Book excerpt: K.S.A. 12-4415(b), as amended by L. 1985, ch. 48, section 1, sets forth factors which a city prosecutor must consider in determining whether a person is eligible for diversion for the offense of driving while under the influence of alcohol. One of the factors which precludes the offering of diversion is the occurrence of an accident involving personal injury at the time of the offense. Given the lack of any legislative language to the contrary, such personal injury may be to either the defendant or another passenger, driver or third-party. In that the legislature intended to restrict a prosecutor's discretion in the offering of diversion to DUI offenders, even minor injuries not involving hospitalization are sufficient to preclude the use of diversion, which itself is a privilege and not a right.

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 a result of the decision in G̲a̲r̲c̲i̲a̲ ̲v̲̲.̲ ̲S̲a̲n̲ ̲A̲n̲̲t̲o̲n̲i̲o̲ ̲M̲e̲t̲r̲o̲p̲o̲l̲i̲t̲a̲n̲ ̲T̲r̲a̲n̲s̲i̲t̲ ̲A̲u̲t̲h̲o̲r̲i̲t̲y̲, the Dickinson County sheriff's department is subject to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Department employees who meet the qualifications of 29 C.F.R. section 553.4 are entitled to the exemption from overtime in 29 U.S.C.A. section 207(k) if the employer so elects. As the department has more than four employees who are law enforcement officers, it is therefore not eligible for the exemption in 29 U.S.C.A. section 213(b)(20). Law enforcement employees who are subject to section 7(k) may work a maximum of 171 hours in a 28 day pay period. Following April 15, 1985, overtime is required to be paid to such employees for any hours over this amount.

Book excerpt: K.S.A. 65-516(a)(3) provides that no person may be licensed to operate a child day care home or child boarding home if said person has a resident, employee or regular volunteer who has been validated as a child abuser by the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services (SRS) pursuant to K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 38-1523. In our opinion, validating an individual as a child abuser without affording that individual sufficient notice and an opportunity to be heard violates the individual's constitutional right to due process. Since the statute does not provide for notice and hearing and there are not rules and regulations to supplement it, K.S.A. 65-516(a)(3) as applied does not meet the constitutional requirement of due process. To insure that due process requirements are met, those procedures must be codified by statute or agency rules and regulations.

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: In a city of the second class with the commission manager form of government which is governed by K.S.A. 14-1305, a person appointed to fill a vacancy in the office of commissioner holds office only until the "next city election," at which time someone shall be elected to fill the unexpired term if any portion of the term remains. Under Kansas case law, "next city election" is the next ensuing election at which city officers are elected. This conclusion is not altered even though a vacancy occurs after the filing deadline for a candidates seeking city office. The unexpired term should appear on the ballot of the next ensuing city election regardless of the fact no one was able to file as a candidate for the office according to the regular procedures governing the conduct of city elections.

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.
