Book excerpt: Based on I̲n̲ ̲r̲e̲ ̲A̲p̲p̲l̲i̲c̲a̲t̲i̲o̲n̲ ̲o̲f̲ ̲N̲o̲e̲l̲ ̲f̲o̲r̲ ̲D̲i̲s̲c̲h̲a̲r̲g̲e̲ ̲H̲e̲a̲r̲i̲n̲g̲, 17 Kan. App. 2d 303 (1992), it is our opinion that K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 22-3428(3), as amended, and K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 22-3428a(3), which are used to determine the need for continued commitment of insanity acquittees, violate the due process and equal protection clauses of the 14th amendment by not placing the burden of proof upon the state to show by clear and convincing evidence both the committed person's continued insanity and dangerousness. However, rather than striking the statutes down, the Court of Appeals engrafted the essential requirements onto the statutes.

Book excerpt: The legislature has effectively placed a moratorium during that period running from the first Wednesday following the first Tuesday in December of even-numbered years to the Tuesday immediately preceding the first Wednesday in April of odd-numbered years on elections regarding a change in the method of election or voting plan for members of a board of education. Because Tuesday, April 6, 1993, falls within that period of time subject to the moratorium, no election regarding a change in the method of election or voting plan for members of a board of education may be conducted on April 6, 1992. The provisions of K.S.A. 72-8004 are mandatory. If, in order to meet federal requirements, proposed member districts cannot be drawn so as to comply with the conditions set forth in K.S.A. 72-8004, a change in the method of election or voting plan may not be made.

Book excerpt: Pursuant to K.S.A. 8-237 the chief law enforcement officer of a local unit of government can only recommend to the division of vehicles if an applicant should be issued a driver's license. The final decision rests with the division of vehicles. Cities and counties are not able to use their home rule powers to deny licenses to persons under the age of 16 years if the statute is uniformly applicable and does not grant such authority. Allowing the raising of the driving age to 16 years, in some counties but not others, will not violate an individual's constitutional right to equal protection. Cited herein: K.S.A. 8-237, Kan. Const., Art. 12, section 5.

Book excerpt: Pursuant to K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 74-4960, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 321, section 14, and 74-4960a, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 321, section 15, the Kansas public employees retirement system (KPERS) is obligated to make payment of the 10% benefit due a minor child of a disabled member of the Kansas police and firemen's retirement system (KP & F) only to a legally appointed conservator. It is necessary, therefore, that a conservator be appointed for each minor child of the member's family. Unless the divorce decree provides otherwise, a member of KP & F who is making child support payments pursuant to a divorce decree is entitled to credit toward those payments the amount of the 10% benefit paid by KPERS to the conservator of the minor child. If the 10% benefit exceeds the amount owed pursuant to the divorce decree, the excess will be considered a gratuity under the divorce decree. If the court determines that payment of the 10% benefit to a conservator somehow results in a material change in circumstances, the court may modify the order fixing child support.

Book excerpt: An attempt by a board of education and a professional employees' organization to ratify amendments to the contracts of employment of professional employees without submitting the amendments to a vote of the professional employees pursuant to K.S.A. 72-5421 would conflict with the purposes of professional negotiation recognized by the legislature. Any provisions of an agreement conferring such authority upon a board of education and a professional employees' organization would be void and unenforceable.

Book excerpt: Simply stated, the public purpose doctrine permits the spending of public funds only for public purposes. A benefit to specific individuals does not necessarily deprive the expenditure of its public character if the benefit is incidental to the primary purpose of promoting the public welfare. In our opinion, the cost-share program that provides public monies to assist landowners in plugging their abandoned wells serves the public welfare. The program was implemented in response to the federal water pollution control act (commonly referred to as the clean water act) to expeditiously restore and maintain the biological integrity of the nation's waters.
