Book excerpt: The authority and responsibility for county expenditures is vested in the board of county commissioners as a general rule. An exception to the general rule exists when the expenditure or obligation is necessary for a county official to carry out his or her statutorily imposed duties. K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 19-805(b) authorizes a sheriff, in his or her discretion, to require staff attendance at meetings and seminars which the sheriff determines will be beneficial to the operation of the office, within the limits of the sheriff's budget as approved by the county commissioners. In view of the discretionary nature of the activity, the expenditures authorized by the statute are subject to the general rule. A reconciliation of the interests of the commissioners and the sheriff may be accomplished if the former exercise their general authority by specifically approving a sum in the latter's annual budget to be expended for attendance at such meetings. The sheriff may then exercise his authority under the statute within the limits of the approved budget without seeking prior approval from the commissioners. Cited herein: K.S.A. 19-212; 19-229; 1983 Supp. 19-805; 74-5607a.

Book excerpt: 1986 Senate Bill No. 696, which would enact the Family Farm Rehabilitation Act, does not constitute a "taking" of property which must be compensated under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. A lender's security interest is preserved under the bill, and a farmer seeking to invoke the bill's protection from foreclosure must annually pay an amount which is equivalent to that which the lender would receive if the land were sold at its present fair market value and the proceeds invested at current rates. Given decisions of the United States Supreme Court which permit such action by a state in the exercise of its police powers during a time of distress in the agricultural economy, in our opinion 1986 Senate Bill No. 696 is constitutional. Cited herein: 1986 Senate Bill No. 696; 1986 House Bill No. 2691; U.S. Const., Fourteenth Amend.

Book excerpt: An applicant for appointment by the secretary of state as a notary public must include in the application an oath of office, and the failure to take the oath of office may constitute grounds for revocation of a notary's appointment pursuant to K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 53-118. However, whether an oath has been legally administered is a question of fact. Prior to revoking the appointment of a notary public, the secretary of state must give reasonable notice thereof and provide an opportunity for the notary to respond to the charges being relied upon as grounds for revocation at a hearing held for such purpose. Further, revocation of a notary's appointment pursuant to K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 53-118 operates prospectively, and the secretary of state has no authority to revoke a notary's appointment a̲b̲ i̲n̲i̲t̲i̲o̲. Even though there may have been a defect in a person's appointment as a notary public, or such person failed to conform to some condition precedent to assuming the office of notary public, such person is nonetheless a d̲e̲ f̲a̲c̲t̲o̲ officer where such person was issued a certificate of appointment as a notary, such person held himself or herself out to the public as being a duly appointed notary and, in availing themselves of the notary's services, the public, without inquiry, clearly has presumed such person to be a validly appointed officer. As a consequence, the acts of such person as a d̲e̲ f̲a̲c̲t̲o̲ officer are as valid and effectual, where they concern the public or the rights of third parties, as though such person was an officer d̲e̲ j̲u̲r̲e̲, and such acts are not subject to collateral attack. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 53-101, 53-102, 53-104, 53-105, 53-105a, 53-116, 53-117, 53-118, K.S.A. 54-102, 54-104, 54-106.

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: 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.
