Book excerpt: A unified school district may permit pupils of the school district to utilize the district's transportation services in order to arrive at a religious facility in which the pupils will attend catechism classes if such transportation occurs along the regular transportation routes designated by the unified school district, as required by state statute, and the same service is available for pupils seeking transportation to other religious or nonreligious facilities.

Book excerpt: The Kansas Supreme Court has the inherent power to prescribe conditions for admission to the bar and to regulate and control the practice of law. While there are statutes that relate to the practice of law, such statutes are effective only when in accord with the inherent power of the judiciary. Both K.S.A. 44-536(a) and rule 1.5(d) of the Kansas model rules of professional conduct adopted by Supreme Court rule 226 deal with how attorney fees in contingent fee cases are calculated. Because both the court's rule and the statute are intended to achieve the same goal, the legislation does not have a deleterious impact on the court's function. For this reason, K.S.A. 44-536(a) does not amount to a usurpation of power in contravention of the separation of powers doctrine and therefore is a statutory enactment which the court would sanction as in accord with the court's inherent power to regulate and control the practice of law. Cited Herein: K.S.A. 7-103; 7-104; 7-106; 7-108; 7-109; 7-111; K.S.A. 1995 Supp. 7-121b; K.S.A. 44-510c; 44-521; 44-531; 44-536.

Book excerpt: K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 75-4218 provides that all state bank accounts shall be secured by a pledge of securities owned by each bank receiving a deposit. The term "securities" is defined by K.S.A. 75-4201(p)(1) to include direct obligations of, or obligations that are insured by, the United States government or one of its agencies. By virtue of 12 U.S.C. 52001 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., federal land banks, land bank associations, production credit associations, intermediate credit banks and banks for cooperatives are "federally chartered instrumentalities". This term has been interpreted by courts in Kansas and elsewhere as not raising them to the level of federal agencies. Accordingly, under K.S.A. 75-4201 as it now reads, obligations of these federally chartered instrumentalities may not be pledged to secure the deposit of state funds in Kansas banks. However, due to a 1983 amendment to K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 19-1402, such obligations may be used as security for the deposit of m̲u̲n̲i̲c̲i̲p̲a̲l̲ funds.

Book excerpt: K.S.A. 75-4318 requires that actual notice of regular and special meetings subject to the Kansas open meetings act (KOMA) be individually provided to those persons requesting such notice. If there is no intent to subvert the KOMA, a meeting subject to that act may be adjourned, recessed or continued to another date, time or place. In our opinion, the notice requirements and intent of the KOMA are violated by giving notice that a meeting will begin on one day and then subsequently continuing that meeting to another day without making a good faith attempt to provide notice of the new date, time and place to those requesting notice.

Book excerpt: As a matter of law, a person who is not a "public employee" as defined by K.S.A. 75-4322(a) does not qualify as a representative of public employees for purposes of the act establishing the requirements for appointment to the public employee relations board. However, whether an individual appointed to the board is excluded from the definition of "public employee" as defined by K.S.A. 75-4322(a) is an issue of fact. An individual presently employed as director of human resources or personnel manager for a state agency is not necessarily excluded from the definition of "public employee" as a matter of law for purposes of the public employer-employee relations act. The appointee's status as a supervisory employee, a confidential employee, or a management official depends upon the particular duties and functions associated with the job rather than the position title or classification, and the issue is properly resolved on a case-by-case examination of the relevant facts and circumstances. The factual determination whether an appointee meets the statutory requirements for a particular position properly rests with the senate when the appointment is subject to senate confirmation.
