Journal of the Senate

FORTY-EIGHTH DAY ______

Senate Chamber, Topeka, Kansas

Friday, March 19, 1999--9:00 a.m.

The Senate was called to order by Vice-President Alicia L. Salisbury.

The roll was called with thirty-five senators present.

Senators Hardenburger, Hensley, Praeger, Salmans and Steineger were excused.

Invocation by Chaplain Fred S. Hollomon:

Heavenly Father,

Can one still make a difference?

They believed they'd make a difference

The first time that they ran.

There were things that needed changing,

And they came here with a plan.

But it only took one session

For reality to set in.

They only have one vote to cast,

And it takes twenty-one to win.

And even if both houses pass,

The Governor may not like it,

And it only takes one stroke

Of his veto pen to strike it.

But hopefully the shock wears off

And they come to realize

That numbers don't always measure

One person's influence size.

How they conduct themselves

Has a lot to do

With how much influence they will have

Before their term is through.

Maintaining their integrity

Wins them great respect,

And makes their single vote

Have much more effect.

And then when they begin to see

The power of prayer unfold,

The impact of their influence

Is something to behold!

So don't let them get discouraged, Lord,

Show them what they can do...

How one can make a difference

When that one connects with YOU!

I pray in the Name of Christ,

AMEN

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION memorializing the Congress of the United States to
authorize the placement in Statuary Hall of a statue of Dwight David Eisenhower in
lieu of George W. Glick and encouraging the Eisenhower Foundation, Inc. to organize
and direct funding for creation of a statue of Dwight David Eisenhower for placement
in Statuary Hall.

WHEREAS, By act of Congress, each state is invited to provide and furnish statues, not
exceeding two in number, of deceased persons who have been citizens thereof and illustrious
for their historic renown or for distinguished civic or military services, such as the state shall
determine to be worthy of national commemoration in a national statuary hall; and

WHEREAS, The state of Kansas has had one citizen, Dwight David Eisenhower, who
stands alone in the history of this state in achievement of a distinguished career in both the
civic and military services, a man whose destiny led him from a boyhood home in Abilene,
Kansas, to lead the armies of his nation and those of the free world in one of the greatest
and most historic military engagements of all time and to lead the people of his nation in
peace as the 34th president of the United States; and

WHEREAS, Dwight David Eisenhower, citizen of Kansas, General of the Army,
President of the United States and honored and respected friend of presidents, kings and
leaders and peoples of the free world is eminently worthy of national commemoration in a
national statuary hall; and

WHEREAS, The state of Kansas in years past did provide for the placing of two statues
of distinguished citizens of Kansas in statuary hall; and

WHEREAS, One of such statues is of the Honorable George W. Glick, a man who
although he did not hold national office or win national or international acclaim, was a most
honored and distinguished governor and legislative and civic leader in the state of Kansas;
and

WHEREAS, Governor Glick can best be honored by locating his statue in a place of
honor in the capitol of the state of Kansas where it may be enjoyed by our citizens and
visitors; and

WHEREAS, The people of the state of Kansas wish to furnish a statue of Dwight David
Eisenhower for placement in Statuary Hall in the capitol of this nation, with such statue
hopefully being provided by the citizens of the state of Kansas through the efforts of the
Eisenhower Foundation, Inc.; and

WHEREAS, The creation of the statue of Dwight David Eisenhower depends upon the
willingness of the trustees of the Eisenhower Foundation, Inc. to organize a solicitation
through appropriate representatives of the civic, fraternal and patriotic organizations of this
state and the handling by such trustees of the funds so solicited; and

WHEREAS, A suitable statue of Dwight David Eisenhower must be created by a gifted
and experienced sculptor who should be chosen by a committee of select persons suitably
qualified to recommend the selection of such sculptor, and the trustees of the Eisenhower
Foundation should name such a select commission; and

WHEREAS, When an appropriate sculptor has been selected to create the statue of
Dwight David Eisenhower, the trustees of the Eisenhower Foundation, Inc. would be
suitable to contract with the sculptor with funds obtained as indicated in this preamble for
the creation of such a statue; and

WHEREAS, When the statue of Dwight David Eisenhower is completed, necessary
plans need to be made and action needs to be taken to transport the statue to Washington,
D.C. for installation in Statuary Hall and for the return of Governor Glick's statue to Kansas
for installation in the state capitol in Topeka; and

WHEREAS, Should the Eisenhower Foundation, Inc. be unable or unwilling to perform
the functions described in this preamble, the responsibility for the creation and installation
of the statue of Dwight David Eisenhower should be assumed by the Kansas Department
of Commerce and Housing: Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate of the State of Kansas, the House of Representatives concurring
therein: That the legislature of the state of Kansas respectfully requests that the Congress
of the United States return the statue of George W. Glick earlier presented by the state of
Kansas for placement in Statuary Hall and accept in return, for placement in Statuary Hall,
a statue of Dwight David Eisenhower, a citizen of the free world, and worthy of national
commemoration in Statuary Hall; and

Be it further resolved: That the legislature of the state of Kansas, on behalf of the people
of this state and on behalf of this state itself, respectfully requests the trustees of the
Eisenhower Foundation, Inc. to appoint a commission of representatives of civic, fraternal
and patriotic organizations of this state, and to convey to such commission a charge to
organize a solicitation for funds for the creation of a statue of Dwight David Eisenhower as
contemplated by this resolution. Such trustees are further requested to provide management
assistance to such commission and to receive and employ the funds so obtained to acquire
such statue for placement in Statuary Hall in the capitol of this nation. Such trustees are
further requested to appoint a committee of persons suitably qualified to select a gifted and
experienced sculptor to create a suitable statue of Dwight David Eisenhower. Such trustees
are further requested to contract with such sculptor with funds obtained as indicated in this
resolution for the creation of such statue. Thereupon such trustees are further requested to
make the statue so created of Dwight David Eisenhower available for placement in Statuary
hall, the same to then be owned by the Congress of the United States; and

Be it further resolved: That should the efforts of the Eisenhower Foundation, Inc. and
the commission of representatives of civic, fraternal and patriotic organizations of this state
be unable to fulfill the object of this resolution, the Kansas Department of Commerce and
Housing is tasked to take action ultimately providing a statue of Dwight David Eisenhower
for placement in Statuary Hall; and

Be it further resolved: That the cost of the creation of the statue of Dwight David
Eisenhower, as well as the costs for transporting the statue of Dwight David Eisenhower to
Washington, D.C. and transporting the statue of Governor Glick to the state capitol in
Topeka, plus incidental costs for installation of statues in their permanent locations and the
essential costs of any unveiling ceremonies should be borne by the state of Kansas through
the use of private or public funds; and

Be it further resolved: That the secretary of state is directed to transmit enrolled copies
of this resolution to the President of the Senate of the United States, the Speaker of the
House of Representatives of the United States, each member of the Kansas delegation in

another state, which is properly registered and licensed in the state of residence of the
owner or in the state where based, may be operated in this state without being registered
or licensed in this state if the truck or truck tractor propelling the same is properly registered
and licensed in this state, or is registered and licensed in some other state and is entitled to
reciprocal privileges of operation in this state, but this provision shall not apply to any trailer
or semitrailer owned by a nonresident of this state when such trailer or semitrailer is owned
by a person who has proportionately registered and licensed a fleet of vehicles under the
provisions of K.S.A. 8-1,101 to 8-1,123, inclusive, and amendments thereto, or under the
terms of any reciprocal or proration agreement made pursuant thereto.

At the option of the owner, any trailer, semitrailer or pole trailer, with a gross weight of
more than 12,000 pounds, may be issued a multi-year registration for a five-year period
upon payment of the appropriate registration fee. The fee for a five-year registration of such
trailer shall be five times the annual fee for such trailer. If the annual registration fee is
increased during the multi-year registration period, the owner of the trailer with such multi-
year registration shall be subject to the amount of the increase of the annual registration
fee for the remaining calendar years of such multi-year registration. When the owner of any
trailer, semitrailer or pole trailer registered under this multi-year provision transfers or
assigns the title, or interest thereto, the registration of such trailer shall expire. The owner
shall remove the license plate from such trailer and forward the license plate to the division
of vehicles or may have such license plate assigned to another trailer, semitrailer or pole
trailer upon the payment of fees required by law. Any owner of a trailer, semitrailer or pole
trailer where the multi-year registration fee has been paid and the trailer is sold, junked,
repossessed, foreclosed by a mechanic's lien or title transferred by operation of law, and the
registration thereon is not going to be transferred to another trailer, may secure a refund
for the registration fee for the remaining calendar years by making application to the division
of vehicles on a form and in the manner prescribed by the director of vehicles. The secretary
of revenue may adopt such rules and regulations necessary to implement the multi-year
registration of such trailers, semitrailers and pole trailers.

A farm trailer used in carrying not more than 6,000 pounds owned by a person engaged
in farming, which trailer is used exclusively by the owner to transport agricultural products
produced by such owner or commodities purchased by the owner for use on the farm owned
or rented by the owner of such trailer, shall not be subject to the registration and registration
fees prescribed by this act for trailers, and the weight of any such farm trailer, plus the cargo
weight of 6,000 pounds or less, shall not be considered in determining the gross weight for
which the truck or truck tractor propelling the same shall be registered. Any nonself-
propelled vehicle used and designed for applying fertilizers to the soil or for picking up and
transporting hay or forage from a field to a storage area or from a storage area to a feedlot,
which is only incidentally moved or operated upon the highways, shall not be subject to
registration and registration fees prescribed by this act for trailers.

(b) Any truck or truck tractor having a gross weight of 4,000 pounds or over, using solid
tires, shall pay a license fee of double the amount herein charged. The annual fees herein
provided for trucks, truck tractors and trailers not subject to K.S.A. 8-134a, and amendments
thereto, shall be due January 1 of each year and payable on or before February 15 in each
year. If the fee is not paid by such date a penalty of $1 shall be added to the fee charged
herein for each month or fraction thereof and until December 31 of each registration year.
The annual registration fee for all passenger vehicles and vehicles subject to K.S.A. 8-134a,
and amendments thereto, shall be due on or before the last day of the month in which the
registration plate expires and shall be due for other vehicles as provided by K.S.A. 8-134,
and amendments thereto. If the registration fee is not paid by such date a penalty of $1
shall be added to the fee charged herein for each month or fraction thereof until such
registration fee is paid. Members of the armed forces of the United States shall be permitted
to apply for registration at any time and be subject to registration fee, less penalties,
applicable at the time the application is made. If any motorcycle, motorized bicycle, trailer,
semitrailer, travel trailer, or pole trailer is either purchased or acquired after the anniversary
or renewal date in any registration year there shall immediately become due and payable a
registration fee as follows: If purchased or acquired between the anniversary or renewal
date of any registration year and the first six months of such registration year, the annual
fee hereinbefore provided; if purchased or acquired during the last six months of any
registration year, 50% of such annual fee. If any truck or truck tractor, except trucks subject
to K.S.A. 8-134a, and amendments thereto, is purchased or acquired prior to April 1 of any
year the fee shall be the annual fee hereinbefore provided, but if such truck or truck tractor
is purchased or acquired after the end of March of any year, the license fee for such year
shall be reduced 1/12 for each calendar month which has elapsed since the beginning of the
year. If any truck registered for a gross weight of 12,000 pounds or less or passenger vehicle
is purchased or acquired and less than 12 months remain in the registration period, the fee
shall be 1/12 of the annual fee for each calendar month remaining in the registration period.

(c) The owner of any motorcycle, motorized bicycle, passenger vehicle, truck, truck
tractor, trailer, semitrailer, or electrically propelled vehicle who fails to pay the registration
fee or fees herein provided on the date when the same become due and payable shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be subject to a penalty in the
sum of $1 for each month or fraction thereof during which such fee has remained unpaid
after it became due and payable; and in addition thereto shall be subject to such other
punishment as is provided in this act. Upon the transfer of motorcycles, motorized bicycles,
passenger vehicles, trailers, semitrailers, trucks or truck tractors, on which registration fees
have been paid for the year in which the transfer is made, either (A) to a corporation by
one or more persons, solely in exchange for stock or securities in such corporation, or (B)
by one corporation to another corporation when all of the assets of such corporation are
transferred to the other corporation, then in either case (A) or case (B) the corporation shall
be exempt from the payment of registration fees on such vehicles for the year in which such
transfer is made. Applications for transfer or registration shall be accompanied by a fee of
$1.50. When the registration of a vehicle has expired at midnight on the last day of any
registration year, and such vehicle is not thereafter operated upon the highways, any
application for renewal of registration made subsequent to the anniversary or renewal date
of any registration year following the expiration of such registration and for succeeding
registration years in which such vehicle has not been registered shall be accompanied by an
affidavit of nonoperation and nonuse, and such application for renewal or registration shall
be received by the division of vehicles upon payment of the proper fees for the current
registration year and without penalty.

(3) Any nonresident of Kansas purchasing a vehicle from a Kansas resident and desiring
to secure registration on the vehicle in the state of such person's residence may make
application in the office of any county treasurer for a thirty-day temporary registration. The
county treasurer upon presentation of evidence of ownership in the applicant and evidence
the sales tax has been paid, if due, shall charge and collect a fee of $3 $4 for each thirty-
day temporary license and issue a sticker or paper registration as may be determined by the
director of vehicles, and the registration so issued shall be valid for a period of 30 days from
the date of issuance.

(4) Any owner of any motor vehicle which is subject to taxation under the provisions of
article 51 of chapter 79 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated or any other truck or truck tractor
where the annual registration fee has been paid and the vehicle is sold, junked, repossessed,
foreclosed by a mechanic's lien or title transferred by operation of law, and the registration
thereon is not going to be transferred to another vehicle may secure a refund for the
registration fee for the remaining portion of the year by making application to the division
of vehicles on a form and in the manner prescribed by the director of vehicles, accompanied
by all license plates and attachments issued in connection therewith. If the owner of the
registration becomes deceased and the vehicle is not going to be used on the highway, and
title is not being currently transferred, the proper representative of the estate shall be
entitled to the refund. The refund shall be made only for the period of time remaining in
the registration year from the date of completion and filing of the application with and
delivery of the license plate and attachments to the division of vehicles. Where the
registration is secured under a quarterly payment annual registration fee, as provided for in
K.S.A. 8-143a, and amendments thereto, such refund shall be made on the quarterly fee
paid and unused and all remaining quarterly payments shall be canceled. Any truck or truck
tractor having the registration fee paid on quarterly payment basis, all quarterly payments
due or a fraction of quarterly payment due shall be paid before title may be transferred,
except that in case of death, the filing of the application and returning of the license plate
and attachment shall cancel the remaining annual payments due. Whenever a truck or truck
tractor, where the registration is secured on a quarterly payment of the annual registration,
the one repossessing the truck or truck tractor, or foreclosing by a mechanic's lien, or
securing title by court order, the mortgagor or the assigns of the mortgagor, or the one
securing title may pay the balance due on date of application for title, but the payments for
the remaining portion of the year shall not be canceled unless application is made and the
license plate and attachments are surrendered. Nothing in this subsection shall apply when
registration is secured under the provisions of K.S.A. 8-1,101 to 8-1,123, inclusive, and
amendments thereto. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this section, no
refund shall be made under the provisions of this section where the amount thereof does
not exceed $5. The division of vehicles shall furnish such blank forms as may be required
under the provisions of this subsection as it deems necessary to be completed by the
applicant. Whenever a registration which has been secured on a quarterly basis shall be
canceled as provided in this subsection, the division of vehicles shall notify the county
treasurer issuing the original registration of such cancellation so that the county treasurer
may, and the county treasurer shall cancel the registration of such vehicle in the county
treasurer's office and release any lien issued in connection with such registration.

(5) Every owner of a travel trailer designed for or intended to be moved upon any
highway in this state shall, before the same is so moved, apply for and obtain the proper
registration thereof as provided in this act, except when such unit is permitted to be moved
under the special provisions relating to secured parties, manufacturers, dealers and
nonresidents contained in this act. At the time of registering any travel trailer for the purpose
of moving any such vehicle upon any highway in this state, the owner thereof shall indicate
on the registration form whether or not such vehicle is being moved permanently to a
location outside of the county in which such vehicle is being registered. No such vehicle
which the owner thereof intends to move to a permanent location outside the boundaries
of such county shall be registered for movement on the highways of this state until all taxes
levied against such vehicle have been paid. A copy of such registration form shall be sent
to the county clerk or assessor of the county to which such vehicle is being moved. When
such travel trailer is used for living quarters and not operated on the highways, the owner
shall be exempt from the license fees as provided in paragraph (a) of subsection (2) so long
as such travel trailer is not operated on the highway.
