Book excerpt: As a result of the decision in G̲a̲r̲c̲i̲a̲ ̲v̲̲.̲ ̲S̲a̲n̲ ̲A̲n̲̲t̲o̲n̲i̲o̲ ̲M̲e̲t̲r̲o̲p̲o̲l̲i̲t̲a̲n̲ ̲T̲r̲a̲n̲s̲i̲t̲ ̲A̲u̲t̲h̲o̲r̲i̲t̲y̲, the Dickinson County sheriff's department is subject to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Department employees who meet the qualifications of 29 C.F.R. section 553.4 are entitled to the exemption from overtime in 29 U.S.C.A. section 207(k) if the employer so elects. As the department has more than four employees who are law enforcement officers, it is therefore not eligible for the exemption in 29 U.S.C.A. section 213(b)(20). Law enforcement employees who are subject to section 7(k) may work a maximum of 171 hours in a 28 day pay period. Following April 15, 1985, overtime is required to be paid to such employees for any hours over this amount.

Book excerpt: The decision of the United States Supreme Court in R̲o̲e̲ ̲v̲.̲ ̲W̲a̲d̲e̲, 410 U.S. 113, 93 S. Ct. 705, 35 L. Ed. 2d 147 (1973), permits a state to regulate or even prohibit abortion after the stage of viability, except where it is necessary, in appropriate medical judgment, to preserve the life or health of the mother. Such regulations must be narrowly tailored to fit the precise state interest at stake. As a result, attempts to specify a particular time during a pregnancy when viability occurs or to interfere with the judgment of the attending physician have been struck down as unconstitutional, although general prohibitions on post-viability abortions have been upheld.

Book excerpt: K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567(c), as amended by section 5 of Senate Bill No. 699, establishes penalties for persons convicted of their first violation of the statute. Prior to the 1982 amendment, the subsection authorized a court to punish first time violators by imposing a specified jail sentence or a specified fine, "or by both such fine and imprisonment." In the amended statute, the word "and" replaces the word "or" between the term of imprisonment and the amount of the fine, although the phrase "or by both such fine and imprisonment" is retained. In that the intent of the legislature in altering the disjunctive "or" to the conjunctive "and" was to require both forms of punishment, the additional phrase allowing such is now mere verbiage, and adds nothing to the statute. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567, as amended by L. 1982, ch. 144, section 5.

Book excerpt: In a city of the second class with the commission manager form of government which is governed by K.S.A. 14-1305, a person appointed to fill a vacancy in the office of commissioner holds office only until the "next city election," at which time someone shall be elected to fill the unexpired term if any portion of the term remains. Under Kansas case law, "next city election" is the next ensuing election at which city officers are elected. This conclusion is not altered even though a vacancy occurs after the filing deadline for a candidates seeking city office. The unexpired term should appear on the ballot of the next ensuing city election regardless of the fact no one was able to file as a candidate for the office according to the regular procedures governing the conduct of city elections.

Book excerpt: K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 25-2108a(b) prescribes the conditions under which a city utilizing non-partisan elections must hold a primary election. The statute on its face is uniformly applicable to all cities, and is contained in an act (L. 1982, ch. 157) which is also uniform. K.S.A. 25-2113, which is contained in a different act, sets forth a general rule for non-partisan city elections, but also contains a provision for partisan city elections in Johnson County. The inclusion of this provision renders K.S.A. 25-2113 non-uniform, and thereby subject to a charter ordinance under a city's home rule authority. However, in the absence of such an ordinance which would allow partisan elections, the general provisions of K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 25-2108a concerning primary elections continue to apply. To the extent it is inconsistent with this opinion, Attorney General Opinion No. 78-49 is superseded. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 25-2108a, K.S.A. 25-2113, Kan. Const. Art. 12, section 5.

Book excerpt: As previously noted in Attorney General Opinion No. 85-110, a concurrent resolution containing a constitutional amendment adopted by the legislature during the 1985 session may be amended during the 1986 session prior to being submitted to the voters in November, 1986. At present, Chapter 360 of the Laws of 1985 provides for the submission to the voters of an amendment to Article 15, Section 10, which would allow liquor by the drink under certain circumstances. The amendment must be approved by a majority of the voters of the entire state in order to be adopted and a majority of the voters in a particular county before becoming effective in that county. Such a "dual purpose" is clearly disclosed in the explanatory statement which is to be printed on the ballot with the proposed amendment. Further, since the Kansas Constitution limits, rather than confers, power, the people of the state may amend the constitution in any manner they deem appropriate, subject only to the limits of the United States Constitution. Cited herein: K.S.A. 41-301; L. 1985, Chs. 360, 364; Kan. Const., Art. 14, section 1; Art. 15, section 10; Kan. Bill of Rights, sections 2, 20.
