Book excerpt: A bank may, for purposes of securing deposits of public funds, pledge revenue bonds issued by a quasi-municipal corporation, provided that approval is given by the state bank commissioner. An exception is made in the case of bonds secured by revenues of a utility which has been in operation less than three years, with the use of such bonds not permitted for pledging purposes. K.S.A. 9-1402(e)(1). Pursuant to a rule and regulation of the bank commissioner (K.A.R. 17-14-1), the term "utility" is defined using the definition found at K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 10-1201, which includes publicly-owned facilities of a revenue-producing character which supply water. In that a rural water district organized pursuant to K.S.A. 82a-612 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., is a quasi-municipal corporation which operates publicly-owned water supply facilities and may issue revenue bonds therefor, K.S.A. 9-1402(e) is applicable to those districts whose systems have not been in operation for three years. Cited herein: K.S.A. 9-1402, 10-101, K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 10-1201, K.S.A. 82a-616, K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 82a-619, 82a-625, K.A.R. 17-14-1.

Book excerpt: Pursuant to K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-128(a), an all-terrain vehicle [as defined by K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 8-126(bb)], may be operated on the public streets of a city of the second class. If operated on such public streets between the hours of 1/2 hour after sunset and 1/2 hour before sunrise, an all-terrain vehicle must be equipped with lights of the type required by law for motorcycles. Additionally, unless it is used for agricultural purposes, such a vehicle must be registered pursuant to K.S.A. 8-127(a). Exclusive use on private property removes the need for lights and for registration. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 8-126; K.S.A. 8-127; K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 8-128.

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: 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.

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: 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: 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.
