Book excerpt: In 3̲2̲4̲ ̲L̲i̲q̲u̲o̲r̲ ̲C̲o̲r̲p̲.̲ ̲v̲.̲ ̲D̲u̲f̲f̲y̲, the Supreme Court of the United States held that the State of New York's statutory scheme for maintenance and control of retail liquor prices was in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act. The Court also held that New York's pricing system would not be saved under the "state-action exemption" from the antitrust laws (due to the fact that the state did not actively supervise the pricing system) or the Twenty-first Amendment to the United States Constitution (because the asserted state interests were not substantiated and did not suffice to afford such immunity). In Kansas, distributors are to file current bottle and case prices with the Director of the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control. The Alcoholic Beverage Control Board is required to establish a minimum markup to be added on to the bottle price on file at the time of retail sale. The Board does not regulate the prices posted by distributors and has not adjusted the markup percentage for distilled spirits for approximately ten years. The pricing system for alcoholic liquor sales in Kansas is so closely aligned with that of New York that it too is in violation of antitrust laws. As a practical matter, prices are set by private industry and the State does not "actively" supervise the pricing system. Additionally, the United States Supreme Court held that unsubstantiated claims that the system promotes temperance and protects small liquor retailers are not sufficient to afford immunity under the Twenty-first Amendment.

Book excerpt: Title VIII of the Competitive Equality Banking Act of 1987 applies to certain federal banks, certain state banks which are members of the federal reserve system, and certain state non-member banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, allowing those banks to amortize qualified agricultural loans over a seven-year period and to reappraise property acquired by the bank incidental to such agricultural loans. Regarding those state banks covered by the act, only the relationship between the bank and the appropriate federal agency is affected. The state statute defining insolvency, and the authority of the state bank commission to take over an insolvent bank, are not altered by the federal act. Title VIII was not intended to make an otherwise insolvent bank solvent. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1987 Supp. 9-1303; K.S.A. 9-1902, 9-1903; Pub.

Book excerpt: A non-profit hospital operating a telephone answering service exclusively for hospital purposes is exempt from payment of sales tax on the telephone services it purchases for such operation. K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 79-3606(b), as amended. A telephone answering service is not itself taxable under the Kansas retailers' sales tax act, but the rental of beepers or other such equipment by the hospital to physicians is taxable. K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 79-3603(h), as amended. A non-profit hospital which meets the requirements of 26 U.S.C. section 501 and 26 C.F.R. section 1.501 is exempt from federal income taxation pursuant to 26 U.S.C. section 501(a), and thus from state income taxation pursuant to K.S.A. 79-32,113, except to the extent it receives "unrelated business income." The receipt of a service free of charge from an employer as partial compensation for services rendered would fall within the scope of the broadly interpreted term "gross income," and therefore would be taxable income to the employee unless specifically exempted.

Book excerpt: Since it is the client's intent which governs the distinction between privileged and non-privileged communications, a determination of whether or not information exchanged between attorney and client is privileged requires a case-by-case consideration. To ensure compliance with the dictates of Canon 4 of the Code of Professional Responsibility and K.S.A. 60-426, when a supervising agency requests that an attorney release particular client information for enumerative or evaluative purposes, the attorney may either obtain the client's consent to do so, or, if the client refuses, compile the requested data in a less intrusive manner. If, however, the agency requests the data for purposes of determining a client's financial eligibility onto satisfy funding requirements, the exception to the privilege under DR-4-101(C)(4) would apply, making the aforementioned precautions unnecessary. Cited herein: K.S.A. 45-217; 45-221; 60-426; K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 20-3100, Supreme Court Rule No. 225, D.R. 4-101.

Book excerpt: Service of process is a condition precedent to an employee's request for the provision of defense counsel by a governmental entity, unless such condition is waived. If, after the employee has been served, the entity lawfully refuses to provide for such defense, and if the request was made in accordance with the statute, then the entity must reimburse the employee for attorney expenses incurred as a result of the retention of private counsel.

Book excerpt: Current statutes concerning the powers and duties of county officials do not authorize boards of county commissioners to enter into interlocal agreements which unilaterally require county attorneys or their staff to prosecute in municipal court for violations of a municipal DUI ordinance. If a city has enacted a DUI ordinance, violations of that ordinance which fall within the city's jurisdiction may be prosecuted in municipal court. Such prosecutions may be undertaken by an attorney authorized by the city to appear in municipal court on behalf of the city. Likewise, defense costs for indigent defendants may be paid to attorneys properly hired by the city for such purposes. Compensation paid by the city to such prosecutors or other attorneys may be contractually shared with or paid to a third party (such as a county) if that party provides contractual consideration for such payments and if the city is expending funds which may be utilized for such purposes. Attorneys involved in representation of two or more public entities must resolve potential statutory or ethical conflict of interest issues.

Book excerpt: K.S.A. 20-105 provides that to be qualified to hold the office of justice of the supreme court or judge of the court of appeals, a person must have been regularly admitted to practice law in Kansas and have engaged in the active and continuous practice of law for a period of at least ten years prior to the date of appointment as justice or judge. Though the strict definition of "active practice" would require that the legal activities of the person in question be pursued on a full-time basis and constitute his regular business, the general rule that statutory provisions imposing qualifications for office should be construed in favor of those seeking to hold office would serve to soften this requirement. Thus, a potential nominee need not be a full-time trial attorney to be considered as actively engaged in the practice of law, and is not automatically disqualified merely for holding a position which does not require legal expertise. Cited herein: K.S.A. 20-105; 20-3002; K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 22-3707.
