Book Description
Pursuant to K.S.A. 66-104, a municipally owned and operated water company, which supplies a rural water district with surplus water pursuant to a contract, is not a public utility subject to the control of the state. Kansas law does not require city owned water companies to extend existing water services to new consumers residing in rural water districts. Therefore, pursuant to a contract with a rural water district, a city may limit the availability of services to new consumers residing outside the city. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1988 Supp. 12-519; K.S.A 12-707; K.S.A. 1988 Supp. 12-715b; K.S.A. 12-801; 12-808; K.S.A. 1988 Supp. 12-2001; 65-162a; 66-104; 66-131a; 66-133, 82a-612; 82a-619; 82a-625.

Book Description
The purpose of the Safety Belt Use Act is to educate rather than punish. However, law enforcement officers should not be constrained from enforcing the act within the bounds of its provisions. When an officer can articulate facts which would lead a cautious person to believe that a violation has occurred, a citation may then issue. Drivers are not to be cited for violations committed by passengers. Any person 10 or more years of age may be held responsible for failure to fasten their safety belt. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-1344; 8-1345; K.S.A. 8-2101; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 21-3105; 38-1602, K.S.A. 41-2719; L. 1986, ch. 35, sections 3, 4.

Book Description
While the state may require abortions to be performed in licensed facilities from and after the first trimester, K.S.A. 21-3407 sweeps too broadly and the offending provisions cannot be severed from the rest without legislative amendment. We note that the United States Supreme Court is currently considering a case which may modify Roe v. Wade, and thus render this opinion invalid. Cited herein: K.S.A. 21-3407.

Book Description
Under the United States Supreme Court decision in H̲a̲z̲e̲l̲w̲o̲o̲d̲ ̲S̲c̲h̲o̲o̲l̲ ̲D̲i̲s̲t̲r̲i̲c̲t̲ ̲v̲.̲ ̲K̲u̲h̲l̲m̲e̲i̲e̲̲r̲, local public school officials and administrators may exercise reasonable control over activities sponsored by a public school such as publications, theatrical productions and other expressive activities so long as the educators' actions are reasonably related to legitimate pedagogical concerns and there is no intent to create a public forum. Also, Section 11 of the Kansas Bill of Rights does not provide an absolute right to freedom of speech and expression. Students in private, accredited schools are subject to reasonable school regulations. The H̲a̲z̲e̲l̲w̲o̲o̲d̲ decision applies to public schools on its facts, and does not apply to non-public schools. Cited herein: Kans. Const., B. of R., section 11; U.S. Const., Amend. I, XIV.

Book Description
Gross operating revenue," as that term is used in 1989 House Bill No. 2502, includes revenue received from transactions other than title insurance. For purposes of determining whether 20% of gross operating revenue received in the previous six months is derived from controlled business, revenue received from transactions involving land sales in counties populated by 10,000 or less is not included. Since the prohibitions contained in the act do not substantially impair obligations under existing title insurance contracts, the act does not violate the contracts clause of the United States Constitution. The distinction between counties having a population of 10,000 or less and those having a population of more than 10,000 does not create an impermissible classification. Finally, the rule-making authority granted by the act does not conflict with the statute granting rulemaking authority in areas not affected by the act. Cited herein: K.S.A. 40-1111, as amended by L. 1988, ch. 156, section 19; K.S.A. 40-2404 (Ensley 1986); K.S.A. 1988 Supp. 40-2404, as amended by 1989 House Bill No. 2502; K.S.A. 40-2404a; K.A.R. 40-3-43 (Proposed, not yet published); U.S. Const. Art. I, section 10, cl. 1.
