Book excerpt: Computer-produced interpretations of psychological tests are not "psychological assessments." Pursuant to subsection (a) of K.S.A. 74-5344, qualified members of other professional groups (i.̲e̲.̲, professionals who are not certified psychologists) may utilize psychological tests and interpretations, provided that such work is consistent with their training and with any applicable professional code of ethics, and provided that said professionals do not hold themselves out to the public by any title or description of services incorporating the words "psychologic," "psychological," "psychologist," or "psychology." The fact that a certified psychologist signs a report actually produced by a computer does not, ip̲s̲o̲ f̲a̲c̲t̲o̲, violate K.A.R. 1982 Supp. 102-1-10(b)(7). However, where a review of the entire report, and the facts surrounding its preparation and presentation to the client, indicate that the certified psychologist "took credit" for the work product of a computer, it might properly be alleged (in a proceeding to suspend or revoke a certified psychologist's certification) that there has been a violation of said regulatory provision. Persons administering computerized psychological tests who report reactions, responses and behaviors of the test taker are uncertified assistants within the scope of K.A.R. 102-1-11. K.A.R. 1982 Supp. 102-1-11 is not applicable to computers or computer programs. However, licensed psychologists utilizing computerized psychological tests must comply with the acceptable standards of practice regarding psychological testing generally to comply with K.A.R. 1982 Supp. 102-1-10.

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.

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: Pursuant to the State Water Plan Storage Act, K.S.A. 82a-1301 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., the Kansas Water Resources Board and its successor, the Kansas Water Office, are empowered to enter into contracts for the withdrawal and use of waters held in storage by the state. Waters so withdrawn and used by a purchaser are subject to a charge fixed by the respective state agency not less than 5 cents nor more than 10 cents per one thousand gallons of water. Such contracts, which may have a term of up to 40 years, must contain a provision by which such charges are reviewed at least every ten years, although the parties to the contract can agree to a more frequent review. Although the Water Office may establish on an annual basis the rate used for all contracts entered into during that year (K.S.A. 82a-1308), such rate may not be altered thereafter, except as provided by the contract. Accordingly, the provisions of 1983 Senate Bill No. 61 which provide for annual adjustments of the water charge may not be applied to contracts entered into and approved by the legislature prior to the effective date of the bill. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 74-2615, K.S.A. 82a-1305, 82a-1306, 82a-1308, 82a-1316, 1983 Senate Bill No. 61.

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. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 59-2902, K.S.A. 59-2904, K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 59-2905, 59-2908, 59-2909, 59-2912, K.S.A. 59-2917, 65-3101.

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.

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.

Book excerpt: The existence of statutes which provide that persons who have attained a prescribed age can give informed consent to receive medical treatment under certain circumstances, or which expressly relieve a physician or other health care provider from civil liability for competently furnishing certain medical services to minors, does not preclude the possibility that a particular minor may be capable of giving informed consent to receive other medical services or contraceptives. However, absent a statute which prescribes that all persons of a prescribed age can give informed consent to receive contraceptives or medical treatment, or which expressly relieves a physician or other health care provider from liability for providing contraceptives or medical treatment to persons less than the statutorily-prescribed age of majority, it would be a question of fact for the trier of facts to determine whether informed consent could be given by a particular person and whether such consent indeed had been given. Cited herein: K.S.A. 38-101, 38-123b, 65-2891, 65-2892, 65-2892a.
