Book excerpt: 1984 Senate Bill No. 858 reduces the sentences which may lawfully be imposed upon persons convicted of Class D or E felonies which are not included in articles 34, 35 or 36 of chapter 21 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated. An attempt to commit a felony contained in these three articles is defined as a distinct criminal act by article 33 of the same chapter. Thus, the exclusion of these three articles from the provisions of the bill does not extend to attempts to commit such crimes. Under the terms of this bill, the sentencing court must review the sentence of a person convicted of a non-excluded D or E felony and, at the discretion of the court, reduce the minimum term of imprisonment to the new limits in K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 21-4501, as amended. Such a review and possible reduction is also required for persons who were sentenced for the included felonies within the time frame established by the bill, but who were placed on probation and who remain subject to possible imprisonment should the conditions of their probation be violated. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 21-3301, 21-4501, 21-4602, 21-4610, K.S.A. 21-4618, 22-3716, 1984 Senate Bill No. 858.

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: Kansas is a member state in the Interstate Compact on Mental Health by the terms of K.S.A. 65-3101, which incorporate the compact into Kansas statutes. Part of the compact concerns the escape of dangerous or potentially dangerous patients from institutions in any state party to the compact. Upon the capture and identification of such patients, they are to be detained until they can be returned to the state in which they were committed. In this specific circumstance, the provisions of K.S.A. 59-2901 et seq., relating to orders for protective custody and commitment, do not apply, and the patient may be held without such proceedings prior to return to the state from which he escaped.

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.

Information concerning such convictions, made confidential by the 1983 law, must be deleted by the official custodian from otherwise disclosable agency or court records. 1983 Senate Bill No. 310 operates prospectively only and does not close records of convictions prior to July 1, 1983. Nor does the bill require any change in traditional rights of public access to court proceedings, or close records relating to the payment of fines for such offenses or the issuance of citations, summons or warrants.

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.

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.
