Book excerpt: Obscene bumper stickers or t-shirts are governed by K.S.A. 21-4301c only if they are displayed by a person having custody, control or supervision of any commercial enterprise and only if they meet the definitional requirements of that statute. A bill prohibiting public display of p̲r̲o̲f̲a̲n̲e̲ bumper stickers and t-shirts entirely would encounter some constitutional problems. A bill limiting o̲b̲s̲c̲e̲n̲e̲ bumper stickers and t-shirts is more likely to fall into the parameters of speech that can be regulated under the Constitution, although courts may see fit to place additional requirements on restricted speech. Cited herein: K.S.A. 21-4301c.

Book excerpt: 1988 Substitute for House Bill No. 2219 does not violate Art. 2, section 16 of the Kansas Constitution which prohibits a bill from containing more than one subject. The Kansas courts have ruled that a statute should not be declared invalid under this provision unless invalidity is manifest. It is not clearly manifest that H.B. 2219 contains more than one subject, as both bills that were combined in the final version of H.B. 2219 concern animal welfare. None of the circumstances for which Art. 2, section 16 was designed to prevent are present in this case. Further, the title of H.B. 2219 clearly expresses the subject matter and gives fair notice of the content of the bill as constitutionally required.

Book excerpt: In B̲e̲l̲l̲o̲t̲t̲i̲ ̲v̲.̲ ̲B̲a̲i̲r̲d̲, 443 U.S. 622, 995 S. Ct. 3035, 61 L. Ed. 2d 797 (1979) (plurality opinion) the United States Supreme Court held that the United States Constitution would permit a state to require a pregnant minor to obtain parental consent to an abortion if the state provided an alternative procedure whereby the minor could establish that she was mature enough to make the decision on her own or that it would be in her best interests to have the abortion. Since 1988 House Bill No. 2950 establishes such an alternative procedure, it is our opinion that its parental consent requirements would pass constitutional muster. Cited herein: 1988 House Bill No. 2950.

Book excerpt: 42 U.S.C. 290aa, Part C, Sec. 523b(1) prohibits the use of federally provided amounts as a non-federal match contribution. Once a recipient provider has properly received Medicaid reimbursement funds and is free to expend them in any legally permissible manner, those funds become the freely alienable property of that recipient. Thus, such a recipient and not the federal government provides the funds which may thereafter be used to match a grant pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 290aa, Part C, Sec. 523(a).

Book excerpt: Courts presume the constitutionality of a statute and resolve all doubts in favor of its validity. This presumption, when combined with the lack of prohibitory language in K.S.A. 25-3802, leads us to conclude that, while state law does not require an officer of a county central committee to be a member of a precinct committee, a political party may require such membership.

Book excerpt: Pursuant to K.S.A. 75-4319(b)(4), a public body may recess into executive session to discuss confidential financial data or trade secrets. The open meetings act is to be interpreted broadly to give effect to the legislative intent that meetings of public bodies be accessible to the public; exceptions to the act must be construed narrowly. Thus, public bodies must take care to recess into executive session on the basis of K.S.A. 75-4319(b)(4) only when the topic of conversation clearly involves c̲o̲n̲f̲i̲d̲e̲n̲t̲i̲a̲l̲ financial data, or "trade secrets" as that term has been defined by Kansas courts.

Book excerpt: 1988 House Bill No. 2704, places restraints on the "property rights" of individuals in order to promote and protect the well established public welfare interest of insuring that human remains are treated properly. In our opinion it clearly represents a valid exercise of the state's inherent police power. Therefore, any private individual claiming ownership of human skeletal remains would not be entitled to compensation simply because the state regulation requires relinquishment of the remains. However, if a claimant convinced the court that 1988 House Bill No. 2704 operated as an eminent domain taking of an identifiable property interest, rather than a valid exercise of police power, the court could require compensation for any legally held property interest taken by the regulation. Valuation of such a property interest would require consideration of factors set forth in K.S.A. 26-513(d) and evidence of (1) the fair market value and condition of the portion of property at the time of the taking, and (2) the loss of that value to the legal owner.
