Book Description
Pursuant to K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 79-3425, there is a daily transfer to the highway fund of 69.23% of certain revenues accruing to the state freeway fund. The legislature clearly intends that proceeds of the various motor fuel taxes credited to said fund be subject to such transfer, but it is difficult to discern from the pertinent statutory provisions whether the legislature intends that a similar transfer be made of moneys representing interest on the highway fund that are credited to the state freeway fund pursuant to K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 68-2313. However, because the state officers charged with the administration and implementation of the relevant statutory provisions have consistently construed such provisions as precluding the daily transfer of highway fund interest moneys from the freeway fund to the highway fund, such interpretation is not only entitled to great weight, but is controlling, in light of the legislature's continued acquiescence in such interpretation. Cited herein: K.S.A. 68-2301, K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 68-2304, K.S.A. 68-2306, K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 68-2313, 79-3401, 79-3425, K.S.A. 79-3474, K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 79-3487, K.S.A. 79-3490, K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 79-34,104, L. 1979, ch. 323, section 3.

Book Description
Kansas is a member state in the Interstate Compact on Mental Health by the terms of K.S.A. 65-3101, which incorporate the compact into Kansas statutes. Part of the compact concerns the escape of dangerous or potentially dangerous patients from institutions in any state party to the compact. Upon the capture and identification of such patients, they are to be detained until they can be returned to the state in which they were committed. In this specific circumstance, the provisions of K.S.A. 59-2901 et seq., relating to orders for protective custody and commitment, do not apply, and the patient may be held without such proceedings prior to return to the state from which he escaped. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 59-2902, K.S.A. 59-2904, K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 59-2905, 59-2908, 59-2909, 59-2912, K.S.A. 59-2917, 65-3101.

Book Description
For purposes of civil proceedings under the Code for Care of Children, the legislature defined types of behavior which would constitute sexual abuse by reference to sex offenses in the criminal code, however, it did not thereby intend to adopt a criminal definition of sexual abuse. Thus, while certain acts described as sex offenses in the criminal statutes may not be punishable crimes if committed with a child age 16 years or older; those same acts may constitute abuse of that child under the definition of that term in the Code for Care of Children. Cited herein: K.S.A. 21-3501, 21-3503, 21-3504 as amended by L. 1983, ch. 109; 21-3509, 21-3510, 21-3511, 21-3516, K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 38-1502 as amended by L. 1983, ch. 140, 42 U.S.C. sections 5102, 5104, 45 C.F.R. section 1340.2, 1340.14, 48 Fed. Reg. 3698 (January 26, 1983).

Book Description
K.S.A. 82a-1316 provides that any contract for the withdrawal of water held in conservation storage by the state may be amended by written agreement of the parties, provided that such amendment does not affect the rate per unit of water or the minimum charge payable each year. Provisions specifying the point of withdrawal of water, however, may be amended so as to change the reservoir named in the contract. Such an amendment must, in order to have effect, be transmitted to and approved by the legislature in the same manner as water purchase contracts. Cited herein: K.S.A. 19-3435, 82a-1301, K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 82a-1307, K.S.A. 82a-1316, L. 1976, ch. 441, section 4, L. 1982, ch. 438, section 1.

Book Description
The existence of statutes which provide that persons who have attained a prescribed age can give informed consent to receive medical treatment under certain circumstances, or which expressly relieve a physician or other health care provider from civil liability for competently furnishing certain medical services to minors, does not preclude the possibility that a particular minor may be capable of giving informed consent to receive other medical services or contraceptives. However, absent a statute which prescribes that all persons of a prescribed age can give informed consent to receive contraceptives or medical treatment, or which expressly relieves a physician or other health care provider from liability for providing contraceptives or medical treatment to persons less than the statutorily-prescribed age of majority, it would be a question of fact for the trier of facts to determine whether informed consent could be given by a particular person and whether such consent indeed had been given. Cited herein: K.S.A. 38-101, 38-123b, 65-2891, 65-2892, 65-2892a.
