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
As previously noted in Attorney General Opinion No. 85-110, a concurrent resolution containing a constitutional amendment adopted by the legislature during the 1985 session may be amended during the 1986 session prior to being submitted to the voters in November, 1986. At present, Chapter 360 of the Laws of 1985 provides for the submission to the voters of an amendment to Article 15, Section 10, which would allow liquor by the drink under certain circumstances. The amendment must be approved by a majority of the voters of the entire state in order to be adopted and a majority of the voters in a particular county before becoming effective in that county. Such a "dual purpose" is clearly disclosed in the explanatory statement which is to be printed on the ballot with the proposed amendment. Further, since the Kansas Constitution limits, rather than confers, power, the people of the state may amend the constitution in any manner they deem appropriate, subject only to the limits of the United States Constitution. Cited herein: K.S.A. 41-301; L. 1985, Chs. 360, 364; Kan. Const., Art. 14, section 1; Art. 15, section 10; Kan. Bill of Rights, sections 2, 20.

Book Description
An attorney, appointed to represent an indigent defendant under the Kansas Indigent Defense Services Act, may accept compensation for such services from private sources as long as the attorney complies with the Act's requirements regarding such compensation. The Act requires the appointed attorney to report to the court the availability of private funds sufficient to fully pay for representation of a defendant and to seek permission to either withdraw from the case or to accept compensation. K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 22-4507 requires an attorney to report any partial compensation received to the Board of Indigents Defense Services when he or she submits a claim for compensation under the Act. K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 22-4510 does not prohibit the acceptence of such compensation as long as the attorney acts as authorized or directed under the Act. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 22-4501, 22-4503, 22-4507, 22-4510, L. 1976, ch. 169; 18 U.S.C. section 3006A.

Book Description
If one or more cooperative agreements are entered into by those parties specified in 29 U.S.C.A. section 1533(a)(1), then sums available for those purposes specified in section 1533 are to be provided by the Governor to the state education agency responsible for education and training. In Kansas, this agency is the State Board of Education. Thus, if one or more cooperative agreements are made, the federal moneys provided the state under 29 U.S.C.A. section 1533 must be made available to the State Board of Education. Those moneys may not be made available directly to service delivery areas. The State Board, of course, must use the moneys received for the purposes, and subject to the requirements, prescribed in section 1533. Cited herein: 20 U.S.C.A. section 2461; 29 U.S.C.A. sections 1503, 1531, 1533.
