Book excerpt: A city ordinance which purports to authorize "independent contractors" to exercise the sovereign power of the city is contrary to statewide public policy, and is void. However, individuals who act as city attorney and municipal judge, under such an ordinance, are d̲e̲ f̲a̲c̲t̲o̲ officers of the city, and their acts are valid insofar as they involve the public and third parties. Additionally, the legal and judicial services provided by said individuals constitute "employment," as said term is defined in the Old Age and Survivors Insurance Act, and social security contributions are payable by the city with respect to remuneration paid for such services.

Book excerpt: K.S.A. 8-237 permits the holder of a restricted drivers license between the age of 14 and 16 to operate a motor vehicle on days while school is in session over the most direct and accessible route between the licensee's residence and school of enrollment for the purpose of school attendance. The term "school attendance" has a narrower meaning than "school activities;" therefore, the holder of a restricted license is not permitted by this statute to operate a motor vehicle for transportation to mere school activities.

Book excerpt: For purposes of civil proceedings under the Code for Care of Children, the legislature defined types of behavior which would constitute sexual abuse by reference to sex offenses in the criminal code, however, it did not thereby intend to adopt a criminal definition of sexual abuse. Thus, while certain acts described as sex offenses in the criminal statutes may not be punishable crimes if committed with a child age 16 years or older; those same acts may constitute abuse of that child under the definition of that term in the Code for Care of Children. Cited herein: K.S.A. 21-3501, 21-3503, 21-3504 as amended by L. 1983, ch. 109; 21-3509, 21-3510, 21-3511, 21-3516, K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 38-1502 as amended by L. 1983, ch. 140, 42 U.S.C. sections 5102, 5104, 45 C.F.R. section 1340.2, 1340.14, 48 Fed.

Book excerpt: Pursuant to K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 79-3425, there is a daily transfer to the highway fund of 69.23% of certain revenues accruing to the state freeway fund. The legislature clearly intends that proceeds of the various motor fuel taxes credited to said fund be subject to such transfer, but it is difficult to discern from the pertinent statutory provisions whether the legislature intends that a similar transfer be made of moneys representing interest on the highway fund that are credited to the state freeway fund pursuant to K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 68-2313. However, because the state officers charged with the administration and implementation of the relevant statutory provisions have consistently construed such provisions as precluding the daily transfer of highway fund interest moneys from the freeway fund to the highway fund, such interpretation is not only entitled to great weight, but is controlling, in light of the legislature's continued acquiescence in such interpretation.

Book excerpt: The legislature may not enact a law which impairs the state's obligation to make the required principal and interest payments on the issued and outstanding highway bonds providing funds for the construction, reconstruction and improvement of highway projects within the state system of modern express highways and freeways. Said bonds are payable solely from the state freeway fund, and the required principal and interest payments constitute a first lien and claim on moneys accruing to said fund. Thus, even though the legislature may lawfully transfer moneys from the freeway fund to the highway fund, any law providing for such a transfer that impairs the state's contractual obligation to make the required principal and interest payments is invalid.

Book excerpt: Pursuant to K.S.A. 8-1008, as amended by 1983 Substitute for House Bill No. 2132, community-based alcohol and drug safety action programs are authorized to perform a variety of services relating to persons who have been arrested for the offense of driving while under the influence of alcohol. Included in such services are evaluations of persons being considered for diversion or who have been convicted but not yet sentenced. Certification of the programs which are authorized to so act in each judicial district is determined by the administrative judge of the district or, in the event such judge declines to do so, by the Secretary of the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services. Such certification is for the limited purpose of providing the services specified by K.S.A. 8-1008, as amended, and does not act as a substitute for licensure under K.S.A. 65-4001 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲. and 65-4601 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲. In that diagnostic services are included within the definition of treatment contained in the latter acts, a community-based alcohol and drug safety action program must be licensed under such acts before it may offer such services under K.S.A. 8-1008, as amended. Cited herein: K.S.A. 8-1008, 8-1567, both as amended by 1983 Substitute for House Bill No. 2132, K.S.A. 65-4001, 65-4003, 65-4601, K.A.R. 1982 Supp. 30-31-2, L. 1982, ch. 144.

Book excerpt: The Kansas Water Office, as the successor to the authority of the Kansas Water Resources Board, may enter into agreements with the federal government by which water may be held in storage by the state in projects constructed by agencies of the federal government. As provided by K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 82a-934, such agreements are binding upon the state to the extent that future appropriations are made in support thereof. While no applicable sections of the Kansas Constitution limit the period of time an appropriation may extend, K.S.A. 46-155 imposes a limit of at most four years for capitol improvement appropriations. As no exception has been made for water storage agreements, the Kansas Water Office is without authority to make agreements which do not contain the limiting language provided by K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 82a-934. However, as this statute does authorize the Water Office to reimburse the federal government for damages resulting from the use of, or a release from, water storage, it may agree to language which states this in a contract.
