Book Description
K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 75-4218 provides that all state bank accounts shall be secured by a pledge of securities owned by each bank receiving a deposit. The term "securities" is defined by K.S.A. 75-4201(p)(1) to include direct obligations of, or obligations that are insured by, the United States government or one of its agencies. By virtue of 12 U.S.C. 52001 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., federal land banks, land bank associations, production credit associations, intermediate credit banks and banks for cooperatives are "federally chartered instrumentalities". This term has been interpreted by courts in Kansas and elsewhere as not raising them to the level of federal agencies. Accordingly, under K.S.A. 75-4201 as it now reads, obligations of these federally chartered instrumentalities may not be pledged to secure the deposit of state funds in Kansas banks. However, due to a 1983 amendment to K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 19-1402, such obligations may be used as security for the deposit of m̲u̲n̲i̲c̲i̲p̲a̲l̲ funds. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 9-1402; K.S.A. 75-4201; K.S.A. 1985 Supp 75-4218; L. 1983, ch. 47, section 3; 12 U.S.C. sections 2011, 2012, 2031, 2033, 2071, 2072, 2091, 2093, 2121, 2122, 2155, 2157.

Book Description
Under its police power, a state may reimburse itself for the cost of regulating and supervising a business by assessing the necessary expenses to the business which created the necessity for such regulation and supervision. Use of conservation fee fund monies for the prevention and cleanup of pollution from oil and gas activities regulated by the state corporation commission is sufficiently related to the regulatory function to make its use for such purposes a valid exercise of the police power. The conservation fee fund may be used to fund the study and cleanup of oil and gas pollution pursuant to section 37 of 1986 House Bill No. 3078 (K.S.A. 55-143, as amended by 1986, ch. 201, section 37), to the extent that such study and cleanup are reasonably related to those activities of the oil and gas industry which are regulated by the commission. Use of the conservation fee fund by the state corporation commission for those oil and gas activities it does not regulate (as authorized by K.S.A. 55-143, as amended by L. 1986, ch. 201, section 37, which references subsection (a)(2)(A)-of K.S.A. 65-171d, as amended by L. 1986, ch. 201. section 22), is contrary to the findings of the Kansas Supreme Court in P̲a̲n̲h̲a̲n̲d̲l̲e̲ ̲E̲a̲s̲t̲e̲r̲n̲ ̲P̲i̲p̲e̲l̲i̲n̲e̲ ̲v̲.̲ ̲F̲a̲d̲e̲l̲e̲y̲. Such use exacts revenue from the oil and gas industry under the guise of a regulatory fee in violation of article 11, section 1 of the Kansas Constitution, and the commerce clause and the Fourteenth Amendment of the United State Constitution. Cited herein: Kans. Const., Art. 11, section 1; U.S. Const., Fourteenth Amendment; K.S.A. 55-131; 55-143; 65-171d, as amended by L. 1986, ch. 33, section 10(f); L. 1986, ch. 201, sections 1, 2, 10, 17, 22, 28, 37, 39 and 40; and K.A.R. 28-41-1.

Book Description
Under the provisions of K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 79-213, the Board of Tax Appeals is authorized to examine the legal and factual basis of an economic development tax exemption granted pursuant to Article 11, Section 13 of the Kansas Constitution. However, the Board has no authority to review the advisability of granting a proposed exemption, as that policy decision has been delegated to the governing body of the city or county by Article 11, Section 13 of the Kansas Constitution. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 79-213; Kan. Const., Art. 11, section 13.

Book Description
K.S.A. 75-4319(b)(2) authorizes public bodies subject to the Kansas Open Meetings Act (KOMA) to recess into an executive session for the purpose of "consultation with an attorney for the body or agency which would be deemed privileged in the attorney-client relationship ..." The term "consultation" as used in the KOMA necessarily implies the presence of an attorney. Even though a letter from an attorney to his client containing advice is a privileged communication, we must conclude that members of a public body cannot recess into an executive session to review and discuss among themselves a letter from their attorney. Therefore, it is our opinion that the "consultation with an attorney" exception to the open meetings law cannot be invoked unless the attorney for the body is present. Cited herein: K.S.A. 60-426; 75-4317; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 75-4318(a); K.S.A. 75-4319.
