Book Description
The provisions of 1986 House Bill No. 2789 create a state gaming revenues fund. Depending upon the passage of other legislation, all or part of the fund may be derived from the operation of a state lottery. While such a lottery is currently prohibited by Article 15, Section 3 of the Kansas Constitution, approval of a proposed constitutional amendment in November, 1986 would permit such activity. Under both Kansas case law and decisions in other states, the legislature may enact bills which are effective only upon the occurrence of some future event, which in this case would be approval of the lottery amendment. Accordingly, 1986 House Bill No. 2789 would be constitutional if enacted. Cited herein: K.S.A. 8-1336; 8-1340; L. 1974, ch. 360; L. 1985, ch. 314; ch. 364; 1985 Senate Concurrent Res. No. 1603; 1986 House Bill No. 2789; Kan. Const., Art. 15, sections 3, 4.

Book Description
K.S.A. 75-4319(b)(2) authorizes public bodies subject to the Kansas Open Meetings Act (KOMA) to recess into an executive session for the purpose of "consultation with an attorney for the body or agency which would be deemed privileged in the attorney-client relationship ..." The term "consultation" as used in the KOMA necessarily implies the presence of an attorney. Even though a letter from an attorney to his client containing advice is a privileged communication, we must conclude that members of a public body cannot recess into an executive session to review and discuss among themselves a letter from their attorney. Therefore, it is our opinion that the "consultation with an attorney" exception to the open meetings law cannot be invoked unless the attorney for the body is present. Cited herein: K.S.A. 60-426; 75-4317; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 75-4318(a); K.S.A. 75-4319.

Book Description
K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 75-4218 provides that all state bank accounts shall be secured by a pledge of securities owned by each bank receiving a deposit. The term "securities" is defined by K.S.A. 75-4201(p)(1) to include direct obligations of, or obligations that are insured by, the United States government or one of its agencies. By virtue of 12 U.S.C. 52001 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., federal land banks, land bank associations, production credit associations, intermediate credit banks and banks for cooperatives are "federally chartered instrumentalities". This term has been interpreted by courts in Kansas and elsewhere as not raising them to the level of federal agencies. Accordingly, under K.S.A. 75-4201 as it now reads, obligations of these federally chartered instrumentalities may not be pledged to secure the deposit of state funds in Kansas banks. However, due to a 1983 amendment to K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 19-1402, such obligations may be used as security for the deposit of m̲u̲n̲i̲c̲i̲p̲a̲l̲ funds. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 9-1402; K.S.A. 75-4201; K.S.A. 1985 Supp 75-4218; L. 1983, ch. 47, section 3; 12 U.S.C. sections 2011, 2012, 2031, 2033, 2071, 2072, 2091, 2093, 2121, 2122, 2155, 2157.
