Book excerpt: "K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 19-805(b) authorizes a sheriff, in his or her discretion, to require staff attendance at meetings and seminars which the sheriff determines to be beneficial to the operation of the office, within the limits of the sheriff's budget as approved by the county commissioners. In view of the discretionary nature of the activity, the expenditures authorized under subsection (b) are subject to the general rule that the authority and responsibility for county expenditures is vested in the board of county commissioners. A policy of "shared discretion" could effectively reconcile the interests of the sheriff and the commissioners in regard to this statute, if the commissioners would approve a specific sum in the sheriff's budget each year to be expended for attendance at meetings and seminars. In this way, the sheriff could exercise his or her authority under the statute within the limits of the approved budget without seeking prior approval from the commissioners.

Book excerpt: K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 19-3602 permits the creation of a fire district pursuant to the motion of the board of county commissioners or as provided in K.S.A. 19-3603. K.S.A. 19-3603 requires that a petition be signed by residents who want a new fire district. Unless proceeding solely under K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 19-3602, this procedure is mandatory not permissive. It is not dependent upon nor extinguished by any previous petition requesting disorganization or alteration of an existing fire district under K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 19-3604. K.S.A. 19-3611 provides the means by which a fire protection benefit district or other special fire district may be included in or made a part of an existing fire district. It should not be used to disorganize or exclude property from an already existing fire district. The required signatures on a petition requesting creation of a fire district are those of the residents of the county cumulatively owning more than sixty percent of the area of the lands situated within the boundaries of the proposed district, and not total landowners in the affected area. Cited herein: K.S.A 1986 Supp. 19-3602; K.S.A. 19-3603; K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 19-3604; K.S.A. 19-3611.

Book excerpt: K.S.A. 75-4319(b)(2) authorizes public bodies subject to the Kansas Open Meetings Act (KOMA) to recess into an executive session for the purpose of "consultation with an attorney for the body or agency which would be deemed privileged in the attorney-client relationship ..." The term "consultation" as used in the KOMA necessarily implies the presence of an attorney. Even though a letter from an attorney to his client containing advice is a privileged communication, we must conclude that members of a public body cannot recess into an executive session to review and discuss among themselves a letter from their attorney. Therefore, it is our opinion that the "consultation with an attorney" exception to the open meetings law cannot be invoked unless the attorney for the body is present. Cited herein: K.S.A. 60-426; 75-4317; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 75-4318(a); K.S.A. 75-4319.

Book excerpt: A search warrant maybe issued by a district magistrate judge upon the sworn oral or written statement of a city attorney. Municipal law enforcement officers may execute such warrant, and property seized pursuant to the warrant may be admissible as evidence in a municipal court. However, K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-1001(f) precludes the use of a search warrant to obtain a blood sample from a person who has refused to submit to a blood, breath or urine test pursuant to that statute. An ordinance authorizing such procedure would be in conflict with the state statute prohibiting further testing after an informed refusal.

Book excerpt: Under its police power, a state may reimburse itself for the cost of regulating and supervising a business by assessing the necessary expenses to the business which created the necessity for such regulation and supervision. Use of conservation fee fund monies for the prevention and cleanup of pollution from oil and gas activities regulated by the state corporation commission is sufficiently related to the regulatory function to make its use for such purposes a valid exercise of the police power. The conservation fee fund may be used to fund the study and cleanup of oil and gas pollution pursuant to section 37 of 1986 House Bill No. 3078 (K.S.A. 55-143, as amended by 1986, ch. 201, section 37), to the extent that such study and cleanup are reasonably related to those activities of the oil and gas industry which are regulated by the commission. Use of the conservation fee fund by the state corporation commission for those oil and gas activities it does not regulate (as authorized by K.S.A. 55-143, as amended by L. 1986, ch. 201, section 37, which references subsection (a)(2)(A)-of K.S.A. 65-171d, as amended by L. 1986, ch. 201. section 22), is contrary to the findings of the Kansas Supreme Court in P̲a̲n̲h̲a̲n̲d̲l̲e̲ ̲E̲a̲s̲t̲e̲r̲n̲ ̲P̲i̲p̲e̲l̲i̲n̲e̲ ̲v̲.̲ ̲F̲a̲d̲e̲l̲e̲y̲. Such use exacts revenue from the oil and gas industry under the guise of a regulatory fee in violation of article 11, section 1 of the Kansas Constitution, and the commerce clause and the Fourteenth Amendment of the United State Constitution.

Const., Art. 11, section 1; U.S. Const., Fourteenth Amendment; K.S.A. 55-131; 55-143; 65-171d, as amended by L. 1986, ch. 33, section 10(f); L. 1986, ch. 201, sections 1, 2, 10, 17, 22, 28, 37, 39 and 40; and K.A.R. 28-41-1.

Book excerpt: The two (2) weeks limitation of K.S.A. 38-817(a) is not tantamount to the Sixth Amendment Constitutional guarantee of a right to a speedy trial afforded the accused in a criminal action. The two (2) weeks limitation is not jurisdictional in nature but is a procedural guideline for the courts to follow in juvenile matters. The state is not foreclosed from refiling a juvenile matter which has been dismissed due to the fact that a hearing had not been set within the two (2) weeks limitation of K.S.A. 38-817(a).

Book excerpt: Based on the nominee's personal data form as submitted to the Supreme Court Nominating Commission, said nominee does not meet the qualification in K.S.A. 20-105 of having engaged in the active and continuous practice of law for a period of ten years prior to the date of appointment as justice. The active practice of law has been defined by the Supreme Court of Kansas as meaning that the legal activities of the individual must have been pursued on a full-time basis and constituted his regular business. The nominee is not automatically disqualified because of having held the positions to which he has been appointed, but because his personal data form does not indicate that his legal activities while holding those positions were "pursued on a full-time basis and constituted his regular business." In making the ultimate determination of whether this nominee is qualified, the Supreme Court Nominating Commission may consider additional information regarding specific legal services performed by the nominee in his various employments and may thus reach a contrary conclusion. Cited herein: K.S.A. 20-105.

Book excerpt: K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 75-4318(b)(1) provides that if a request for notice of meetings subject to the Kansas Open Meetings Act (KOMA) is made by petition, notice is required to be given only to a designated person. We conclude that the request for notice submitted for our opinion constitutes a petition for purposes of the KOMA. Individual notice, therefore, is not required to be given to each person on the list. If individual requests for notice are made, however, notice must be given either in writing or by telephone to each person. We note that, if a public body has regularly scheduled meetings, the notice requirement is met by providing a single notice containing a list of such meetings. Additional notice must be given, however, of any changes or special meetings. Under the open meetings law a distinction is made between the requirements concerning notice and agenda. While notice must be f̲u̲r̲n̲i̲s̲h̲e̲d̲ to the person requesting it, K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 75-4318(b), an agenda must be m̲a̲d̲e̲ ̲a̲v̲a̲i̲l̲a̲b̲l̲e̲ to the requester if one is prepared, K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 75-4318(d). We affirm our previous opinion, No. 79-218, that a public body is not required to mail copies of an agenda if it can be obtained at a public place.

Book excerpt: It is our opinion that advanced registered nurse practitioners may not issue prescription orders pursuant to a physician's standing orders or protocol because they have not been granted such authority by the statutes and regulations under which they are licensed. Physicians' assistants, however, are expressly authorized to practice medicine under the direction and supervision of a physician. Since the practice of medicine includes the act of prescribing medicine, we conclude that physicians' assistants may issue prescription orders under the direction and supervision of a physician.
