Book Description
In B̲e̲l̲l̲o̲t̲t̲i̲ ̲v̲.̲ ̲B̲a̲i̲r̲d̲, 443 U.S. 622, 995 S. Ct. 3035, 61 L. Ed. 2d 797 (1979) (plurality opinion) the United States Supreme Court held that the United States Constitution would permit a state to require a pregnant minor to obtain parental consent to an abortion if the state provided an alternative procedure whereby the minor could establish that she was mature enough to make the decision on her own or that it would be in her best interests to have the abortion. Since 1988 House Bill No. 2950 establishes such an alternative procedure, it is our opinion that its parental consent requirements would pass constitutional muster. Cited herein: 1988 House Bill No. 2950.

Book Description
1988 Substitute for House Bill No. 2219 does not violate Art. 2, section 16 of the Kansas Constitution which prohibits a bill from containing more than one subject. The Kansas courts have ruled that a statute should not be declared invalid under this provision unless invalidity is manifest. It is not clearly manifest that H.B. 2219 contains more than one subject, as both bills that were combined in the final version of H.B. 2219 concern animal welfare. None of the circumstances for which Art. 2, section 16 was designed to prevent are present in this case. Further, the title of H.B. 2219 clearly expresses the subject matter and gives fair notice of the content of the bill as constitutionally required. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1987 Supp. 21-1213; 1988 Substitute for House Bill No. 2219; Kan. Const. Art. 2, section 16.

Book Description
While there is no express provision in the Kansas Constitution that prohibits the legislature from appointing its members to administrative boards or commissions, the separation of powers doctrine prohibits the legislature from usurping the powers of another governmental branch. In view of the case law history of this doctrine and the facts with which we have been presented, we cannot conclusively say that legislative membership on the emergency medical services board is unconstitutional under the separation of powers doctrine. Cited herein: K.S.A. 65-4316; 74-2127; Kan. Const., Art. 2, section 14; 1988 House Bill No. 2639.

Book Description
1988 House Bill No. 2704, places restraints on the "property rights" of individuals in order to promote and protect the well established public welfare interest of insuring that human remains are treated properly. In our opinion it clearly represents a valid exercise of the state's inherent police power. Therefore, any private individual claiming ownership of human skeletal remains would not be entitled to compensation simply because the state regulation requires relinquishment of the remains. However, if a claimant convinced the court that 1988 House Bill No. 2704 operated as an eminent domain taking of an identifiable property interest, rather than a valid exercise of police power, the court could require compensation for any legally held property interest taken by the regulation. Valuation of such a property interest would require consideration of factors set forth in K.S.A. 26-513(d) and evidence of (1) the fair market value and condition of the portion of property at the time of the taking, and (2) the loss of that value to the legal owner. Cited herein: K.S.A. 7-103; 12-707; 12-1401; 13-14c01; 14-1007; 15-1001; 15-1014; 17-1302; 19-1015; 19-2901; 19-3106; 21-3512; 21-4112; 21-4115; 21-4214; 22-3902; 26-513; 41-101; 58-2501; 65-901; 65-1701; 65-4127; 73-301; and 80-916.
