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
Simply stated, the public purpose doctrine permits the spending of public funds only for public purposes. A benefit to specific individuals does not necessarily deprive the expenditure of its public character if the benefit is incidental to the primary purpose of promoting the public welfare. In our opinion, the cost-share program that provides public monies to assist landowners in plugging their abandoned wells serves the public welfare. The program was implemented in response to the federal water pollution control act (commonly referred to as the clean water act) to expeditiously restore and maintain the biological integrity of the nation's waters. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 65-101; 65-164; K.S.A. 65-171a; 75-5657; 82a-1213; 82a-1214; 33 U.S.C. sections 1251, 1329, 1362.

Book Description
When the legislature has named a day on which an election is to be held, or places bounds within which it must be held, a proclamation naming a day other than that fixed by the statutes is void and the election confers nothing. K.S.A. 19-204, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 38, section 4 provides that an election regarding a change in the number of county commissioners is to be conducted on the day of the general election, following not less than 60 days the presentation of the petition. Because November 3, 1992, falls within that 60-day period, an election regarding a change in the number of county commissioners for Chase county may not be called for November 3, 1992, but rather, must be called for the date of the general election to be conducted in November, 1994. Cited herein: K.S.A. 19-204, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 38, section 4; 25-2502; K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 25-3601, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 194, section 2; 25-3602, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 194, section 3; 77-201; Kan. Const., art. 4, section 2.

Book Description
The legislature has effectively placed a moratorium during that period running from the first Wednesday following the first Tuesday in December of even-numbered years to the Tuesday immediately preceding the first Wednesday in April of odd-numbered years on elections regarding a change in the method of election or voting plan for members of a board of education. Because Tuesday, April 6, 1993, falls within that period of time subject to the moratorium, no election regarding a change in the method of election or voting plan for members of a board of education may be conducted on April 6, 1992. The provisions of K.S.A. 72-8004 are mandatory. If, in order to meet federal requirements, proposed member districts cannot be drawn so as to comply with the conditions set forth in K.S.A. 72-8004, a change in the method of election or voting plan may not be made. Cited herein: K.S.A. 72-8001; 72-8004; 72-8005; 72-8008; 72-8009; 42 U.S.C. section 1971.

Book Description
Pursuant to K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 74-4960, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 321, section 14, and 74-4960a, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 321, section 15, the Kansas public employees retirement system (KPERS) is obligated to make payment of the 10% benefit due a minor child of a disabled member of the Kansas police and firemen's retirement system (KP & F) only to a legally appointed conservator. It is necessary, therefore, that a conservator be appointed for each minor child of the member's family. Unless the divorce decree provides otherwise, a member of KP & F who is making child support payments pursuant to a divorce decree is entitled to credit toward those payments the amount of the 10% benefit paid by KPERS to the conservator of the minor child. If the 10% benefit exceeds the amount owed pursuant to the divorce decree, the excess will be considered a gratuity under the divorce decree. If the court determines that payment of the 10% benefit to a conservator somehow results in a material change in circumstances, the court may modify the order fixing child support. Cited herein: K.S.A. 20-165, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 312, section 1; K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 59-3004; 60-1610, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 273, section 2; 74-4916, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 321, section 8; 74-4927h; 74-4959, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 321, section 13; K.S.A. 74-4960, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 321, section 14; 74-4960a, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 321, section 15.
