Book excerpt: Section 7(a)(15) of a 1988 Senate Bill No. 727, amending K.S.A. 1987 Supp. 17-5904 by providing an additional exemption to the corporate farming act, is unconstitutional.

Book excerpt: In B̲e̲l̲l̲o̲t̲t̲i̲ ̲v̲.̲ ̲B̲a̲i̲r̲d̲, 443 U.S. 622, 995 S. Ct. 3035, 61 L. Ed. 2d 797 (1979) (plurality opinion) the United States Supreme Court held that the United States Constitution would permit a state to require a pregnant minor to obtain parental consent to an abortion if the state provided an alternative procedure whereby the minor could establish that she was mature enough to make the decision on her own or that it would be in her best interests to have the abortion. Since 1988 House Bill No. 2950 establishes such an alternative procedure, it is our opinion that its parental consent requirements would pass constitutional muster. Cited herein: 1988 House Bill No. 2950.

Book excerpt: The misnomer in L. 1988, ch. 47, section 19 is not a defect which renders the section void. The intent of the legislature is sufficiently clear to allow substitution of the correct language, so that reference to K.S.A. 40-277(7)(c), which does not exist, becomes K.S.A. 40-277(4)(a). Pursuant to section 19, blood-alcohol tests refusals or failures are not open records. Insurers may not consider such refusals or failures in determining automobile liability rates or in determining whether to cancel a policy. However, if a driving privilege is suspended by the department of revenue, the suspension is part of an open record, which may be obtained by insurers to process an application, or renewal, or cancellation of, a motor vehicle liability insurance policy.

Book excerpt: 1988 House Bill No. 2704, places restraints on the "property rights" of individuals in order to promote and protect the well established public welfare interest of insuring that human remains are treated properly. In our opinion it clearly represents a valid exercise of the state's inherent police power. Therefore, any private individual claiming ownership of human skeletal remains would not be entitled to compensation simply because the state regulation requires relinquishment of the remains. However, if a claimant convinced the court that 1988 House Bill No. 2704 operated as an eminent domain taking of an identifiable property interest, rather than a valid exercise of police power, the court could require compensation for any legally held property interest taken by the regulation. Valuation of such a property interest would require consideration of factors set forth in K.S.A. 26-513(d) and evidence of (1) the fair market value and condition of the portion of property at the time of the taking, and (2) the loss of that value to the legal owner.
