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
The United States constitution has delegated to congress the power to determine the qualifications of its own members and to expel its members when necessary. Because this is a power reserved for the individual houses of congress, the tenth amendment of the United States constitution does not reserve to the states the authority to remove members of congress from office. K.S.A. 25-4301 et seq. are not applicable to members of congress. Cited herein: K.S.A. 25-4301; 25-4304; U.S. Const., art. 1, sec. 5, amend. 10.

Book Description
1993 house bill no. 2070 amended the water transfer act, specifically K.S.A. 82a-1504(c), eliminating the legislative oversight of water transfers. The amendment contained procedural changes that are applied retroactively unless the legislature indicates otherwise. Thus the legislative review requirement in the former statute, K.S.A. 82a-1504(c) (Ensley 1989), does not apply to a water transfer in litigation during the amendment of the statute wherein the legislative oversight provision was eliminated. Cited herein: K.S.A. 65-4801; 82a-701; 82a-1504 (Ensley 1989); K.S.A. 1993 Supp. 82a-1504; K.S.A. 82a-5801.
