Book excerpt: The decision of the United States Supreme Court in R̲o̲e̲ ̲v̲.̲ ̲W̲a̲d̲e̲, 410 U.S. 113, 93 S. Ct. 705, 35 L. Ed. 2d 147 (1973), permits a state to regulate or even prohibit abortion after the stage of viability, except where it is necessary, in appropriate medical judgment, to preserve the life or health of the mother. Such regulations must be narrowly tailored to fit the precise state interest at stake. As a result, attempts to specify a particular time during a pregnancy when viability occurs or to interfere with the judgment of the attending physician have been struck down as unconstitutional, although general prohibitions on post-viability abortions have been upheld.

Book excerpt: As previously noted in Attorney General Opinion No. 85-110, a concurrent resolution containing a constitutional amendment adopted by the legislature during the 1985 session may be amended during the 1986 session prior to being submitted to the voters in November, 1986. At present, Chapter 360 of the Laws of 1985 provides for the submission to the voters of an amendment to Article 15, Section 10, which would allow liquor by the drink under certain circumstances. The amendment must be approved by a majority of the voters of the entire state in order to be adopted and a majority of the voters in a particular county before becoming effective in that county. Such a "dual purpose" is clearly disclosed in the explanatory statement which is to be printed on the ballot with the proposed amendment. Further, since the Kansas Constitution limits, rather than confers, power, the people of the state may amend the constitution in any manner they deem appropriate, subject only to the limits of the United States Constitution. Cited herein: K.S.A. 41-301; L. 1985, Chs. 360, 364; Kan. Const., Art. 14, section 1; Art. 15, section 10; Kan. Bill of Rights, sections 2, 20.

Book excerpt: K.S.A. 72-5308a authorizes the teacher in charge of each public school classroom to observe, at his or her option, a brief period of silence at the opening of each school day. Such a period of silence is not to be conducted as a religious exercise, but is to be used for silent prayer or silent reflection on the activities of the day. In that both the statute itself and the legislative history of this and subsequent bills indicates a legislative purpose which is not exclusively religious, the statute is not invalid under the holding of the United States Supreme Court in W̲a̲l̲l̲a̲c̲e̲ ̲v̲.̲ ̲J̲a̲f̲f̲r̲e̲e̲, -- U.S. --, 105 S.

Book excerpt: K.S.A. 12-4109 requires each city to provide a suitable courtroom for the municipal court, and states that the court shall be held at such time and places designated by city ordinance. Nothing in the statute, or in the Code of Procedure for Municipal Courts of which it is a part, prohibits a city from designating a location outside the city limits as the site of the municipal court. However, if appearing at a designated site imposes a burden on defendants which is unreasonable, such action of a city may be found to be a violation of due process under the United States Constitution. Given the location of the City of Eastborough and the lack of any suitable courtroom facility within the city limits, the designation of a courtroom in the Sedgwick County Courthouse is not unreasonable.
