Book Description
Section 4(d) of 1983 House Bill No. 2327 (L. 1983, ch. 171), the new Kansas Open Records Act, provides that each request for access shall be acted upon as soon as possible, but not later than three business days following receipt of the request. Only if the request cannot be met within this time must the custodian of the records provide an explanation of the cause for further delay. In addition, the phrases "provide access to" and "permit inspection of" are used interchangeably throughout the bill, and may accordingly be treated as synonymous for purposes of interpretation. Both phrases concern the right of the public to examine public records, and so are different than the right to make copies. Cited herein: L. 1983, Ch. 171.

Book Description
1983 Senate Bill No. 28, enacted as L. 1983, ch. 202, provides a limited legislative grant of immunity to a donor of free food to a charitable or non-profit organization which subsequently distributes the food to the public. Except in cases where injury is a direct result of the negligence, recklessness or intentional misconduct of the donor, no liability shall attach. However, the law is restricted to a good-faith donor of canned or perishable food, with the former term defined to mean food which is commercially processed and prepared for human consumption. Food which is processed by an individual in their home, even if by accepted methods of canning, cannot be considered as commercially processed unless the individual normally engages in the sale of such canned goods for profit. Cited herein: L. 1983, ch. 202.

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).

The filing deadline for all city elections (in the absence of a charter ordinance providing otherwise) is 12:00 o'clock noon of the Tuesday preceding by 10 weeks the first Tuesday in April. Said deadline is mandatory, and the only recourse for a candidate, who was prevented from filing for a city office because of the failure of the city clerk to keep his or her office open until 12:00 o'clock noon on the prescribed date, is to seek relief from a court of law. Cited herein: K.S.A. 25-2109, as amended by L. 1982, ch. 157, section 6.

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.
