Prayer by guest chaplain, Dr. Roger A. Baskerville, Lay Minister/Deacon, Afton Trinity
Lutheran Church, Waterville, and guest of Rep. Schwartz:
Heavenly Father,
We ask that your Dove of peace descend upon
this assembly of representatives.
Enable them to call upon you in times of trial and tribulation,
as well as in moments of victory and success.
Constantly renew their strength that they might
soar on wings like eagles; that they be able to run
and not grow weary; to walk and not be faint.
We pray, gracious Lord, that in you we might all
find peace. We know that we will have trouble in
this world, but help us take heart, Lord, for we
also know that you have overcome the world.
May we act justly, love mercy, and always
walk humbly with our God.
I pray this in the name of my Savior,
Christ Jesus. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Rep. Kuether.

EXPLANATION OF VOTE
Mr. Speaker: My husband is a family practice physician. Many physicians also hold dual
licenses. Physicians are also designated as mandatory reporters of suspected child abuse. I
feel HB 2224 creates a double standard in allowing duly licensed attorneys to be protected
by attorney/client privilege. What about doctor/patient privilege? I feel we need to maintain
the standard under current law by which suspected cases of child abuse are mandatorily
reported. I vote no on HB 2224.--Becky Hutchins

state. The duration of the suspension ordered by the court shall be for a definite time period
to be determined by the court. Upon suspension of a license pursuant to this subsection,
the court shall require the juvenile offender to surrender the license to the court. The court
shall transmit the license to the division of motor vehicles of the department of revenue, to
be retained until the period of suspension expires. At that time, the licensee may apply to
the division for return of the license. If the license has expired, the juvenile offender may
apply for a new license, which shall be issued promptly upon payment of the proper fee and
satisfaction of other conditions established by law for obtaining a license unless another
suspension or revocation of the juvenile offender's privilege to operate a motor vehicle is in
effect. As used in this subsection, ''highway`` and ''street`` have the meanings provided by
K.S.A. 8-1424 and 8-1473, and amendments thereto. Any respondent who is adjudicated to
be a juvenile offender who does not have a driver's license may have such juvenile offender's
driving privileges revoked. No Kansas driver's license shall be issued to a juvenile offender
whose driving privileges have been revoked pursuant to this section for a definite time period
to be determined by the court.
(2) In lieu of suspending the driver's license or privilege to operate a motor vehicle on
the highways of this state of any respondent adjudicated to be a juvenile offender, as pro-
vided in subsection (c)(1), the court in which such juvenile offender was adjudicated to be
a juvenile offender may enter an order which places conditions on such juvenile offender's
privilege of operating a motor vehicle on the streets and highways of this state, a certified
copy of which such juvenile offender shall be required to carry any time such juvenile
offender is operating a motor vehicle on the streets and highways of this state. Any such
order shall prescribe the duration of the conditions imposed and shall specify that such
duration shall be for a definite time period to be determined by the court. Upon entering
an order restricting a juvenile offender's license hereunder, the court shall require such
juvenile offender to surrender such juvenile offender's driver's license to the court. The
court shall transmit the license to the division of vehicles, together with a copy of the order.
Upon receipt thereof, the division of vehicles shall issue without charge a driver's license
which shall indicate on its face that conditions have been imposed on such juvenile offender's
privilege of operating a motor vehicle and that a certified copy of the order imposing such
conditions is required to be carried by the juvenile offender for whom the license was issued
any time such juvenile offender is operating a motor vehicle on the streets and highways of
this state. If the juvenile offender is a nonresident, the court shall cause a copy of the order
to be transmitted to the division and the division shall forward a copy of it to the motor
vehicle administrator of such juvenile offender's state of residence. Such court shall furnish
to any juvenile offender whose driver's license has had conditions imposed on it under this
section a copy of the order, which shall be recognized as a valid Kansas driver's license until
such time as the division shall issue the restricted license provided for in this subsection.
Upon expiration of the period of time for which conditions are imposed pursuant to this
subsection, the licensee may apply to the division for the return of the license previously
surrendered by such licensee. In the event such license has expired, such juvenile offender
may apply to the division for a new license, which shall be issued immediately by the division
upon payment of the proper fee and satisfaction of the other conditions established by law,
unless such juvenile offender's privilege to operate a motor vehicle on the streets and high-
ways of this state has been suspended or revoked prior thereto. If any juvenile offender shall
violate any of the conditions imposed under this subsection, such juvenile offender's driver's
license or privilege to operate a motor vehicle on the streets and highways of this state shall
be revoked for a period as determined by the court in which such juvenile offender is
convicted of violating such conditions.
(d) Whenever a juvenile offender is placed pursuant to subsection (a)(1) or (2), the
court, unless it finds compelling circumstances which would render a plan of restitution
unworkable, shall order the juvenile offender to make restitution to persons who sustained
loss by reason of the offense. The restitution shall be made either by payment of an amount
fixed by the court or by working for the persons in order to compensate for the loss. If the
court finds compelling circumstances which would render a plan of restitution unworkable,
the court may order the juvenile offender to perform charitable or social service for organ-
izations performing services for the community.
Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to limit a court's authority to order a juvenile
offender to make restitution or perform charitable or social service under circumstances
other than those specified by this subsection or when placement is made pursuant to sub-
section (a)(3) or (4).
(e) In addition to or in lieu of any other order authorized by this section, the court may
order a juvenile offender to pay a fine not exceeding $250 for each offense. In determining
whether to impose a fine and the amount to be imposed, the court shall consider the
following:
(1) Imposition of a fine is most appropriate in cases where the juvenile offender has
derived pecuniary gain from the offense.
(2) The amount of the fine should be related directly to the seriousness of the juvenile
offender's offense and the juvenile offender's ability to pay.
(3) Payment of a fine may be required in a lump sum or installments.
(4) Imposition of a restitution order is preferable to imposition of a fine.
(5) The juvenile offender's duty of payment should be limited in duration and in no
event should the time necessary for payment exceed the maximum term which would be
authorized if the offense had been committed by an adult.
(f) In addition to or in lieu of any other order authorized by this section, if a juvenile is
adjudicated to be a juvenile offender by reason of a violation of K.S.A. 41-719, 41-727, 65-
4101 through 65-4164 or K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 8-1599, and amendments thereto, the court
shall order the juvenile offender to submit to and complete an alcohol and drug evaluation
by a community-based alcohol and drug safety action program certified pursuant to K.S.A.
8-1008, and amendments thereto, and to pay a fee not to exceed the fee established by that
statute for such evaluation. The court may waive such evaluation if the court finds that the
juvenile offender has completed successfully an alcohol and drug evaluation, approved by
the community-based alcohol and drug safety action program, within 12 months before
sentencing. If such evaluation occurred more than 12 months before sentencing, the court
shall order the juvenile offender to resubmit to and complete such evaluation and program
as provided herein. If the court finds that the juvenile offender and those legally liable for
the offender's support are indigent, the fee may be waived. In no event shall the fee be
assessed against the commissioner or the juvenile justice authority. The court may require
the parent or guardian of the juvenile offender to attend such program with the juvenile
offender.
(g) The board of county commissioners of a county may provide by resolution that the
parents or guardians of any juvenile offender placed under a house arrest program pursuant
to subsection (a)(9) shall be required to pay to the county the cost of such house arrest
program. The board of county commissioners shall prepare a sliding financial scale based
on the ability of the parents to pay for such a program.
(h) In addition to any other order authorized by this section, if child support has been
requested and the parent or parents have a duty to support the respondent the court may
order, and when custody is placed with the commissioner shall order, one or both parents
to pay child support. The court shall determine, for each parent separately, whether the
parent already is subject to an order to pay support for the respondent. If the parent cur-
rently is not ordered to pay support for the respondent and the court has personal jurisdic-
tion over the parent, the court shall order the parent to pay child support in an amount
determined under K.S.A. 38-16,117, and amendments thereto. Except for good cause
shown, the court shall issue an immediate income withholding order pursuant to K.S.A. 23-
4,105 et seq., and amendments thereto, for each parent ordered to pay support under this
subsection, regardless of whether a payor has been identified for the parent. A parent or-
dered to pay child support under this subsection shall be notified, at the hearing or other-
wise, that the child support order may be registered pursuant to K.S.A. 38-16,119, and
amendments thereto. The parent also shall be informed that, after registration, the income
withholding order may be served on the parent's employer without further notice to the
parent and the child support order may be enforced by any method allowed by law. Failure
to provide this notice shall not affect the validity of the child support order.
(i) Any order issued by the judge pursuant to this section shall be in effect immediately
upon entry into the court's journal.
(j) In addition to the requirements of K.S.A. 38-1671, and amendments thereto, if a
person is under 18 years of age and convicted of a felony or adjudicated as a juvenile offender
for an offense if committed by an adult would constitute the commission of a felony, the
court shall forward a signed copy of the journal entry to the commissioner within 30 days
of final disposition.
(k) The sentencing hearing shall be open to the public as provided in K.S.A. 38-1652,
