Book Description
Based on I̲n̲ ̲r̲e̲ ̲A̲p̲p̲l̲i̲c̲a̲t̲i̲o̲n̲ ̲o̲f̲ ̲N̲o̲e̲l̲ ̲f̲o̲r̲ ̲D̲i̲s̲c̲h̲a̲r̲g̲e̲ ̲H̲e̲a̲r̲i̲n̲g̲, 17 Kan. App. 2d 303 (1992), it is our opinion that K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 22-3428(3), as amended, and K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 22-3428a(3), which are used to determine the need for continued commitment of insanity acquittees, violate the due process and equal protection clauses of the 14th amendment by not placing the burden of proof upon the state to show by clear and convincing evidence both the committed person's continued insanity and dangerousness. However, rather than striking the statutes down, the Court of Appeals engrafted the essential requirements onto the statutes. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 22-3428, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 309, section 3; 22-3428a.

Book Description
Service of process is a condition precedent to an employee's request for the provision of defense counsel by a governmental entity, unless such condition is waived. If, after the employee has been served, the entity lawfully refuses to provide for such defense, and if the request was made in accordance with the statute, then the entity must reimburse the employee for attorney expenses incurred as a result of the retention of private counsel. Absent service of process, timely request for, and proper refusal of providing legal defense counsel, no right is conferred on the employee to retain private counsel at the expense of the governmental entity. Cited herein: K.S.A. 75-6103, 75-6108, 75-6109.

Book Description
As it appears no compelling governmental interest is served by the durational residence requirement set forth in K.S.A. 76-1908(b), the requirement results in a violation of the equal protection clause and is therefore unconstitutional. Cited herein: K.S.A. 76-1902b; 76-1908; L. 1889, ch. 235, section 11; U.S. Const., art. I, section 8; U.S. Const., art. IV, section 2; U.S. Const., Amend. XIV.

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.
