Book Description
K.S.A. 53-105 prescribes the requirements of a notary seal in this state. Decisions of the Kansas Supreme Court indicate that the fact that a notary seal does not comply strictly with the statute will not necessarily invalidate the document to which the seal is affixed. Accordingly, the omission of the required words "state of Kansas" in a notary seal would not be construed to vitiate the effect of the document to which the seal is affixed. Cited herein: K.S.A. 53-105; 53-106; 53-118.

Book Description
K.S.A. 72-5308a authorizes the teacher in charge of each public school classroom to observe, at his or her option, a brief period of silence at the opening of each school day. Such a period of silence is not to be conducted as a religious exercise, but is to be used for silent prayer or silent reflection on the activities of the day. In that both the statute itself and the legislative history of this and subsequent bills indicates a legislative purpose which is not exclusively religious, the statute is not invalid under the holding of the United States Supreme Court in W̲a̲l̲l̲a̲c̲e̲ ̲v̲.̲ ̲J̲a̲f̲f̲r̲e̲e̲, -- U.S. --, 105 S. Ct. 2479 (1985). Cited herein: K.S.A. 72-5308a; U.S. Const., First Amend.

Book Description
The decision of the United States Supreme Court in R̲o̲e̲ ̲v̲.̲ ̲W̲a̲d̲e̲, 410 U.S. 113, 93 S. Ct. 705, 35 L. Ed. 2d 147 (1973), permits a state to regulate or even prohibit abortion after the stage of viability, except where it is necessary, in appropriate medical judgment, to preserve the life or health of the mother. Such regulations must be narrowly tailored to fit the precise state interest at stake. As a result, attempts to specify a particular time during a pregnancy when viability occurs or to interfere with the judgment of the attending physician have been struck down as unconstitutional, although general prohibitions on post-viability abortions have been upheld. Cited herein: U.S. Const., Fourteenth Amend.

Book Description
As a result of the decision in G̲a̲r̲c̲i̲a̲ ̲v̲̲.̲ ̲S̲a̲n̲ ̲A̲n̲̲t̲o̲n̲i̲o̲ ̲M̲e̲t̲r̲o̲p̲o̲l̲i̲t̲a̲n̲ ̲T̲r̲a̲n̲s̲i̲t̲ ̲A̲u̲t̲h̲o̲r̲i̲t̲y̲, the Dickinson County sheriff's department is subject to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Department employees who meet the qualifications of 29 C.F.R. section 553.4 are entitled to the exemption from overtime in 29 U.S.C.A. section 207(k) if the employer so elects. As the department has more than four employees who are law enforcement officers, it is therefore not eligible for the exemption in 29 U.S.C.A. section 213(b)(20). Law enforcement employees who are subject to section 7(k) may work a maximum of 171 hours in a 28 day pay period. Following April 15, 1985, overtime is required to be paid to such employees for any hours over this amount. Cited herein: 29 U.S.C.A. sections 201, 203, 206, 207, 213, 216, 217; K.S.A. 19-803, 44-1203, 44-1204; 29 C.F.R. sections 516, 531, 541, 553, 778, 785; U.S. Supreme Court Rule 51, 52.
