Book excerpt: Pursuant to the provisions of K.S.A. 8-2001, local authorities (including cities) may adopt additional traffic regulations prohibiting "U-turns" where such regulations do not conflict with the provisions of the Uniform Act Regulating Traffic on Highways. Under the Uniform Act, no such ordinance regulating or prohibiting the turning of vehicles shall be effective until official traffic control devices giving notice of such local traffic regulation are erected upon or at the entrances to the highway or part thereof affected. K.S.A. 8-2002(a)(9) and (c). Accordingly, an ordinance which prescribes additional circumstances under which U-turns are prohibited (i̲.̲e̲.̲ the ordinance sets forth limitations in addition to those prescribed by K.S.A. 8-1546) is not effective until official traffic control devices giving notice of such prohibition are erected. Thus, subsections (1), (3) and (4) of section 35-323 of the Kansas City Municipal Code, which impose additional prohibitions on U-turns in the absence of official traffic control devices giving notice of such prohibitions, conflicts with subsection (c) of K.S.A. 8-2002, and is invalid pursuant to K.S.A. 8-2001. Cited herein: 8-1546; 8-2001; 8-2002.

Book excerpt: The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution gives people the right to be free from "unreasonable searches and seizures." Mandatory drug testing of county employees, without regard to job performance, would violate the Fourth Amendment prohibition against "unreasonable searches and seizures." However, the testing of such an employee is permissible if based upon "reasonable suspicion." Therefore, there is no constitutional bar to the testing of a county employee where circumstances give the employer a reasonable, objective basis to suspect illicit drug use by that employee. Mandatory drug testing of applicants, without regard to job requirements, would violate the Fourth Amendment. However, testing of an applicant is permissible if it is in furtherance of a bona fide effort to learn whether an applicant is physically capable of performing the duties of a particular job. Accordingly, mandatory drug testing of all applicants for public safety positions is permissible. Cited herein: K.S.A. 19-101; K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 19-101a; U.S. Const., Fourth Amend.; Ks. Const., Bill of Rights, section 15.

Book excerpt: Gross operating revenue," as that term is used in 1989 House Bill No. 2502, includes revenue received from transactions other than title insurance. For purposes of determining whether 20% of gross operating revenue received in the previous six months is derived from controlled business, revenue received from transactions involving land sales in counties populated by 10,000 or less is not included. Since the prohibitions contained in the act do not substantially impair obligations under existing title insurance contracts, the act does not violate the contracts clause of the United States Constitution. The distinction between counties having a population of 10,000 or less and those having a population of more than 10,000 does not create an impermissible classification. Finally, the rule-making authority granted by the act does not conflict with the statute granting rulemaking authority in areas not affected by the act. Cited herein: K.S.A. 40-1111, as amended by L. 1988, ch. 156, section 19; K.S.A. 40-2404 (Ensley 1986); K.S.A. 1988 Supp. 40-2404, as amended by 1989 House Bill No. 2502; K.S.A. 40-2404a; K.A.R. 40-3-43 (Proposed, not yet published); U.S. Const.

Book excerpt: The Mail Ballot Election Act, K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 25-431 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., provides for the conduct of "question submitted" elections in various governmental subdivisions by mail ballot. The mail ballot procedure may not be used in an election at which any candidate is elected, retained or recalled. The county home rule statutes, K.S.A. 19-101b(c)(3), establish procedures for the conduct of an election on a charter resolution passed by the county governing board and provide that such elections shall be conducted "in the same manner as are elections for officers of such county." The phrase "in the same manner ..." as elections for county officers is ambiguous in this context and does not prevent, in the opinion of this office, the use of the mail ballot election act when a charter resolution is submitted to county voters. Cited herein: K.S.A. 19-101b(c)(3), 25-101; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 25-409, 25-431, 25-433, 25-434, 25-437, 25-438, 25-439; K.S.A. 25-1434, 25-1452, 25-3001 to 25-3008.
