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
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
No person who has declared and retains a political party affiliation in accordance with K.S.A. 25-3301 is eligible to accept an independent nomination for office. A person who is affiliated with a political party may, 14 days prior to the primary election, change the person's party or voter affiliation. If the person timely changes to an unaffiliated status, the person may accept an independent nomination provided the independent nomination petitions are properly filed pursuant to K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 25-305, as amended by 1992 House Bill No. 3213. A person who files as a partisan candidate in the primary election and who maintains such candidacy may not file as an independent candidate in the general election immediately following. A person who has filed as a partisan candidate in a primary election may, after withdrawing such candidacy and timely changing to an unaffiliated status, file as an independent candidate in the general election. The United States District Court for the district of Kansas has determined that K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 25-303, as amended by 1992 Senate Bill No. 789 requires only that signers of independent nomination petitions reside in the same county and election district of the office sought. This requirement does not restrict circulators to their home county and election district. The circulators may seek signatures anywhere in the state, but the signers must reside in the same county and election district as the circulators. While a qualified elector who is circulating an independent nomination petition is restricted to collecting signatures of those persons residing in that area intersected by the county and the election district in which the qualified elector resides, the candidate may collect signatures of persons residing anywhere within the election district. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 25-202; 25-303, as amended by 1992 Senate Bill No. 789; 25-305, as amended by 1992 House Bill No. 3213; K.S.A. 25-3301; K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 25-3304; K.S.A. 25-303 (Ensley 1988); L. 1989, ch. 106, section 2; L. 1988, ch. 119, section 1.

Book Description
The terms defined in K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 77-415(4) (as amended by section 1 of 1982 House Bill No. 2712) have the meanings ascribed thereto only when such terms are used in the Rules and Regulations Filing Act (K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 77-415 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., and amendments thereto), except where it is clear that the use of such terms in other statutes is intended by the legislature to convey such meanings. Thus, plans, bulletins, policy manuals and other documents issued by state agencies are not rules and regulations under the filing act, unless they meet the definitional criteria of "rule and regulation" in K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 77-415(4) (as amended). However, unless otherwise specifically provided by statute, such plans, bulletins, policy manuals and other documents which satisfy these definitional criteria do not have the force and effect of law, unless they are promulgated as rules and regulations pursuant to the filing act and filed with the Office of the Revisor of Statutes. Unless altered by legislative enactment, the procedure prescribed in the filing act for legislative oversight and review of rules and regulations may not be extended so as to include plans, bulletins, policy manuals and other documents of state agencies which have not been promulgated in compliance with the filing act. Cited herein: K.S.A. 46-1201, 46-1206, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 72-961, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 77-415, 77-416, 77-420 and 77-421 (as amended by sections 1,2,3 and 4, respectively, of 1982 House Bill No. 2712), K.S.A. 77-425, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 77-426 (as amended by section 7 of 1982 House Bill No. 2712), 77-436; 1982 House Bill Nos. 2724 and 3151.
