Book Description
The question of whether the city's sale of a municipally owned utility is county business is an administrative decision to be made by the county commissioners in their exercise of the county's powers of home rule. Courts have interpreted powers of home rule as involving a great latitude of discretion. However, the county's authority to exercise its powers of home rule is subject to the limitations upon such grant of power found in K.S.A. 1987 Supp. 19-101a. Limitation number five prohibits a county from superseding or impairing a city's ability to determine its local affairs pursuant to its constitutional and statutory powers of home rule. Whether an advisory election will impair a city's ability to determine its local affairs must be determined on a case by case basis taking all of the facts and circumstances into consideration. Cited herein: K.S.A. 12-101; K.S.A. 1987 Supp. 19-101a; K.S.A. 19-101c.

Book Description
1988 House Bill No. 2704, places restraints on the "property rights" of individuals in order to promote and protect the well established public welfare interest of insuring that human remains are treated properly. In our opinion it clearly represents a valid exercise of the state's inherent police power. Therefore, any private individual claiming ownership of human skeletal remains would not be entitled to compensation simply because the state regulation requires relinquishment of the remains. However, if a claimant convinced the court that 1988 House Bill No. 2704 operated as an eminent domain taking of an identifiable property interest, rather than a valid exercise of police power, the court could require compensation for any legally held property interest taken by the regulation. Valuation of such a property interest would require consideration of factors set forth in K.S.A. 26-513(d) and evidence of (1) the fair market value and condition of the portion of property at the time of the taking, and (2) the loss of that value to the legal owner. Cited herein: K.S.A. 7-103; 12-707; 12-1401; 13-14c01; 14-1007; 15-1001; 15-1014; 17-1302; 19-1015; 19-2901; 19-3106; 21-3512; 21-4112; 21-4115; 21-4214; 22-3902; 26-513; 41-101; 58-2501; 65-901; 65-1701; 65-4127; 73-301; and 80-916.

Book Description
42 U.S.C. 290aa, Part C, Sec. 523b(1) prohibits the use of federally provided amounts as a non-federal match contribution. Once a recipient provider has properly received Medicaid reimbursement funds and is free to expend them in any legally permissible manner, those funds become the freely alienable property of that recipient. Thus, such a recipient and not the federal government provides the funds which may thereafter be used to match a grant pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 290aa, Part C, Sec. 523(a). Cited herein: 42 U.S.C. 290aa, Part C, Sec. 523; 42 U.S.C.A. 1396; 42 C.F.R. 74.53; 42 C.F.R. 433.45; K.S.A. 39-701, 39-717, 75-3301, 75-5301; K.A.R. 30-5-58.

Book Description
Certain portions of K.S.A. 39-709, as amended by L. 1988, ch. 143, section 8, conflict with sections of the Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act of 1988, 42 U.S.C. section 1396p. In order to comply with the more restrictive federal eligibility standards, and thus remain eligible for participation in the federal medicare program, state legislative action is necessary to amend those portions of the statute that directly conflict with federal requirements. Cited herein: K.S.A. 39-709, as amended by L. 1988, ch. 143, section 8; 42 U.S.C. section 1396p (Supp. 1988).
