Book Description
The conclusion reached in Attorney General Opinion No. 81-158, that a state's interest rate limitations on business and agricultural loans of $1,000 or more have been preempted by federal legislation, is affirmed. However, because such preemption is operative only if the federally-prescribed interest rate limitation exceeds a state's limitation, such preemptive interest rate is not applicable in Kansas, since Kansas statutes no longer impose any interest rate limitations on business and agricultural loans. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 16-207 (as amended by L. 1981, ch. 88, section 1), 16a-1-301 (as amended by L. 1981, ch. 93, section 5), 12 U.S.C.A. section 86a, P.L. 96-221, section 521, P.L. 96-399, section 324.

Book Description
Through the imposition of fines for unlawful conduct, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 8-1901(d) imposes criminal liability. In addition, subsection (a) of that statute does not appear to violate the United States Constitution's Equal Protection Clause, although it only imposes liability upon a limited class of persons. Moreover, that subsection appears to convey a sufficiently definite warning as to the conduct proscribed therein, so as to avoid being unconstitutionally vague and uncertain. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 8-1901, 8-1909, K.S.A. 8-2116, 8-2204, 21-3105, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 21-4503, U.S. Const., Amend. XIV.

There are no statutory obstacles to an election commissioner also holding the office of mayor of a city of the second class. Moreover, the common law doctrine of incompatibility of offices does not preclude such simultaneous incumbencies.

Book Description
L. 1981, Ch. 156 section 2(g) does not require that an inmate convicted of a class A, B or C felony by reason of aiding, Abetting, advising or counseling another to commit a crime, or by reason of the principle provided for in subsection (2) of K.S.A. 21-3205, serve one-half of the minimum term of imprisonment imposed by the court. Rather, the law requires that the inmate serve one-half of the term of imprisonment which would be required had not the aiding, abetting, etc. come into play. Thus, on a class A felony conviction, parole eligibility would occur after seven and one-half years of confinement and on a class B or C felony conviction, parole eligibility would occur after service of one-half of the minimum sentence imposed less good time credits available. Cited herein: L. 1981, Ch. 156.
