Accordingly, a person may not make commercial use of information derived from such lists, either directly or through the sale of the lists themselves.

Book excerpt: The Kansas Legislature has provided that there will be separate ballots for each political party participating in a primary election. When no person has sought the nomination of a political party to a particular office at a primary election, the law provides that the ballot shall list the office to be elected, followed by a blank space, so that party members may write in the name of any person they choose to nominate as their party candidate. K.S.A. 25-213, which prescribes the form of a primary election ballot, does not prohibit a person from appearing on the ballot as a candidate for nomination of one political party and at the same time receiving write-in votes sufficient to nominate the person for the same office on the ballot of another political party. K.S.A. 25-213 also does not prohibit a person from appearing on the primary election ballot of one political party as a candidate for nomination to one office and also receiving sufficient write-in votes to win the nomination to another office on the ballot of a different political party. K.S.A. 25-306, which prevents a person from accepting more than one nomination to the same office, applies only to nominations accomplished by convention, caucus, or independent petition and cannot be construed to apply to nominations accomplished by primary election. K.S.A. 25-613, which prescribes the form of general election ballots, does not prevent a single name from appearing twice on the same ballot, for the same or different offices. K.S.A. 25-123 addresses the problem of the simultaneous election of a single person to incompatible offices and clearly indicates a legislative intent to permit simultaneous candidacies for more than one office. Cited herein: K.S.A. 25-123; 25-206; 25-210; 25-213; 25-302; 25-303; 25-304; 25-306; 25-306b; 25-613; 25-3110; 25-3211; 25-3301; K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 25-205; 25-305.

Book excerpt: The provisions of subsections (c) and (d) of K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 77-426, which allow the legislature to reject, modify or revoke an administrative rule and regulation by means of the adoption of a concurrent resolution, are unconstitutional. Such action by the legislature is an unlawful usurpation of the governor's constitutional power to administer and enforce the laws. Such action violates the constitutional doctrine of separation of powers. In addition, the legislative oversight mechanism prescribed in subsections (c) and (d) of K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 77-426 is unconstitutional for the reason that it attempts to authorize the legislature to make law, without following the mandatory procedures of the Kansas Constitution. The Kansas constitution requires that any law be enacted only by bill [not by resolution or concurrent resolution]; that every bill contain the constitutionally-specified enacting clause; and that all bills passed by the legislature be presented to the governor for approval or disapproval. The procedure set forth in subsections (c) and (d) of K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 77-426 does not meet these constitutional requirements and is unconstitutional. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 77-426; Kan. Const., Art. 2, sections 14, 20.

Book excerpt: Section 5 of chapter 282 of the 1984 Session Laws of Kansas prohibits a person from receiving any list of names and addresses derived from public records for the purpose of selling or offering for sale any property or service to the persons listed. However, lists of names derived from public records may be used for purposes other than that prohibited by the statute.

Book excerpt: The legislature may refuse to appropriate moneys to provide funds for a̲ ̲p̲a̲r̲t̲i̲c̲u̲l̲a̲r̲ lease of office space already entered into by a state agency and may direct that no appropriated moneys shall be used for such purpose. However, the legislature may not prescribe that an agency may not enter into a̲n̲y̲ lease for office space without the prior approval of the State Finance Council or some other legislatively-dominated committee. Such a limitation on prospective action by a state agency violates the doctrine of separation of powers and is unconstitutional. Attorney General Opinion No. 81-83 is reaffirmed.

Book excerpt: In making recommendations as to the zoning of an individual parcel of land, a planning commission acts in a quasi-judicial, rather than a legislative, function. As such, its deliberations may be held in closed session, as a specific exception to the Kansas Open Meetings Law, K.S.A. 75-4317 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲. For purposes of the Open Meetings Law, "binding action" would occur when the commission votes to approve or deny a particular request, and would have to be done in an open meeting. Further, In that K.S.A. 12-708 requires the commission to adopt its recommendations by affirmative vote at the conclusion of the hearing, it is not possible to have a binding vote before such recommendations, in the form of specific findings, are prepared.

Book excerpt: In S̲t̲a̲t̲e̲ ̲v̲.̲ ̲R̲o̲s̲e̲, 234 Kan. 1044 (1984), the Kansas Supreme Court ruled that K.S.A. 8-1749a (amended by L. 1984, ch. 39, section 20, effective January 1, 1985), is n̲o̲t̲ unconstitutionally vague and indefinite under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The court said the term "substantially" means less than totally or the whole, but more than imaginary. The term defines a standard between the extremes of total and complete impairment and slight impairment. Since the conclusion reached in Attorney General Opinion No. 84-92 is contrary to the decision of the court in S̲t̲a̲t̲e̲ ̲v̲.̲ ̲R̲o̲s̲e̲, s̲u̲p̲r̲a̲, the opinion is withdrawn. Cited herein: K.S.A. 8-1749a, (amended by L. 1984, ch. 39, section 20, effective January 1, 1985); U.S. Const., 14th Amendment.
