72-5445 and 74-5602
and repealing the existing sections.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Kansas:
Section 1. K.S.A. 2000 Supp.
12-4301 is hereby amended to read as
follows: 12-4301. A person having the right to post bond for
appearance
shall, in order to do so, execute in writing a promise to appear at
the
municipal court at a stated time and place. Such appearance bond
shall
be in an amount as determined by the municipal judge,
and. Unless the
judge makes a specific finding otherwise, every bond for a
person charged
with an offense that would be a person offense pursuant to state
law shall
have a condition of release prohibiting the person from having
contact
with the alleged victim of such offense for a period of at least
72 hours.
Such bond may be secured by any one of the following
methods, and
when so secured, such person shall be released from custody.
The methods of securing the appearance of an
accused person are as
follows:
(a) Payment of cash, except that the
municipal judge may permit
negotiable securities or a personal check in lieu of cash.
(b) The execution of an appearance bond
by a responsible individual
residing within the state of Kansas, as surety with the approval of
the
municipal judge.
(c) A guaranteed arrest bond certificate
issued by either a surety com-
pany authorized to transact such business within the state of
Kansas, or
an automobile club authorized to transact business in this state by
the
commissioner of insurance, except that such ``guaranteed arrest
bond cer-
tificate'' must be signed by the person to whom it is issued and
must
contain a printed statement that the surety guarantees the
appearance of
such person and, in the event of failure of such person to appear
in court
at the time of trial, will pay any fine or forfeiture imposed upon
such
person not to exceed an amount to be stated on such
certificate.
(d) In lieu of giving security in the
manner provided by subsections
(a), (b) and (c) above, if the arrest is for the violation of a
city ordinance
relating to the operation of a motor vehicle the accused person may
de-
posit with the arresting law enforcement officer or the clerk of
the mu-
nicipal court a valid Kansas driver's license in exchange for a
receipt there-
for issued by the law enforcement officer or the clerk of the
municipal
court, the form of which shall be approved by the division of
vehicles of
the state department of revenue. Such receipt shall be recognized
as a
valid temporary Kansas driver's license authorizing the operation
of a
motor vehicle by the accused person to the date of the hearing
stated on
the receipt. Such driver's license and written copy of the notice
to appear
shall be delivered by the law enforcement officer to the municipal
court
as soon as reasonably possible. If the hearing on any such charge
is con-
tinued for any reason, the municipal judge may note on the receipt
the
date to which such hearing has been continued, and such receipt
shall be
recognized as a valid temporary Kansas driver's license until such
date,
but in no event shall such receipt be recognized as a valid Kansas
driver's
license for a period longer than 30 days from the date for the
original
hearing. Any person who deposited a driver's license to secure such
per-
son's appearance, in lieu of giving a bond as provided in
subsections (a),
(b) and (c) above, shall have such driver's license returned upon
the giving
of the required bond pursuant to (a), (b) and (c) above or upon
final
determination of the charge.
In the event the accused person deposits a
valid Kansas driver's license
with the municipal court and fails to appear in court on the date
set for
appearance, or any continuance thereof, and in any event within 30
days
from the date set for the original hearing, the municipal judge
shall for-
ward the driver's license of such person to the division of
vehicles with
an appropriate explanation attached thereto. Upon receipt of the
driver's
license of such person the division of vehicles shall suspend such
person's
privilege to operate a motor vehicle in this state until such
person appears
before the municipal court, or the municipal court makes a final
dispo-
sition thereof, and notice of such disposition is given by the
municipal
court to the division, or for a period not exceeding six months
from the
date such person's driver's license is received by the division,
whichever
is earlier.
Any person who applies for a replacement or
new driver's license prior
to the return of such person's original license, when such license
has been
deposited in lieu of the giving of a bond as provided in this
section, shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable as set forth in K.S.A.
8-2116, and
amendments thereto.
Sec. 2. K.S.A. 22-2802 is hereby
amended to read as follows: 22-
2802. (1) Any person charged with a crime shall, at the person's
first
appearance before a magistrate, be ordered released pending
preliminary
examination or trial upon the execution of an appearance bond in
an
amount specified by the magistrate and sufficient to assure the
appear-
ance of such person before the magistrate when ordered and to
assure
the public safety. If the person is being bound over for a felony,
the bond
shall also be conditioned on the person's appearance in the
district court
or by way of a two-way electronic audio-video communication as
provided
in subsection (11) at the time required by the court to answer the
charge
against such person and at any time thereafter that the court
requires.
Unless the magistrate makes a specific finding otherwise, if the
person is
being bonded out for a person felony or a person misdemeanor,
the bond
shall be conditioned on the person being prohibited from having
any con-
tact with the alleged victim of such offense for a period of at
least 72
hours. The magistrate may impose such of the following
additional con-
ditions of release as will reasonably assure the appearance of the
person
for preliminary examination or trial:
(a) Place the person in the custody of a
designated person or organ-
ization agreeing to supervise such person;
(b) place restrictions on the travel,
association or place of abode of
the person during the period of release;
(c) impose any other condition deemed
reasonably necessary to as-
sure appearance as required, including a condition requiring that
the
person return to custody during specified hours;
or
(d) place the person under a house arrest
program pursuant to K.S.A.
21-4603b, and amendments thereto.;
or
(e) place the person under the
supervision of a court services officer
responsible for monitoring the person's compliance with any
conditions
of release ordered by the magistrate.
(2) In addition to any conditions of
release provided in subsection (1),
for any person charged with a felony, the magistrate may order
such
person to submit to a drug abuse examination and evaluation in a
public
or private treatment facility or state institution and, if
determined by the
head of such facility or institution that such person is a drug
abuser or
incapacitated by drugs, to submit to treatment for such drug abuse,
as a
condition of release.
(3) The appearance bond shall be executed
with sufficient solvent
sureties who are residents of the state of Kansas, unless the
magistrate
determines, in the exercise of such magistrate's discretion, that
requiring
sureties is not necessary to assure the appearance of the person at
the
time ordered.
(4) A deposit of cash in the amount of
the bond may be made in lieu
of the execution of the bond by sureties.
(5) In determining which conditions of
release will reasonably assure
appearance and the public safety, the magistrate shall, on the
basis of
available information, take into account the nature and
circumstances of
the crime charged; the weight of the evidence against the
defendant; the
defendant's family ties, employment, financial resources,
character, men-
tal condition, length of residence in the community, record of
convictions,
record of appearance or failure to appear at court proceedings or
of flight
to avoid prosecution; the likelihood or propensity of the defendant
to
commit crimes while on release, including whether the defendant
will be
likely to threaten, harass or cause injury to the victim of the
crime or any
witnesses thereto; and whether the defendant is on probation or
parole
from a previous offense at the time of the alleged commission of
the
subsequent offense.
(6) The appearance bond shall set forth
all of the conditions of re-
lease.
(7) A person for whom conditions of
release are imposed and who
continues to be detained as a result of the person's inability to
meet the
conditions of release shall be entitled, upon application, to have
the con-
ditions reviewed without unnecessary delay by the magistrate who
im-
posed them. If the magistrate who imposed conditions of release is
not
available, any other magistrate in the county may review such
conditions.
(8) A magistrate ordering the release of
a person on any conditions
specified in this section may at any time amend the order to
impose
additional or different conditions of release. If the imposition of
additional
or different conditions results in the detention of the person, the
provi-
sions of subsection (7) shall apply.
(9) Statements or information offered in
determining the conditions
of release need not conform to the rules of evidence. No statement
or
admission of the defendant made at such a proceeding shall be
received
as evidence in any subsequent proceeding against the defendant.
(10) The appearance bond and any security
required as a condition
of the defendant's release shall be deposited in the office of the
magistrate
or the clerk of the court where the release is ordered. If the
defendant
is bound to appear before a magistrate or court other than the one
or-
dering the release, the order of release, together with the bond
and se-
curity shall be transmitted to the magistrate or clerk of the court
before
whom the defendant is bound to appear.
(11) Proceedings before a magistrate as
provided in this section to
determine the release conditions of a person charged with a crime
in-
cluding release upon execution of an appearance bond may be
conducted
by two-way electronic audio-video communication between the
defend-
ant and the judge in lieu of personal presence of the defendant or
de-
fendant's counsel in the courtroom in the discretion of the court.
The
defendant may be accompanied by the defendant's counsel. The
defend-
ant shall be informed of the defendant's right to be personally
present in
the courtroom during such proceeding if the defendant so requests.
Ex-
ercising the right to be present shall in no way prejudice the
defendant.
(12) The magistrate may order the
person to pay for any costs asso-
ciated with the supervision of the conditions of release of the
appearance
bond in an amount not to exceed $5 per week of such
supervision.

itures by the county to provide counsel and other defense services
to the
defendant. Any such reimbursement to the county shall be paid only
after
any order for restitution has been paid in full. In determining the
amount
and method of payment of such sum, the court shall take account of
the
financial resources of the defendant and the nature of the burden
that
payment of such sum will impose. A defendant who has been
required
to pay such sum and who is not willfully in default in the payment
thereof
may at any time petition the court which sentenced the defendant
to
waive payment of such sum or any unpaid portion thereof. If it
appears
to the satisfaction of the court that payment of the amount due
will im-
pose manifest hardship on the defendant or the defendant's
immediate
family, the court may waive payment of all or part of the amount
due or
modify the method of payment.
(e) In imposing a fine the court
may authorize the payment thereof
in installments. In releasing a defendant on probation, the court
shall
direct that the defendant be under the supervision of a court
services
officer. If the court commits the defendant to the custody of the
secretary
of corrections or to jail, the court may specify in its order the
amount of
restitution to be paid and the person to whom it shall be paid if
restitution
is later ordered as a condition of parole or conditional
release.
(f) When a new felony is committed
while the offender is incarcerated
and serving a sentence for a felony or while the offender is on
probation,
assignment to a community correctional services program, parole,
con-
ditional release, or postrelease supervision for a felony, a new
sentence
shall be imposed pursuant to the consecutive sentencing
requirements of
K.S.A. 21-4608, and amendments thereto, and the court may
sentence
the offender to imprisonment for the new conviction, even when the
new
crime of conviction otherwise presumes a nonprison sentence. In
this
event, imposition of a prison sentence for the new crime does not
con-
stitute a departure. When a new felony is committed while the
offender
is on release for a felony pursuant to the provisions of article 28
of chapter
22 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated, a new sentence may be
imposed
pursuant to the consecutive sentencing requirements of K.S.A.
21-4608
and amendments thereto, and the court may sentence the offender
to
imprisonment for the new conviction, even when the new crime of
con-
viction otherwise presumes a nonprison sentence. In this event,
imposi-
tion of a prison sentence for the new crime does not constitute a
depar-
ture.
(g) Prior to imposing a
dispositional departure for a defendant whose
offense is classified in the presumptive nonprison grid block of
either
sentencing guideline grid, prior to sentencing a defendant to
incarceration
whose offense is classified in grid blocks 5-H, 5-I or 6-G of the
sentencing
guidelines grid for nondrug crimes or in grid blocks 3-E, 3-F, 3-G,
3-H,
3-I, 4-E or 4-F of the sentencing guidelines grid for drug crimes,
or prior
to revocation of a nonprison sanction of a defendant whose offense
is
classified in the presumptive nonprison grid block of either
sentencing
guideline grid or grid blocks 5-H, 5-I or 6-G of the sentencing
guidelines
grid for nondrug crimes or in grid blocks 3-E, 3-F, 3-G, 3-H, 3-I,
4-E or
4-F of the sentencing guidelines grid for drug crimes, the court
shall
consider placement of the defendant in the Labette correctional
conser-
vation camp, conservation camps established by the secretary of
correc-
tions pursuant to K.S.A. 75-52,127, and amendment thereto or a
com-
munity intermediate sanction center. Pursuant to this paragraph
the
defendant shall not be sentenced to imprisonment if space is
available in
a conservation camp or a community intermediate sanction center
and
the defendant meets all of the conservation camp's or a community
in-
termediate sanction center's placement criteria unless the court
states on
the record the reasons for not placing the defendant in a
conservation
camp or a community intermediate sanction center.
(h) The court in committing a
defendant to the custody of the sec-
retary of corrections shall fix a term of confinement within the
limits
provided by law. In those cases where the law does not fix a term
of
confinement for the crime for which the defendant was convicted,
the
court shall fix the term of such confinement.
(i) In addition to any of the
above, the court shall order the defendant
to reimburse the state general fund for all or a part of the
expenditures
by the state board of indigents' defense services to provide
counsel and
other defense services to the defendant. In determining the amount
and
method of payment of such sum, the court shall take account of
the
financial resources of the defendant and the nature of the burden
that
payment of such sum will impose. A defendant who has been
required
to pay such sum and who is not willfully in default in the payment
thereof
may at any time petition the court which sentenced the defendant
to
waive payment of such sum or any unpaid portion thereof. If it
appears
to the satisfaction of the court that payment of the amount due
will im-
pose manifest hardship on the defendant or the defendant's
immediate
family, the court may waive payment of all or part of the amount
due or
modify the method of payment. The amount of attorney fees to be
in-
cluded in the court order for reimbursement shall be the amount
claimed
by appointed counsel on the payment voucher for indigents' defense
serv-
ices or the amount prescribed by the board of indigents' defense
services
reimbursement tables as provided in K.S.A. 22-4522, and
amendments
thereto, whichever is less.
(b)
(j) Dispositions which do not involve commitment to the
custody
of the secretary of corrections shall not entail the loss by the
defendant
of any civil rights. Placement of offenders in a conservation camp
estab-
lished by the secretary of corrections pursuant to K.S.A.
75-52,127, and
amendments thereto, as a nonimprisonment disposition shall not
entail
the loss by the defendant of any civil rights.
(c) (k) This
section shall not deprive the court of any authority con-
ferred by any other Kansas statute to decree a forfeiture of
property,
suspend or cancel a license, remove a person from office, or impose
any
other civil penalty as a result of conviction of crime.
(d) (l) An
application for or acceptance of probation or assignment to
a community correctional services program shall not constitute an
acqui-
escence in the judgment for purpose of appeal, and any convicted
person
may appeal from such conviction, as provided by law, without regard
to
whether such person has applied for probation, suspended sentence
or
assignment to a community correctional services program.
(e) (m) The
secretary of corrections is authorized to make direct
placement to the Labette correctional conservation camp or a
conserva-
tion camp established by the secretary pursuant to K.S.A.
75-52,127, and
amendments thereto, of an inmate sentenced to the secretary's
custody
if the inmate: (1) Has been sentenced to the secretary for a
probation
revocation, as a departure from the presumptive nonimprisonment
grid
block of either sentencing grid, or for an offense which is
classified in
grid blocks 5-H, 5-I, or 6-G of the sentencing guidelines grid for
nondrug
crimes or in grid blocks 3-E, 3-F, 3-G, 3-H, 3-I, 4-E, or 4-F of
the sen-
tencing guidelines grid for drug crimes; and (2) otherwise meets
admis-
sion criteria of the camp. If the inmate successfully completes a
conser-
vation camp program, the secretary of corrections shall report
such
completion to the sentencing court and the county or district
attorney.
The inmate shall then be assigned by the court to six months of
follow-
up supervision conducted by the appropriate community corrections
serv-
ices program. The court may also order that supervision continue
there-
after for the length of time authorized by K.S.A. 21-4611 and
amendments thereto.
(f) (n) When it
is provided by law that a person shall be sentenced
pursuant to K.S.A. 1993 Supp. 21-4628, prior to its repeal, the
provisions
of this section shall not apply.
Sec. 9. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 21-4704
is hereby amended to read as
follows: 21-4704. (a) For purposes of sentencing, the following
sentencing
guidelines grid for nondrug crimes shall be applied in felony cases
for
crimes committed on or after July 1, 1993:
(b) The provisions of this section shall
be applicable to the sentencing
guidelines grid for nondrug crimes. Sentences expressed in such
grid
represent months of imprisonment.
(c) The sentencing guidelines grid is a
two-dimensional crime severity
and criminal history classification tool. The grid's vertical axis
is the crime
severity scale which classifies current crimes of conviction. The
grid's
horizontal axis is the criminal history scale which classifies
criminal his-
tories.
(d) The sentencing guidelines grid for
nondrug crimes as provided in
this section defines presumptive punishments for felony
convictions, sub-
ject to judicial discretion to deviate for substantial and
compelling reasons
and impose a different sentence in recognition of aggravating and
miti-
gating factors as provided in this act. The appropriate punishment
for a
felony conviction should depend on the severity of the crime of
conviction
when compared to all other crimes and the offender's criminal
history.
(e) (1) The sentencing court has
discretion to sentence at any place
within the sentencing range. The sentencing judge shall select the
center
of the range in the usual case and reserve the upper and lower
limits for
aggravating and mitigating factors insufficient to warrant a
departure.
(2) In presumptive imprisonment cases,
the sentencing court shall
pronounce the complete sentence which shall include the prison
sen-
tence, the maximum potential reduction to such sentence as a result
of
good time and the period of postrelease supervision at the
sentencing
hearing. Failure to pronounce the period of postrelease supervision
shall
not negate the existence of such period of postrelease
supervision.
(3) In presumptive nonprison cases, the
sentencing court shall pro-
nounce the prison sentence as well as the duration of the nonprison
sanc-
tion at the sentencing hearing.
(f) Each grid block states the
presumptive sentencing range for an
offender whose crime of conviction and criminal history place such
of-
fender in that grid block. If an offense is classified in a grid
block below
the dispositional line, the presumptive disposition shall be
nonimprison-
ment. If an offense is classified in a grid block above the
dispositional
line, the presumptive disposition shall be imprisonment. If an
offense is
classified in grid blocks 5-H, 5-I or 6-G, the court may impose an
optional
nonprison sentence upon making the following findings on the
record:
(1) An appropriate treatment program
exists which is likely to be
more effective than the presumptive prison term in reducing the
risk of
offender recidivism; and
(2) the recommended treatment program is
available and the of-
fender can be admitted to such program within a reasonable period
of
time; or
(3) the nonprison sanction will serve
community safety interests by
promoting offender reformation.
Any decision made by the court regarding the
imposition of an optional
nonprison sentence if the offense is classified in grid blocks 5-H,
5-I or
6-G shall not be considered a departure and shall not be subject to
appeal.
(g) The sentence for the violation of
K.S.A. 21-3411, and amendments
thereto, aggravated assault against a law enforcement
officer or K.S.A. 21-
3415, and amendments thereto, aggravated battery against a
law enforce-
ment officer and amendments thereto which places the defendant's
sen-
tence in grid block 6-H or 6-I shall be presumed imprisonment. The
court
may impose an optional nonprison sentence upon making a finding
on
the record that the nonprison sanction will serve community safety
in-
terests by promoting offender reformation. Any decision made by
the
court regarding the imposition of the optional nonprison sentence,
if the
offense is classified in grid block 6-H or 6-I, shall not be
considered
departure and shall not be subject to appeal.
(h) When a firearm is used to commit any
person felony, the of-
fender's sentence shall be presumed imprisonment. The court may
im-
pose an optional nonprison sentence upon making a finding on the
record
that the nonprison sanction will serve community safety interests
by pro-
moting offender reformation. Any decision made by the court
regarding
the imposition of the optional nonprison sentence shall not be
considered
a departure and shall not be subject to appeal.
(i) The sentence for the violation of the
felony provision of K.S.A. 8-
1567 and subsection (c)(3) of K.S.A. 21-3412
(b)(3) of section 5 and
amendments thereto shall be as provided by the specific mandatory
sen-
tencing requirements of that section and shall not be subject to
the pro-
visions of this section or K.S.A. 21-4707 and amendments thereto.
Not-
withstanding the provisions of any other section, the term of
imprisonment imposed for the violation of the felony provision of
K.S.A.
8-1567 and subsection (c)(3) of K.S.A. 21-3412
(b)(3) of section 5 and
amendments thereto shall not be served in a state facility in the
custody
of the secretary of corrections.
(j) The sentence for any persistent sex
offender whose current con-
victed crime carries a presumptive term of imprisonment shall be
double
the maximum duration of the presumptive imprisonment term. The
sen-
tence for any persistent sex offender whose current conviction
carries a
presumptive nonprison term shall be presumed imprisonment and
shall
be double the maximum duration of the presumptive imprisonment
term.
Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, as used in this
subsection,
``persistent sex offender'' means a person who: (1) Has been
convicted in
this state of a sexually violent crime, as defined in K.S.A.
22-3717 and
amendments thereto; and (2) at the time of the conviction under
subsec-
tion (1) has at least one conviction for a sexually violent crime,
as defined
in K.S.A. 22-3717 and amendments thereto in this state or
comparable
felony under the laws of another state, the federal government or a
for-
eign government. The provisions of this subsection shall not apply
to any
person whose current convicted crime is a severity level 1 or 2
felony.
(k) If it is shown at sentencing that the
offender committed any felony
violation for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in
association with any
criminal street gang, with the specific intent to promote, further
or assist
in any criminal conduct by gang members, the offender's sentence
shall
be presumed imprisonment. Any decision made by the court
regarding
the imposition of the optional nonprison sentence shall not be
considered
a departure and shall not be subject to appeal. As used in this
subsection,
``criminal street gang'' means any organization, association or
group of
three or more persons, whether formal or informal, having as one of
its
primary activities the commission of one or more person felonies or
felony
violations of the uniform controlled substances act, K.S.A. 65-4101
et seq.,
and amendments thereto, which has a common name or common iden-
tifying sign or symbol, whose members, individually or collectively
engage
in or have engaged in the commission, attempted commission,
conspiracy
to commit or solicitation of two or more person felonies or felony
viola-
tions of the uniform controlled substances act, K.S.A. 65-4101
et seq., and
amendments thereto, or any substantially similar offense from
another
jurisdiction.
(l) The sentence for a violation of
subsection (a) of K.S.A. 21-3715
and amendments thereto when such person being sentenced has a
prior
conviction for a violation of subsection (a) or (b) of K.S.A.
21-3715 or 21-
3716 and amendments thereto shall be presumed imprisonment.
Sec. 10. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 60-3107
is hereby amended to read as
follows: 60-3107. (a) The court shall be empowered to approve any
con-
sent agreement to bring about a cessation of abuse of the plaintiff
or
minor children or grant any of the following orders:
(1) Restraining the parties from abusing,
molesting or interfering
with the privacy or rights of each other or of any minor children
of the
parties. Such order shall contain a statement that if such order is
violated,
such violation may constitute assault as provided in K.S.A.
21-3408, and
amendments thereto, battery as provided in K.S.A. 21-3412, and
amend-
ments thereto, domestic battery as provided in section 5, and
amendments
thereto and violation of a protective order as provided in
K.S.A. 2000
Supp. 21-3843, and amendments thereto.
(2) Granting possession of the residence
or household to a party to
the exclusion of the other party, and further restraining the party
not
granted possession from entering or remaining upon or in such
residence
or household, subject to the limitation of subsection (c). Such
order shall
contain a statement that if such order is violated, such violation
shall
constitute criminal trespass as provided in subsection (c) of
K.S.A. 21-
3721, and amendments thereto, and violation of a protective order
as
provided in K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 21-3843, and amendments thereto.
The
court may grant an order, which shall expire 60 days following the
date
of issuance, restraining the party not granted possession from
cancelling
utility service to the residence or household.
(3) Requiring a party to provide
suitable, alternate housing for such
party's spouse and any minor children of the parties.
(4) Awarding temporary custody and
residency and establishing tem-
porary parenting time with regard to minor children.
(5) Ordering a law enforcement officer to
evict a party from the res-
idence or household.
(6) Ordering support payments by a party

the
plaintiff, the court may extend the effect of such order for 12
months.
(7) Awarding costs and attorney fees to

tem-
porary orders in any action filed pursuant to K.S.A. 60-1601 et
seq., or
K.S.A. 38-1101 et seq., and amendments thereto. Orders
previously issued
in an action filed pursuant to K.S.A. 60-1601 et seq., or
K.S.A. 38-1101
et seq., and amendments thereto, shall be subject to
modification under
the protection from abuse act only as to those matters subject to
modi-
fication by the terms of K.S.A. 60-1610 et seq., and
amendments thereto,
and on sworn testimony to support a showing of good cause.
Immediate
and present danger of abuse to the plaintiff or minor children
shall con-
stitute good cause. If an action is filed pursuant to K.S.A.
60-1610 et seq.,
or K.S.A. 38-1101 et seq., and amendments thereto, during
the pendency
of a proceeding filed under the protection from abuse act or while
an
order issued under the protection from abuse act is in effect, the
court,
on final hearing or on agreement of the parties, may issue final
orders
authorized by K.S.A. 60-1610 and amendments thereto, that are
incon-
sistent with orders entered under the protection from abuse act.
Any
inconsistent order entered pursuant to this subsection shall be
specific in
its terms, reference the protection from abuse order and parts
thereof
being modified and a copy thereof shall be filed in both actions.
The court
shall consider whether the actions should be consolidated in
accordance
with K.S.A. 60-242 and amendments thereto.
(c) If the parties to an action under the
protection from abuse act are
not married to each other and one party owns the residence or
household,
the court shall not have the authority to grant possession of the
residence
or household under subsection (a)(2) to the exclusion of the party
who
owns it.
(d) Subject to the provisions of
subsections (b) and (c), a protective
order or approved consent agreement shall remain in effect until
modified
or dismissed by the court and shall be for a fixed period of time
not to
exceed one year, except that, on motion of the plaintiff, such
period may
be extended for one additional year.
(e) The court may amend its order or
agreement at any time upon
motion filed by either party.
(f) No order or agreement under the
protection from abuse act shall
in any manner affect title to any real property.
(g) If a person enters or remains on
premises or property violating
an order issued pursuant to subsection (a)(2), such violation shall
consti-
tute criminal trespass as provided in subsection (c) of K.S.A.
21-3721, and
amendments thereto, and violation of a protective order as provided
in
K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 21-3843, and amendments thereto. If a person
abuses,
molests or interferes with the privacy or rights of another

order issued pursuant to subsection (a)(1), such violation may
constitute
assault as provided in K.S.A. 21-3408, and amendments thereto,
battery
as provided in K.S.A. 21-3412, and amendments thereto, domestic
battery
as provided in section 5, and amendments thereto, and
