Book excerpt: The Kansas Open Meetings Act is uniformly applicable to all cities and may not be circumvented by a charter ordinance. However, the quorum requirements of K.S.A. 13-1810 are provisions of an enactment of the legislature which is not uniformly applicable and may be changed by charter ordinance. Such charter ordinance will be subject to the "protest" style election authorized by Article 12, Section 5(c)(3) of the Kansas Constitution. "Majority," as the term is used in K.S.A. 13-1810, means the number one greater than half the number of members of the governing body and may not be changed by ordinary city ordinance.

Book excerpt: For purposes of civil proceedings under the Code for Care of Children, the legislature defined types of behavior which would constitute sexual abuse by reference to sex offenses in the criminal code, however, it did not thereby intend to adopt a criminal definition of sexual abuse. Thus, while certain acts described as sex offenses in the criminal statutes may not be punishable crimes if committed with a child age 16 years or older; those same acts may constitute abuse of that child under the definition of that term in the Code for Care of Children.

Book excerpt: Pursuant to K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 79-3425, there is a daily transfer to the highway fund of 69.23% of certain revenues accruing to the state freeway fund. The legislature clearly intends that proceeds of the various motor fuel taxes credited to said fund be subject to such transfer, but it is difficult to discern from the pertinent statutory provisions whether the legislature intends that a similar transfer be made of moneys representing interest on the highway fund that are credited to the state freeway fund pursuant to K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 68-2313. However, because the state officers charged with the administration and implementation of the relevant statutory provisions have consistently construed such provisions as precluding the daily transfer of highway fund interest moneys from the freeway fund to the highway fund, such interpretation is not only entitled to great weight, but is controlling, in light of the legislature's continued acquiescence in such interpretation. Cited herein: K.S.A. 68-2301, K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 68-2304, K.S.A. 68-2306, K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 68-2313, 79-3401, 79-3425, K.S.A. 79-3474, K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 79-3487, K.S.A. 79-3490, K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 79-34,104, L. 1979, ch. 323, section 3.

Book excerpt: Pursuant to K.S.A. 75-4201 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., the Pooled Money Investment Board may designate state or national banks located in Kansas to receive active and inactive accounts of state moneys. As provided in K.S.A. 75-4218, all state bank accounts shall be secured by pledge of securities, which are held by the state treasurer, an approved Kansas bank or the federal reserve bank in Kansas City, Missouri. The term "securities" is defined at K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 75-4201(p) to include (at paragraph (1)] obligations that are insured as to principal and interest by the federal government or any agency thereof. While the federal Guaranteed Student Loan Program involves the participation of a guarantee agency which insures the repayment of one hundred percent of the principal and interest due on such loans which are not repaid, such an agency is not an agency of the federal government. Therefore, notes representing loans under the federal Guaranteed Student Loan Program cannot be pledged as securities to secure the deposit of state moneys.

Book excerpt: Section 4(d) of 1983 House Bill No. 2327 (L. 1983, ch. 171), the new Kansas Open Records Act, provides that each request for access shall be acted upon as soon as possible, but not later than three business days following receipt of the request. Only if the request cannot be met within this time must the custodian of the records provide an explanation of the cause for further delay. In addition, the phrases "provide access to" and "permit inspection of" are used interchangeably throughout the bill, and may accordingly be treated as synonymous for purposes of interpretation. Both phrases concern the right of the public to examine public records, and so are different than the right to make copies. Cited herein: L. 1983, Ch. 171.

Book excerpt: If one or more cooperative agreements are entered into by those parties specified in 29 U.S.C.A. section 1533(a)(1), then sums available for those purposes specified in section 1533 are to be provided by the Governor to the state education agency responsible for education and training. In Kansas, this agency is the State Board of Education. Thus, if one or more cooperative agreements are made, the federal moneys provided the state under 29 U.S.C.A. section 1533 must be made available to the State Board of Education. Those moneys may not be made available directly to service delivery areas. The State Board, of course, must use the moneys received for the purposes, and subject to the requirements, prescribed in section 1533. Cited herein: 20 U.S.C.A. section 2461; 29 U.S.C.A. sections 1503, 1531, 1533.

Book excerpt: The Kansas Water Office, as the successor to the authority of the Kansas Water Resources Board, may enter into agreements with the federal government by which water may be held in storage by the state in projects constructed by agencies of the federal government. As provided by K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 82a-934, such agreements are binding upon the state to the extent that future appropriations are made in support thereof. While no applicable sections of the Kansas Constitution limit the period of time an appropriation may extend, K.S.A. 46-155 imposes a limit of at most four years for capitol improvement appropriations. As no exception has been made for water storage agreements, the Kansas Water Office is without authority to make agreements which do not contain the limiting language provided by K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 82a-934. However, as this statute does authorize the Water Office to reimburse the federal government for damages resulting from the use of, or a release from, water storage, it may agree to language which states this in a contract. Cited herein: K.S.A. 40-3405, 46-155, K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 75-4704b, 82a-934, Kan. Const., Art. 2, section 24, Art. 11, sections 6,7,9, 42 U.S.C.A. section 1962d-5b.

Book excerpt: A newspaper may refuse to accept for publication any advertisement which is presented to it without a violation of the First or Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, except in those situations where a clear restraint of trade results or some other protected right is infringed. A newspaper may accordingly refuse to publish any individual advertisement or class of advertisements for businesses such as massage parlors.
