Book Description
As amended by L. 1982, ch. 144, section 5, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567 provides that a person convicted of a violation of the offense of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol may be required to perform public or community service work as an alternative to incarceration or payment of a fine. In assigning the work to be performed, a judge or court services division would be exercising judicial and discretionary functions, respectively, and would be exempt from liability under the Tort Claims Act, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 75-6101 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲. However, as noted by Attorney General Opinion Nos. 81-98 and 82-157, the recipient organization (including local governments and non-profit corporations) may be liable for injuries and damages inflicted or suffered by persons acting within the scope of their designated community service duties. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567 (as amended by L. 1982, ch. 144, section 5), K.S.A. 21-4610, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 75-6102, 75-6104.

Book Description
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 Description
As amended by L. 1982, ch. 144, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567 contains new provisions for the sentencing of persons who are convicted of operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. Additionally, the act amends K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1001 to admit into evidence the defendant's refusal to take a chemical test for the presence of alcohol. While the act does not specifically provide that these changes will apply only to offenses committed after its effective date of July 1, 1982, such a result is necessary in view of the substantive, as opposed to merely procedural, nature of these two amendments. Accordingly, the above-referenced amendments are applicable only to offenses committed after the effective date of the act. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1001, 8-1567, both as amended by L. 1982, ch. 144, K.S.A. 21-3102, 22-4618.

Book Description
The sole issue to be resolved at an administrative herring held under the "implied consent" law (K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1001) is the reasonableness of a person's refusal to submit to a request to take a blood-alcohol test. At the hearing, the only testimony needed from the arresting officer is the sworn report required in the statute, and if the sworn report addresses the necessary issues, there is no need for the officer to attend the hearing. However, if the sworn report fails to discuss whether the licensee was capable of making a voluntary response to the request to submit to a blood-alcohol test, and it appears that this issue will be raised in the administrative hearing, the testimony of the arresting officer is essential and the attendance of the arresting officer may be compelled by subpoena [K.S.A. 8-255(b)]. Cited herein: K.S.A. 8-255, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1001 and K.S.A. 54-101.
