Book Description
K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 38-1523 gives the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services (SRS) and certain law enforcement agencies authority to investigate reports of suspected child abuse or neglect, and to interview children on school premises pursuant to such investigations. That statute does not give school officials the right to be present at interviews conducted on school premises. Similarly, L. 1985, ch. 112, section 1, which allows for the prerecording of a child's statement, does not prohibit the making of such recordings during the course of interviews conducted on school premises. The thrust of both K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 38-1523 and L. 1985, ch. 112, section 1 is to require the schools, SRS and law enforcement to cooperate with one another in doing what is in the best interests of the child. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 38-1507, as amended by L. 1985, ch. 145, section 1; K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 38-1508; 38-1523; L. 1985, ch. 112, section 1.

Where a law enforcement officer detains a person without a warrant for misdemeanor theft, and the officer does not arrest the person but instead serves upon him a notice to appear in court, the officer must, pursuant to K.S.A. 22-2408, release the person upon receiving a written promise to appear in court. Under such circumstances, the officer may not detain the person to take fingerprints and photographs.

Book Description
As amended by chapter 282, section 5, the provisions of chapter 187, section 11 of the 1984 Session Laws prohibit the selling, giving or receiving of lists of names and addresses derived from public records, for the purpose of selling or offering for sale any property or service to the persons listed therein, subject to three exceptions. Section 6 of chapter 187, as amended by section 3 of chapter 282 of the 1984 Session Laws, further requires that any person who obtains a list of names and addresses certify that: (1) he or she will not use the information for the purpose of selling or offering for sale any property or services, and (2) will not give, sell or otherwise make available the list to another person so that the latter may sell or offer for sale any property or service. Accordingly, a person may not make commercial use of information derived from such lists, either directly or through the sale of the lists themselves.

Book Description
The provisions of subsections (c) and (d) of K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 77-426, which allow the legislature to reject, modify or revoke an administrative rule and regulation by means of the adoption of a concurrent resolution, are unconstitutional. Such action by the legislature is an unlawful usurpation of the governor's constitutional power to administer and enforce the laws. Such action violates the constitutional doctrine of separation of powers. In addition, the legislative oversight mechanism prescribed in subsections (c) and (d) of K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 77-426 is unconstitutional for the reason that it attempts to authorize the legislature to make law, without following the mandatory procedures of the Kansas Constitution. The Kansas constitution requires that any law be enacted only by bill [not by resolution or concurrent resolution]; that every bill contain the constitutionally-specified enacting clause; and that all bills passed by the legislature be presented to the governor for approval or disapproval. The procedure set forth in subsections (c) and (d) of K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 77-426 does not meet these constitutional requirements and is unconstitutional. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 77-426; Kan. Const., Art. 2, sections 14, 20.

Book Description
As amended by Laws 1984, Chapter 154, Section 1(g), K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 38-1523(g) establishes a policy that law enforcement officers investigating reports of abuse or neglect on school premises do so in street clothes. However, the statute imposes no absolute requirement and allows safety and practical considerations to be taken into account. Accordingly, a small police force could determine that its officers should not take the additional time needed to change from their uniforms into street clothes, and then back again, in making such investigations. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 38-1523, as amended by L. 1984, ch. 154, section 1(g).
