Book excerpt: The land surveyors' licensing statute, K.S.A. 1987 Supp. 74-2044, is constitutional as a valid exercise of the police powers of the state. The exemption from examination found in subsection (b) of this statute is within the discretion of the governing body and evidences an attempt to not unduly burden engineers currently practicing land surveying under their engineering license. In addition, unless mandated by statute, the Board of Technical Professions, as the administrative agency, is under no obligation to provide notice of statutory changes to those affected by the legislation. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1987 Supp. 74-7022, K.S.A. 74-7034 (Ensley 1985), Kan. Const., Art. 2, sections 18.

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.

Book excerpt: While the state may require abortions to be performed in licensed facilities from and after the first trimester, K.S.A. 21-3407 sweeps too broadly and the offending provisions cannot be severed from the rest without legislative amendment. We note that the United States Supreme Court is currently considering a case which may modify Roe v. Wade, and thus render this opinion invalid. Cited herein: K.S.A. 21-3407.

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. Absent service of process, timely request for, and proper refusal of providing legal defense counsel, no right is conferred on the employee to retain private counsel at the expense of the governmental entity. Cited herein: K.S.A. 75-6103, 75-6108, 75-6109.

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.
