23 Sec. 2. K.S.A. 1996 Supp. 12-4305 is hereby amended to read
24 as follows: 12-4305. (a) The municipal judge shall establish a sched-
25 ule of fines which shall be imposed for municipal ordinance vio-
26 lations that are classified as ordinance traffic infractions. Also, the
27 municipal judge may establish a schedule of fines which shall be
28 imposed for the violation of certain other ordinances. Any fine so
29 established shall be within the minimum and maximum allowable
30 fines established by ordinance for such offenses by the governing
31 body. The following traffic violations are specifically excluded
32 from any schedule of fines:
33 (1) Reckless driving;
34 (2) driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or
35 both, or driving with a blood or breath alcohol concentration of
36 .08 or more;

3
1 except as provided in subsection (c), appear at the place and time
2 specified in the notice to appear. If the person enters an appear-
3 ance, waives right to trial, pleads guilty or no contest, the fine shall
4 be no greater than that specified in the schedule.
5 (c) Except as provided in subsection (c) of K.S.A. 12-4214, and
6 amendments thereto, prior to the time specified in the notice to ap-
7 pear, a person charged with an ordinance cigarette or tobacco in-
8 fraction or a violation of an ordinance contained in a schedule of
9 fines established under subsection (a) may enter an appearance,
10 waive right to trial, plead guilty or no contest and pay the fine for
11 the violation as specified in the schedule or in subsection (a) (d) of
12 K.S.A. 12-4214 and amendments thereto. At the election of the
13 person charged, such appearance, waiver, plea and payment may
14 be made by mail or in person and payment may be by personal
15 check. The complaint shall not have been complied with if a check
16 is not honored for any reason, or the fine is not paid in full prior
17 to the time specified in the notice to appear. When a person
18 charged with an ordinance cigarette or tobacco infraction or an
19 ordinance traffic infraction or other ordinance violation on a
20 schedule of fines makes payment without executing a written
21 waiver of right to trial and plea of guilty or no contest, the payment
22 shall be deemed such an appearance, waiver of right to trial and
23 plea of no contest.
24 The municipal judge may authorize the clerk of the municipal
25 court or some other person to accept by mail or in person such
26 voluntary appearance, plea of guilty or no contest and payment of
27 the fine imposed by the schedule or by subsection (a) (d) of K.S.A.
28 12-4214 and amendments thereto.
29 The schedule of fines and persons authorized to accept such
30 pleas shall be conspicuously displayed in the office where such
31 voluntary appearance, plea of guilty and payment of fine occurs.

20 rable felony, as it was classified under the criminal law in effect prior to
21 July 1, 1993. If the severity level of the most serious crime charged raises
22 the potential penalty above that of another crime which was classified
23 higher under the criminal law in effect prior to July 1, 1993, the defendant
24 shall be allowed the number of peremptory challenges as for that higher
25 classified crime under the prior system.
26 (I) The trial court shall resolve any conflicts with a liberal construc-
27 tion in favor of allowing the greater number of peremptory challenges.

31 may empanel one or more alternate or additional jurors whenever, in the
32 judge's discretion, the judge believes it advisable to have such jurors avail-
33 able to replace jurors who, prior to the time the jury retires to consider
34 its verdict, become or are found to be unable to perform their duties.
35 Such jurors shall be selected in the same manner, have the same quali-
36 fications, and be subject to the same examination and challenges and take
37 the same oath and have the same functions, powers and privileges as the
38 regular jurors. Each party shall be entitled to one peremptory challenge
39 to such alternate jurors. Such alternate jurors shall be seated near the
40 other jurors, with equal power and facilities for seeing and hearing the
41 proceedings in the case, and they must attend at all times upon the trial
42 of the cause in company with the other jurors. They shall obey the orders
43 of and be bound by the admonition of the court upon each adjournment,
SB 87--Am. by HCW
7
1 but if the regular jurors are ordered to be kept in custody during the trial
2 of the cause, such alternate jurors also shall be kept in confinement with
3 the other jurors. Upon final submission of the case to the jury, the alter-
4 nate jurors may be discharged or they may be retained separately and not
5 discharged until the final decision of the jury. If the alternate jurors are
6 not discharged on final submission of the case and if any regular juror
7 shall be discharged from jury service in any such action prior to the jury
8 reaching its verdict, the court shall draw the name of an alternate juror
9 who shall replace the juror so discharged and be subject to the same rules
10 and regulations as though such juror had been selected as one of the
11 original jurors.

25 appeal is taken.
26 (5) All appeals taken by a defendant from a district magistrate judge
27 in traffic infraction, cigarette or tobacco infraction offense and misde-
