipal court cases, this general prohibition has been repealed by implication insofar as the specific assessment imposed by the 1982 act is concerned. Attorney General Opinion No. 78-237 is affirmed. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567 (as amended by L. 1982, ch. 144, section 5), K.S.A. 12-4112, L. 1978, ch. 323.

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.
