terly, in lieu of using inspection fee stamps, may make application to the

days after the due date, or if the report of quantity is false, the secretary
may revoke the permit. In addition to the inspection fee there may be
assessed against the permit holder a penalty of $5 per day for each day

follows: 8-116a. (a) When an application is made for a vehicle which has
been assembled, reconstructed, reconstituted or restored from one or
more vehicles, or the proper identification number of a vehicle is in doubt,
the procedure in this section shall be followed. The owner of the vehicle
shall request the Kansas highway patrol to check the vehicle. At the time
of such check the owner shall supply the highway patrol with information
concerning the history of the various parts of the vehicle. Such informa-
tion shall be supplied by affidavit of the owner, if so requested by the
highway patrol. If the highway patrol is satisfied that the vehicle contains
no stolen parts, it shall assign an existing or new identification number to
the vehicle and direct the places and manner in which the identification
number is to be located and affixed or implanted. A charge of $10 per
hour or part thereof, with a minimum charge of $10, shall be made to
the owner of a vehicle requesting check under this subsection, and such
charge shall be paid prior to the check under this section. When a check
has been made under subsection (b), not more than 60 days prior to a
check of the same vehicle identification number, requested by the owner
of the vehicle to obtain a regular certificate of title in lieu of a nonhighway
certificate of title or obtain a rebuilt salvage title in lieu of a salvage title,
no charge shall be made for such second check.

      (b) Any person making application for any original Kansas title for a
used vehicle which, at the time of making application, is titled in another
jurisdiction, as a condition precedent to obtaining any Kansas title, shall
have such vehicle checked by the Kansas highway patrol for verification
that the vehicle identification number shown on the foreign title is gen-
uine and agrees with the identification number on the vehicle. Checks
under this section may include inspection for possible violation of K.S.A.
21-3757, and amendments thereto, or other evidence of possible fraud.
The verification shall be made upon forms prescribed by the division of
vehicles which shall contain such information as the secretary of revenue
shall require by rules and regulations. A charge of $10 per hour or part
thereof, with a minimum charge of $10, shall be made for checks under
this subsection. When a vehicle is registered in another state, but is fi-
nanced by a Kansas financial institution and is repossessed in another
state and such vehicle will not be returned to Kansas, the check required
by this subsection (b) shall not be required to obtain a valid Kansas title
or registration.

      (c) As used in this act, ``identification number'' or ``vehicle identifi-
cation number'' means an identifying number, serial number, engine
number, transmission number or other distinguishing number or mark,
placed on a vehicle, engine, transmission or other essential part by its
manufacturer or by authority of the division of vehicles or the Kansas

be remitted to the Kansas highway patrol and the balance of such charges
shall be retained by such designee. When a check is made under either
subsection (a) or (b) by personnel of the Kansas highway patrol or when
a check is made under subsection (b) by an employee of a new vehicle
dealer, the entire amount of the charge therefor shall be paid to the
highway patrol.

fund. The Kansas highway patrol shall remit all moneys received by the
Kansas highway patrol from fees collected under subsection (d) to the
state treasurer at least monthly in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A.
75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance,

to the credit of the vehicle identification number fee fund. All expendi-
tures from the vehicle identification number fee fund shall be made in
accordance with appropriations acts upon warrants of the director of ac-
counts and reports issued pursuant to vouchers approved by the super-
intendent of the Kansas highway patrol or by a person or persons desig-
nated by the superintendent.

      (f) An employee of a new vehicle dealer, who has received initial
training and certification from the highway patrol, and has met continuing
certification requirements, in accordance with rules and regulations
adopted by the superintendent of the highway patrol, may provide the
checks under subsection (b), in accordance with rules and regulations
adopted by the superintendent of the highway patrol, on motor vehicles
repurchased or reacquired by a manufacturer, distributor or financing
subsidiary of such manufacturer and which are purchased by the new
vehicle dealer. At any time, after a hearing in accordance with the pro-
visions of the Kansas administrative procedure act, the superintendent of
the highway patrol may revoke, suspend, decline to renew or decline to
issue certification for failure to comply with the provisions of this sub-
section, including any rules and regulations.

vehicle. Such license plate shall have displayed on it the registration num-
ber assigned to the vehicle and to the owner thereof, the name of the
state, which may be abbreviated, and the year or years for which it is
issued. The same type of license plates shall be issued for passenger motor
vehicles, rented without a driver, as are issued for private passenger ve-
hicles.

      (b) During calendar year 1975 commencing on the effective date of
this act, and during every fifth calendar year thereafter, the division of
vehicles, shall furnish one license plate for any type of vehicle an owner
registers or has the registration thereof renewed, but during the suc-
ceeding four-year period following calendar year 1975 and during the
succeeding four-year period following every fifth calendar year subse-
quent to 1975, the division of vehicles shall not furnish any license plate
for the renewal of a vehicle's registration. During calendar year 1976 and
during each calendar year thereafter in which a license plate is not issued
for the renewal of registration of a vehicle, the division of vehicles shall
furnish one decal for the license plate issued for a vehicle as provided in
K.S.A. 8-134, and amendments thereto, for each registration and renewal
of registration of such vehicle. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this subsection, whenever, in the discretion of the director of vehicles,
it is determined that the license plates currently being issued and dis-
played are not deteriorating to the extent that their replacement is war-
ranted, the director may adopt rules and regulations to extend the five-
year issuance cycle provided for in this subsection by one year at a time,
and in the same manner the director may further extend such cycle by
one year at a time, successively as the director determines appropriate.
If the cycle is extended, at the expiration of the extended term, new
license plates shall again be issued in the manner and for the term pro-
vided in such rules and regulations.

lessee of a passenger vehicle or a truck licensed for a gross weight of not

of vehicles not less than 60 days prior to such owner's or lessee's renewal
of registration date. Such application shall be on a form prescribed by
the division and accompanied by a fee of $40, which shall be in addition
to any other fee required to renew the registration of such passenger
vehicle under the laws of this state. One such personalized license plate
shall be displayed on the rear of the vehicle and the other shall be dis-
played on the front of the vehicle. One personalized license plate may be
issued to any owner of a motorcycle upon proper application in the same
manner provided in this subsection (c) for passenger vehicles and trucks.
Such personalized license plate shall be displayed on the rear of the mo-
torcycle. Such fee shall be paid only once during the registration period
for which such license plates were issued, and any subsequent renewals
during the registration period shall be subject only to the registration fee
prescribed by K.S.A. 8-143, and amendments thereto. The division shall
design distinctive, personalized license plates to be issued which shall
contain not more than seven letters or numbers on truck or passenger
vehicle license plates and not more than five letters or numbers on mo-
torcycle license plates, or a combination thereof, to be designated by the
applicant in lieu of the letters and numbers required by K.S.A. 8-147, and
amendments thereto, other than the letters required to designate the
county in which such vehicle is registered. Unless the letters or numbers
designated by the applicant have been assigned to another vehicle of the
same type registered in the same county, or unless the letters or numbers
designated by the applicant have a profane, vulgar, lewd or indecent
meaning or connotation, as determined by the director of vehicles, the
division shall assign such letters or numbers to the applicant's vehicle,
and the letters or numbers, or combination thereof, so assigned shall be
deemed the registration number of such vehicle. Subject to the foregoing
provisions, all license plates issued under this section shall be manufac-
tured in accordance with K.S.A. 8-147, and amendments thereto. Such
license plates shall be issued for a registration period of five years com-
mencing in 1985 and each five years thereafter.

      The secretary of revenue shall adopt rules and regulations necessary to
carry out the provisions of this act, including, without limitation, rules
and regulations concerning (1) the procedure for insuring that duplicate
license plates are not issued in the same county, (2) the procedure for
reserving distinctive license plates for the purpose of obtaining the same
on each annual renewal of registration, (3) the procedure for allowing the
transfer of personalized license plates from one vehicle to another for
which such license plates were originally issued, when the title to the
original vehicle has not been transferred and the name or names of the
owner or owners listed on the titles to both vehicles are identical, and (4)
procedures necessary to coordinate this act with other laws of this state
governing registration of vehicles. The director of vehicles shall remit all
moneys received by the division of vehicles under this section to the state
treasurer at least monthly in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-
4215, and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance,
the state treasurer shall deposit the entire amount thereof in the state
treasury to the credit of the state highway fund.

provision of K.S.A. 8-136, and amendments thereto, prohibiting the haul-
ing of commodities in excess of two tons by a vehicle displaying a dealer

lows: 8-255. (a) The division is authorized to suspend or revoke a person's
driving privileges upon a showing by its records or other sufficient evi-
dence the person:

      (1) Has been convicted with such frequency of serious offenses
against traffic regulations governing the movement of vehicles as to in-
dicate a disrespect for traffic laws and a disregard for the safety of other
persons on the highways;

      (2) has been convicted of three or more moving traffic violations com-
mitted on separate occasions within a 12-month period;

      (3) is incompetent to drive a motor vehicle;

time when the person's driving privileges were suspended or revoked; or

      (5) is a member of the armed forces of the United States stationed
at a military installation located in the state of Kansas, and the authorities
of the military establishment certify that such person's on-base driving
privileges have been suspended, by action of the proper military author-
ities, for violating the rules and regulations of the military installation
governing the movement of vehicular traffic or for any other reason re-
lating to the person's inability to exercise ordinary and reasonable control
in the operation of a motor vehicle.

      (b) The division shall suspend a person's driving privileges when re-
quired by K.S.A. 8-262 or 8-1014, and amendments thereto, and K.S.A.

son's privilege to drive commercial motor vehicles when required by
K.S.A. 8-2,142, and amendments thereto.

      (c) When the action by the division suspending, revoking or disqual-
ifying a person's driving privileges is based upon a report of a conviction
or convictions from a convicting court, the person may not request a
hearing but, within 30 days after notice of suspension, revocation or dis-
qualification is mailed, may submit a written request for administrative
review and provide evidence to the division to show the person whose
driving privileges have been suspended, revoked or disqualified by the
division was not convicted of the offense upon which the suspension,
revocation or disqualification is based. Within 30 days of its receipt of the
request for administrative review, the division shall notify the person
whether the suspension, revocation or disqualification has been affirmed
or set aside. The request for administrative review shall not stay any action
taken by the division.

      (d) Upon suspending, revoking or disqualifying the driving privileges
of any person as authorized by this act, the division shall immediately
notify the person in writing. Except as provided by K.S.A. 8-1002 and 8-

person makes a written request for hearing within 30 days after such
notice of suspension or revocation is mailed, the division shall afford the
person an opportunity for a hearing as early as practical not sooner than
five days nor more than 30 days after such request is mailed. If the division

exceed 45 days. Except as provided by K.S.A. 8-1002 and 8-2,145, and
amendments thereto, the hearing shall be held in the person's county of
residence or a county adjacent thereto, unless the division and the person

hearing, the director or the director's duly authorized agent may admin-
ister oaths and may issue subpoenas for the attendance of witnesses and
the production of relevant books and papers and may require an exami-
nation or reexamination of the person. When the action proposed or taken
by the division is authorized but not required, the division, upon the
hearing, shall either rescind or affirm its order of suspension or revocation
or, good cause appearing therefor, extend the suspension of the person's
driving privileges, modify the terms of the suspension or revoke the per-
son's driving privileges. When the action proposed or taken by the division
is required, the division, upon the hearing, shall either affirm its order of
suspension, revocation or disqualification, or, good cause appearing there-
for, dismiss the administrative action. If the person fails to request a
hearing within the time prescribed or if, after a hearing, the order of
suspension, revocation or disqualification is upheld, the person shall sur-
render to the division, upon proper demand, any driver's license in the
person's possession.

      (e) In case of failure on the part of any person to comply with any
subpoena issued in behalf of the division or the refusal of any witness to
testify to any matters regarding which the witness may be lawfully inter-
rogated, the district court of any county, on application of the division,
may compel obedience by proceedings for contempt, as in the case of
disobedience of the requirements of a subpoena issued from the court or
a refusal to testify in the court. Each witness who appears before the
director or the director's duly authorized agent by order or subpoena,
other than an officer or employee of the state or of a political subdivision
of the state, shall receive for the witness' attendance the fees and mileage
provided for witnesses in civil cases in courts of record, which shall be

munity-based alcohol and drug safety action program shall be certified
either by the chief judge of the judicial district to be served by the pro-
gram or by the secretary of social and rehabilitation services for judicial

retary shall recertify or certify a community-based alcohol and drug safety
action program for the judicial district for the next four-year period. To
be eligible for certification under this subsection, the chief judge or the

tation. The presentence alcohol and drug evaluation report shall include

cation and treatment for the defendant. The presentence alcohol and
drug evaluation report shall be prepared by a program which has dem-
onstrated practical experience in the diagnosis of alcohol and drug abuse.
The duties of persons who prepare the presentence alcohol and drug
evaluation report may also include appearing at sentencing and probation
hearings in accordance with the orders of the court, monitoring defen-
dants in the treatment programs, notifying the probation department and

cohol and drug evaluation report shall be prepared by a program which
has demonstrated practical experience in the diagnosis of alcohol and
drug abuse. The duties of persons who prepare the alcohol and drug
evaluation report may also include monitoring persons in the treatment
programs, notifying the prosecutor and the court of any person failing to
meet the conditions of diversion or referrals to treatment, and providing
assistance and data reporting and program evaluation. The cost of any
alcohol and drug education, rehabilitation and treatment programs for
any person shall be paid by such person, and such costs shall include, but
not be limited to, the assessments required by subsection (e).

      (e) In addition to any fines, fees, penalties or costs levied against a
person who is convicted of a violation of K.S.A. 8-1567, and amendments
thereto, or the ordinance of a city in this state which prohibits the acts
prohibited by that statute, or who enters a diversion agreement in lieu of
further criminal proceedings on a complaint alleging a violation of that
statute or such an ordinance, $125 shall be assessed against the person
by the sentencing court or under the diversion agreement. The $125
assessment may be waived by the court or, in the case of diversion of
criminal proceedings, by the prosecuting attorney, if the court or prose-
cuting attorney finds that the defendant is an indigent person. Except as
otherwise provided in this subsection, the clerk of the court shall deposit
all assessments received under this section in the alcohol and drug safety
action fund of the court, which fund shall be subject to the administration

the court is located, the clerk of the court shall remit, during the four-
year period for which the program is certified, 15% of all assessments

having administrative authority over that court, only for costs of the serv-
ices specified by subsection (a) or otherwise required or authorized by
law and provided by community-based alcohol and drug safety action
programs, except that not more than 10% of the money credited to the
fund may be expended to cover the expenses of the court involved in
administering the provisions of this section. In the provision of these
services the court shall contract as may be necessary to carry out the
provisions of this section. The district or municipal judge having admin-
istrative authority over that court shall compile a report and send such
report to the office of the state judicial administrator on or before January

required by K.S.A. 59-1709, and amendments thereto, or any other ap-
plicable statute, rule of law, rules and regulations or court order, nor shall
the originating trustee be absolved from any breach of fiduciary duty or
obligation occurring prior to the effective date of the agreement.

      (d) The agreement may authorize the contracting trustee:

      (1) To establish a trust service desk at any office of the originating
trustee at which the contracting trustee may conduct any trust business
and any business incidental thereto and which the contracting trustee may
otherwise conduct at its principal place of business; and

      (2) to engage the originating trustee as the agent of the contracting
trustee, on a disclosed basis to customers, for the purposes of providing
administrative, advertising and safekeeping services incident to the fidu-
ciary services provided by the contracting trustee.

      (e) Any contracting trustee may enter into an agreement with a fi-
nancial institution providing that the contracting trustee may establish a
trust service desk as authorized by subsection (d) in the offices of such
financial institution and which provides such financial institution, on a
disclosed basis to customers, may act as the agent of contracting trustee
for purposes of providing administrative services and advertising incident
to the fiduciary services to be performed by the contracting trustee.

      (f) No activity authorized by subsections (b) through (e) shall be con-
ducted by any contracting trustee, originating trustee or financial insti-
tution until an application for such authority has been submitted to and
approved by the commissioner. The application shall be in the form and
contain the information required by the commissioner, which shall at a
minimum include certified copies of the following documents:

      (1) The agreement;

      (2) the written action taken by the board of directors of the originat-
ing trustee or financial institution approving the agreement;

      (3) all other required regulatory approvals;

      (4) an affidavit of publication of notice of intent to file the application
with the commissioner. Publication of the notice shall be on the same day
for two consecutive weeks in the official newspaper of the city or county
where the principal office of the originating trustee or financial institution
is located. The notice shall be in the form prescribed by the commissioner
and shall contain the name of the applicant contracting trustee, the orig-
inating trustee or financial institution, the proposed date of filing of the
application with the commissioner, a solicitation for written comments
concerning the application, and a notice of the public's right to file a
written request for a public hearing for the purpose of presenting oral or
written evidence regarding the proposed agreement. All comments and
requests for public hearing shall be filed with the commissioner on or
before the 30th day after the date the application is filed; and

      (5) a certification by the parties to the agreement that written notice
of the proposed substitution was sent by first-class mail to each cofidu-
ciary, each surviving settlor of a trust, each ward of a guardianship, each
person who has sole or shared power to remove the originating trustee
as fiduciary and each adult beneficiary currently receiving or entitled to
receive a distribution of principle or income from a fiduciary account
affected by the agreement, and that such notice was sent to each such
person's address as shown in the originating trustee's records. An unin-
tentional failure to give such notice shall not impair the validity or effect
of any such agreement, except an intentional failure to give such notice
shall render the agreement null and void as to the party not receiving the
notice of substitution.

      (g) A contracting trustee making application to the commissioner for
approval of any agreement pursuant to this section shall pay to the com-
missioner a fee, in an amount established by rules and regulations of the
commissioner adopted pursuant to K.S.A. 9-1713, and amendments
thereto, to defray the expenses of the commissioner or designee in the
examination and investigation of the application. The commissioner shall
remit all amounts received under this section to the state treasurer who
shall deposit the same in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-
4215, and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance, the
state treasurer shall deposit the entire amount in the state treasury to the
credit of a separate account in the state treasury for each application. The
money in each such account shall be used to pay the expenses of the
commissioner, or designee in the examination and investigation of the
application to which it relates and any unused balance shall be transferred
to the bank commissioner fee fund.

      (h) Upon the filing of any such application with the commissioner,
the commissioner shall make or cause to be made, a careful examination
and investigation concerning:

      (1) The reasonable probability of usefulness and success of the con-
tracting trustee;

      (2) the financial history and condition of the contracting trustee in-
cluding the character, qualifications and experience of the officers em-
ployed by the contracting trustee; and

      (3) whether the contracting agreement will result in any undue injury
to properly conducted existing banks, national banks and trust companies.

      If the commissioner shall determine any of such matters unfavorably
to the applicants, the application shall be disapproved, but if not, then
the application shall be approved.

      (i) If no written request for public hearing is filed, the commissioner
shall render approval or disapproval of the application within 60 days of
the date upon which the application was filed.

      (j) If a written request for public hearing is filed, the commissioner
shall hold within 30 days of the close of the comment period, a public
hearing in a location determined by the commissioner. Notice of the time,
date and place of such hearing shall be published by the applicant in a
newspaper of general circulation in the county where the originating trus-
tee or financial institution is located, not less than 10 nor more than 30
days prior to the date of the hearing, and an affidavit of publication shall
be filed with the commissioner. At any such hearing, all interested persons
may present written and oral evidence to the commissioner in support of
or in opposition to the application. Upon completion of a transcript of
the testimony given at any such hearing, the transcript shall be filed in
the office of the commissioner. Within 14 days after the public hearing,
the commissioner shall approve or disapprove the application after con-
sideration of the application and evidence gathered during the commis-
sioner's investigation.

      (k) The commissioner may extend the period for approval or disap-
proval if the commissioner determines that any information required by
this section has not been furnished, any material information submitted
is inaccurate or additional investigation is required. The commissioner,
prior to expiration of the application period provided for by this section,
shall give written notice to each party to the agreement of the commis-
sioner's intent to extend the period which shall include a specific date for
expiration of the extension period. If any information remains incomplete
or inaccurate upon the expiration of the extension period the application
shall be disapproved.

      (l) Within 15 days of the date of the commissioner's approval or de-
nial, the applicant or any individual or corporation who filed a request for
and presented evidence at the public hearing shall have the right to appeal
in writing to the state banking board the commissioner's determination
by filing a notice of appeal with the commissioner. The state banking
board shall fix a date for hearing, which hearing shall be held within 45
days after such notice of appeal is filed. The board shall conduct the
hearing in accordance with the provisions of the Kansas administrative
procedure act and render its decision affirming or rescinding the deter-
mination of the commissioner. Any action of the board pursuant to this
section is subject to review in accordance with the act for judicial review
and civil enforcement of agency actions. Any party which files an appeal
to the state banking board of the commissioner's determination shall pay
to the commissioner a fee in an amount established by rules and regu-
lations of the commissioner, adopted pursuant to K.S.A. 9-1713, and
amendments thereto, to defray the board's expenses associated with the
conduct of the appeal.

      (m) When the commissioner determines that any contracting trustee
domiciled in this state has entered into a contracting agreement in vio-
lation of the laws governing the operation of such contracting trustee, the
commissioner shall give written notice to the contracting trustee and the
originating trustee or financial institution of such determination. Within
15 days after receipt of such notification, the contracting trustee and
originating trustee or financial institution shall have the right to appeal in
writing to the state banking board the commissioner's determination. The
board shall fix a date for hearing, which shall be held within 45 days after
the date of the appeal and shall be conducted in accordance with the
Kansas administrative procedure act. At such hearing the board shall hear
all matters relevant to the commissioner's determination and shall ap-
prove or disapprove the commissioner's determination. The decision of
the board shall be final and conclusive. If the contracting trustee does
not appeal to the board from the commissioner's determination or if an
appeal is made and the commissioner's determination is upheld by the
board, the commissioner may proceed as provided in K.S.A. 9-1714, and
amendments thereto, until such time as the commissioner determines the
contracting trustee, originating trustee and financial institution are in full
compliance with the laws governing the operation of a contracting trustee
and originating trustee or financial institution.

      (n) Any party entitled to receive a notice under subsection (f)(5) may
file a petition in the court having jurisdiction over the fiduciary relation-
ship, or if none, in the district court in the county where the originating
trustee has its principal office, seeking to remove any contracting trustee
substituted or about to be substituted as fiduciary pursuant to this section.
Unless the contracting trustee files a written consent to its removal or a
written declination to act subsequent to the filing of the petition, the
court, upon notice and hearing, shall determine the best interest of the
petitioner and all other parties concerned and shall fashion such relief as
it deems appropriate in the circumstances, including the awarding of rea-
sonable attorney fees. The right to file a petition under this subsection
shall be in addition to any other rights to remove fiduciary provided by
any other statute or regulation or by the writing creating the fiduciary
relationship. If the removal of the fiduciary is prompted solely as a result
of the contracting agreement, any reasonable cost associated with such
removal and transfer, not to exceed $200 per account, shall be paid by
the originating trustee or financial institution entering into the agreement.

      Sec.  49. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 9-2108 is hereby amended to read as

commissioner or designee in the examination and investigation of the
application to which it relates and any unused balance shall be transferred
to the bank commissioner fee fund;.

      (e) Upon filing of any such application with the commissioner, the
commissioner shall make or cause to be made, a careful examination and
investigation concerning:

      (1) The reasonable probability of usefulness and success of the pro-
posed trust service office;

      (2) the applicant trust company's financial history and condition in-
cluding the character, qualifications and experience of the officers em-
ployed by the trust company; and

      (3) whether the proposed trust service office can be established with-

associations and trust companies. If the commissioner determines any of
such matters unfavorably to the applicants, the application shall be dis-
approved, but if not, the application shall be approved.

      (f) If no written request for public hearing is filed, the commissioner
shall render approval or disapproval of the application within 60 days of
the date upon which the application was filed.

      (g) If a written request for public hearing is filed, the commissioner

hearing, the commissioner shall approve or disapprove the application
after consideration of the application and evidence gathered during the
commissioner's investigation.

      (h) The commissioner may extend the period for approval or disap-
proval if the commissioner determines that any information required by

is inaccurate or additional investigation is required. The commissioner,
prior to expiration of the application period as provided in this section,
shall give written notice to the applicant of the commissioner's intent to
extend the period and such notice shall include a specific date for expi-
ration of the extension period. If any information remains incomplete or
inaccurate upon the expiration of the extension period the application

ration who filed a request for and presented evidence at the public hear-
ing shall have the right to appeal in writing to the state banking board
the commissioner's determination, by filing a notice of appeal with the
commissioner. The state banking board shall fix a date for a hearing,
which hearing shall be held within 45 days from the date such notice of
appeal is filed. The board shall conduct the hearing in accordance with

cordance with the act for judicial review and civil enforcement of agency
actions. Any party which files an appeal to the state banking board of the

ciled in this state has established or is operating a trust service office in
violation of the laws governing the operation of such trust company, the

termination. Within 15 days after receipt of such notification, the trust
company may appeal in writing to the state banking board the commis-
sioner's determination. The board shall fix a date for hearing, which hear-
ing shall be held within 45 days from the date of such appeal and shall

trative procedure act. At such hearing the board shall hear all matters

mation as may be necessary to determine the amounts to which any such
tax shall apply for all gross rental receipts for the applicable month or
months, which report shall be accompanied by the tax disclosed thereby.
Records of gross rental receipts shall be kept separate and apart from the
records of other retail sales made by a business in order to facilitate the
examination of books and records as provided herein.

      (b) The secretary of revenue or the secretary's authorized represen-
tative shall have the right at all reasonable times during business hours

fective administration and enforcement of the collection thereof. When-
ever any business liable to pay any transient guest tax refuses or neglects
to pay the same, the amount, including any penalty, shall be collected in
the manner prescribed for the collection of the retailers' sales tax by
K.S.A. 79-3617, and amendments thereto. All of the taxes collected under
the provisions of this act shall be paid into the state treasury daily remitted
by the secretary of revenue to the state treasurer in accordance with the
provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of
each such remittance, the state treasurer shall deposit the entire amount

taxes so collected in to the state general fund to defray the expenses of
the department in administration and enforcement of the collection

county clerk or treasurer of any city or county levying a transient guest
tax, monthly reports identifying each person doing business in such city
or county to which such tax is applicable setting forth the tax liability and

has been requested from the director of taxation. The director of taxation
shall be allowed to assess a reasonable fee for the issuance of such report.
Information received by any city or county pursuant to this section shall
be kept confidential, and it shall be unlawful for any officer or employee
of such city or county to divulge any such information in any manner. Any

class B misdemeanor, and such officer or employee shall be dismissed
from office.

      (e) All such moneys received by the county treasurer or city treasurer
from disbursements from the county and city transient guest tax fund
shall be credited to the tourism and convention promotion fund of such
county or city and shall only be expended for convention and tourism
promotion, except that not more than 20% of the moneys credited to

arate and apart from the records of other retail sales made by a business
in order to facilitate the examination of books and records as provided
herein.

      (b) The secretary of revenue or the secretary's authorized represen-
tative shall have the right at all reasonable times during business hours
to make such examination and inspection of the books and records of a
business as may be necessary to determine the accuracy of such reports.

      (c) The secretary of revenue is hereby authorized to administer and
collect any transient guest tax levied pursuant to this act and to adopt
such rules and regulations as may be necessary for the efficient and ef-
fective administration and enforcement of the collection thereof. When-
ever any business liable to pay any transient guest tax refuses or neglects

taxes so collected in to the state general fund to defray the expenses of
the department in administration and enforcement of the collection
thereof. The remainder of such taxes shall be credited to the county or
city transient guest tax fund, which fund is hereby established. All moneys
in the county or city transient guest tax fund shall be remitted at least
quarterly by the state treasurer to the county or city treasurer of each
county or city levying a transient guest tax under the provisions of this
act in the proportion, as certified by the director of taxation, that the

period covered by the distribution.

      (d) The director of taxation shall provide, upon request by a city or
county clerk or treasurer of any city or county levying a transient guest
tax, monthly reports identifying each person doing business in such city

shall be allowed to assess a reasonable fee for the issuance of such report.
Information received by any city or county pursuant to this section shall
be kept confidential, and it shall be unlawful for any officer or employee
of such city or county to divulge any such information in any manner. Any
violation of this paragraph by a city or county officer or employee is a
class B misdemeanor, and such officer or employee shall be dismissed
from office.

      (e) Except as otherwise provided in K.S.A. 12-1774, and amendments
thereto, all such moneys received by the county or city treasurer from
disbursements from the county or city transient guest tax fund shall be
credited to the tourism and convention promotion fund of such county
or city and shall only be expended for convention and tourism promotion.

      Sec.  52. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 12-2539 is hereby amended to read as
follows: 12-2539. (a) The board of county commissioners of any county
which has been authorized by a majority of the electors of the county to
create or to become a part of the metropolitan culture district and to levy
and collect a tax for the purpose of contributing to the financial support
of the district shall adopt a resolution imposing a countywide retailers'
sales tax and pledging the revenues received therefrom for such purpose.
The rate of such tax shall be fixed in an amount of not more than .25%.
Any county levying a retailers' sales tax under authority of this section is
hereby prohibited from administering or collecting such tax locally, but
shall utilize the services of the state department of revenue to administer,
enforce and collect such tax. The sales tax shall be administered, enforced
and collected in the same manner and by the same procedure as other
countywide retailers' sales taxes are levied and collected and shall be in
addition to any other sales tax authorized by law. Upon receipt of a cer-
tified copy of a resolution authorizing the levy of a countywide retailers'
sales tax pursuant to this section, the state director of taxation shall cause
such tax to be collected within and outside the boundaries of such county
at the same time and in the same manner provided for the collection of
the state retailers' sales tax. All moneys collected by the director of tax-
ation under the provisions of this section shall be credited remitted to the
state treasurer in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and
amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance, the state trea-
surer shall deposit the entire amount in the state treasury to the credit of
the metropolitan culture district retailers' sales tax fund which fund is
hereby established in the state treasury. Any refund due on any county-
wide retailers' sales tax collected pursuant to this section shall be paid out
of the sales tax refund fund and reimbursed by the director of taxation
from retailers' sales tax revenue collected pursuant to this section. All
countywide retailers' sales tax revenue collected within any county pur-
suant to this section shall be remitted at least quarterly by the state trea-
surer, on instruction from the director of taxation, to the treasurer of such
county.

      (b) All revenue received by any county treasurer from a countywide
retailers' sales tax imposed pursuant to this section shall be appropriated
by the county to the metropolitan culture district commission within 60
days of receipt of the funds by the county for expenditure by the com-
mission pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the Kansas
and Missouri metropolitan culture district compact. If any such revenue
remains upon nullification and voidance of the Kansas and Missouri met-
ropolitan culture district compact, the county treasurer shall deposit such
revenue to the credit of the general fund of the county.

      (c) Any countywide retailers' sales tax imposed pursuant to this sec-
tion shall expire upon the date of actual withdrawal of the county from
the metropolitan culture district or at any time the Kansas and Missouri
metropolitan culture district compact becomes null and void and of no
further force or effect. If any moneys remain in the metropolitan culture
district retailers' sales tax fund upon nullification and voidance of the
Kansas and Missouri metropolitan culture district compact, the state trea-
surer shall transfer such moneys to the county and city retailers' sales tax
fund to be apportioned and remitted at the same time and in the same
manner as other countywide retailers' sales tax revenues are apportioned
and remitted.

      Sec.  53. K.S.A. 12-2623 is hereby amended to read as follows: 12-

the group-funded pools fee fund. The commissioner of insurance shall
be responsible for administering the group-funded pools fee fund and all
payments from the fund shall be upon warrants of the director of accounts
and reports issued pursuant to vouchers approved by the commissioner
of insurance or a person or persons designated by the commissioner.

      (b) The commissioner of insurance shall estimate as soon as practical
after January 1 of each year the expenses necessary for the supervision of
the group-funded pools for the fiscal year beginning on July 1 thereafter.
Not later than June 1 of each year, the commissioner of insurance shall

(c) is to reimburse the state general fund for accounting, auditing, budg-
eting, legal, payroll, personnel and purchasing services, and any and all

tigation, finds that the financial responsibility, character and fitness of the
applicant, and of the members thereof if the applicant is a copartnership
or association and of the officers and directors thereof, if the applicant is
a corporation, are such as to warrant belief that the business will be op-
erated honestly and fairly within the purposes of this act. An applicant

the business of making supervised loans, under subsection (1) of K.S.A.
16a-2-301, and amendments thereto, only if the applicant has filed with

question of license qualifications if: (a) The administrator has notified the
applicant in writing that the application has been denied; or (b) the ad-
ministrator has not issued a license within 60 days after the application
for the license was filed. A request for a hearing may not be made more
than 15 days after the administrator has mailed a writing to the applicant
notifying the applicant that the application has been denied and stating
in substance the administrator's findings supporting denial of the appli-
cation.

      (5) The administrator shall adopt rules and regulations regarding
whether a licensee shall be required to obtain a single license for each
place of business or whether a licensee may obtain a master license for
all of its places of business, and in so doing the administrator may differ-
entiate between licensees located in this state and licensees located else-
where. Each license shall remain in full force and effect until surrendered,
suspended or revoked.

      (6) No licensee shall change the location of any place of business
without giving the administrator at least 15 days prior written notice.

      (7) A licensee may conduct the business of making supervised loans
only at or from any place of business for which the licensee holds a license
and not under any other name than that in the license. Loans made pur-
suant to a lender credit card do not violate this subsection.

      Sec.  82. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 22-4504 is hereby amended to read as
follows: 22-4504. (a) When any defendant who is entitled to have the
assistance of counsel, under the provisions of K.S.A. 22-4503, and amend-
ments thereto, claims to be financially unable to employ counsel, the
court shall require that the defendant file an affidavit containing such
information and in the form as prescribed by rules and regulations
adopted by the state board of indigents' defense services. The affidavit
filed by the defendant shall become a part of the permanent file of the
case. The court may interrogate the defendant under oath concerning the
contents of the affidavit and may direct the county or district attorney,
sheriff, marshal or other officer of the county to investigate and report
upon the financial condition of the defendant and may also require the
production of evidence upon the issue of the defendant's financial ina-
bility to employ counsel.

      (b) Upon the basis of the defendant's affidavit, the defendant's state-
ments under oath, and such other competent evidence as may be brought
to the attention of the court, which shall be made part of the record in
the case, the court shall determine whether the defendant is financially
unable to employ counsel. In making such determination the court shall
consider the defendant's assets and income; the amount needed for the
payment of reasonable and necessary expenses incurred, or which must
be incurred to support the defendant and the defendant's immediate
family; the anticipated cost of effective representation by employed coun-
sel; and any property which may have been transferred or conveyed by
the defendant to any person without adequate monetary consideration
after the commission of the alleged crime. If the defendant's assets and
income are not sufficient to cover the anticipated cost of effective rep-
resentation by employed counsel when the length and complexity of the
anticipated proceedings are taken fully into account, the defendant shall
be determined indigent in full or in part and the court shall appoint an
attorney as provided in K.S.A. 22-4503, and amendments thereto. If the
court determines that the defendant is financially able to employ counsel,
the court shall so advise the defendant and shall give the defendant a
reasonable opportunity to employ an attorney of the defendant's own
choosing. All determinations by a court as to whether a defendant is
financially unable to employ counsel shall be subject to and in accordance
with rules and regulations adopted by the state board of indigents' defense
services under this act.

pointed that the amount expended by the state in providing counsel and
other defense services may be entered as a judgment against the defend-
ant if the defendant is convicted and found to be financially able to pay
the amount, and that an action to recover such amount may be brought
against any person to whom the defendant may have transferred or con-
veyed any of the defendant's property without adequate monetary con-
sideration after the date of the commission of the alleged crime. A de-
termination by the court that the defendant is financially unable to employ
counsel or pay other costs of the defendant's defense may preclude a
recovery from the defendant but may not preclude recovery from any
person to whom the defendant may have transferred or conveyed any
property without adequate monetary consideration after the date of the
commission of the alleged crime.

      (d) If found to be indigent in part, the defendant shall be promptly
informed of the terms under which the defendant may be expected to
pay for counsel. Any payments pursuant to such terms shall apply upon
any judgment entered pursuant to K.S.A. 22-4513, and amendments
thereto. Payments made for services of appointed counsel provided under
K.S.A. 22-4503, and amendments thereto, shall be paid to the clerk of
the district court. The clerk of the district court shall remit all moneys
received as payment for services of appointed counsel under this section
to the state board of indigents' defense services at least monthly and the
board shall remit all moneys received under this section to the state trea-
surer at least monthly in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-
4215, and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance,
the state treasurer shall deposit the entire amount thereof in the state
treasury to the credit of the state general fund.

      (e) The determination that a defendant is indigent or partially indi-
gent shall be subject to review at any time by any court before whom the
cause is then pending.

      (f) The state board of indigents' defense services shall adopt rules
and regulations in accordance with K.S.A. 77-415 et seq., and amend-
ments thereto, relating to the income, assets and anticipated costs of
representation for the purpose of determining whether a defendant is
financially able to employ counsel and the ability of a defendant to con-
tribute to the cost of the defendant's legal defense services.

amount of $35 against any defendant entitled to counsel pursuant to

hardship on the defendant, the court may waive payment of all or part of

service regulation fee imposed by this section on insurers licensed in
Kansas and organized or domiciled in such other state is greater than the
comparable fee or tax assessed in such other state, or such other state has
no comparable fee or tax but requires payment on a retaliatory basis, then
to the extent such fee or tax amounts are legally due and are paid in such
other state, any insurer domiciled in Kansas may claim a dollar-for-dollar
credit for such fees paid against insurer's annual premium taxes due the
state of Kansas under K.S.A. 40-252, and amendments thereto, or privi-
lege fee due the state of Kansas under K.S.A. 40-3213, and amendments
thereto, but such credit shall only be calculated on the amount which
would not have been required to be paid in such other state of licensure
in the absence of the existence of the insurance department service reg-
ulation fee imposed by this section, and in no event shall the credit per-
mitted by this section exceed 90% of the insurer's annual premium tax
or privilege fee due the state of Kansas. The insurance commissioner shall
prescribe the forms for reporting such credits.

      (e) Assessments payable under this section shall be past due if not
paid to the insurance department within 45 days of the billing date of
such assessment. A penalty equal to 10% of the amount assessed shall be
imposed upon any past due payment and the total amount of the assess-
ment and penalty shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month or any
portion thereof.

      (f) When there exists in the insurance department service regulation
fund a deficiency which would render such fund temporarily insufficient
during any fiscal year to meet the insurance department's funding
requirements, the commissioner of insurance shall certify the amount of
the insufficiency. Upon receipt of any such certification, the director of
accounts and reports shall transfer an amount of moneys equal to the
amount so certified from the state general fund to the insurance depart-
ment service regulation fund. On June 30 of any fiscal year during which
an amount or amounts are certified and transferred under this subsection,
the director of accounts and reports shall provide for the repayment of
the amounts so transferred and shall transfer the amount equal to the
total of all such amounts transferred during the fiscal year from the in-
surance department service regulation fund to the state general fund.

      (g) Any unexpended balance in the insurance department service reg-
ulation fund at the close of a fiscal year shall remain credited to the
insurance department service regulation fund for use in the succeeding
fiscal year and shall be used to reduce future assessments or to accom-
modate cash flow demands on the fund.

      (h) The commissioner of insurance shall exempt the assessment of
any insurer which, as of December 31 of the calendar year preceding the
assessment, has a surplus of less than two times the minimum amount of
surplus required for a certificate of authority on and after May 1, 1994,
and which is subject to the premium tax or privilege fee liability imposed
on insurers organized under the laws of this state. The commissioner of
insurance may also exempt or defer, in whole or in part, the assessment
of any other insurer if, in the opinion of the commissioner of insurance,
immediate payment of the total assessment would be detrimental to the
solvency of the insurer.

      (i) As used in this section:

      (1) ``Affiliates'' or ``affiliated'' has the meaning ascribed by K.S.A. 40-
3302, and amendments thereto;

      (2) ``group'' or ``group of affiliated insurers'' means the affiliated in-
surers of a group and also includes an individual, unaffiliated insurer; and

      (3) ``insurer'' means any insurance company, as defined by K.S.A. 40-
201, and amendments thereto, any fraternal benefit society, as defined

ganization, as defined by K.S.A. 40-3202, and amendments thereto, or
any captive insurance company, as defined by K.S.A. 40-4301, and
amendments thereto, which is authorized to do business in Kansas.

      Sec.  114. K.S.A. 40-223 is hereby amended to read as follows: 40-
223. Any person who makes any examination under the provisions of this
act, except as provided in K.S.A. 40-110 and 40-253, and amendments
thereto, may receive, as full compensation for such person's services, on
a per diem basis an amount fixed by the commissioner, which shall not
exceed the amount recommended by the national association of insurance
commissioners, for such time necessarily and actually occupied in going
to and returning from the place of such examination and for such time
the examiner is necessarily and actually engaged in making such exami-
nation including any day within the regular workweek when the examiner
would have been so engaged had the company or society been open for
business, together with such necessary and actual expenses for traveling
and subsistence as the examiner shall incur because of the performance
of such services. For the purposes of this act, ``necessary and actual ex-
penses'' shall be limited, whether for travel within the state or travel
outside the state, to those limitations expressed in K.S.A. 75-3207, and
amendments thereto, which pertain to official travel outside the state.
The daily charge shall be calculated by dividing the amount the examiner
is authorized by the commissioner of insurance to charge per week by
the number of days in the regular workweek of the company or society
being examined.

      All of such compensation, expenses, the employer's share of the federal
insurance contributions act taxes, the employer's contribution to the Kan-
sas public employees retirement system as provided in K.S.A. 74-4920,
and amendments thereto, the self-insurance assessment for the work-
men's compensation act as provided in K.S.A. 44-576, and amendments
thereto, the employer's cost of the state health care benefits program
under K.S.A. 75-6507, and amendments thereto, a pro rata amount de-
termined by the commissioner to provide vacation and sick leave for the
examiner not to exceed the number of days allowed state officers and
employees in the classified service pursuant to regulations promulgated
in accordance with the Kansas civil service act, all outside consulting and
data processing fees necessary to perform any examination, and a pro rata
amount determined by the commissioner not to exceed an annual aggre-
gate of $18,000 to fund the purchase, maintenance and enhancement of
examination equipment and computer software shall be paid to the com-
missioner of insurance by the insurance company or society so examined,
on demand of the commissioner. The amount paid for all outside con-
sulting and data processing fees necessary to perform any examination,
and the pro rata amount to fund the purchase of examination equipment
and computer software shall not collectively total more than $25,000 at
any one company examination including examination of its subsidiaries or
combination thereof. Such demand shall be accompanied by the sworn
statement of the person making such examination, setting forth in sepa-
rate items the number of days necessarily and actually occupied in going
to and returning from the place of such examination, the number of days
the examiners were necessarily and actually engaged in making such ex-
amination including those days within the regular workweek while the
examination was in progress and the company or society had closed for
business, and the necessary and actual expenses for traveling and subsis-
tence, incurred in and on account of such services. A duplicate of every
such sworn statement shall be kept on file in the office of the commis-
sioner of insurance. All moneys so paid to the commissioner of insurance
shall be remitted to the state treasurer and in accordance with the pro-
visions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each
such remittance, the state treasurer shall deposit the entire amount in the
state treasury to the credit of the insurance company examination fund.
The state treasurer shall issue duplicate receipts therefor, one to be de-
livered to the commissioner of insurance and the other to be filed with
the director of accounts and reports.

      Sec.  115. K.S.A. 40-1706 is hereby amended to read as follows: 40-
1706. (a) On or before April 1 of each year, every firefighters relief as-
sociation which holds funds received under the firefighters relief act shall
submit to the commissioner of insurance a verified account showing in
full the receipts and disbursements and general condition of such funds
for the year ending on the preceding December 31. If such account or
other information shows such funds are not being expended for the pur-
poses authorized by the firefighters relief act, the commissioner of insur-
ance shall notify the county attorney of the county in which any such
firefighters relief association is located and the county attorney shall in-
stitute proceedings to recover for the use of the firefighters relief asso-
ciation all moneys expended for purposes not in accordance with the
provisions of the firefighters relief act. The commissioner of insurance
shall hold any funds of such firefighters relief association until the com-
missioner is notified by the district or county attorney that such condition
has been corrected.

      (b)  (1) All moneys received by the commissioner of insurance from
the tax imposed by K.S.A. 40-1703, and amendments thereto, shall be
remitted to the state treasurer in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A.
75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance,
the state treasurer shall deposit the entire amount thereof in the state
treasury and shall be credited to the credit of the state firefighters relief
fund which is hereby created in the state treasury.

      (2) The state firefighters relief fund shall be administered by the com-
missioner of insurance. An amount equal to not more than the amount
authorized for expenditure during the current fiscal year by appropria-
tions enacted by the legislature may be set aside in the state firefighters
relief fund and expended by the commissioner of insurance for the ad-
ministrative expenses of the department of insurance under the firefight-
ers relief act, subject to the provisions of appropriations acts.

      (c) Prior to August 1, 1987, and each August 1 thereafter, except as
provided in subsections (b) and (d), of the total amount of moneys cred-
ited to the state firefighters relief fund as of July 1 of the same year the
amounts determined as prescribed in subsections (c)(1) through (c)(6)
shall be paid as provided therein.

      (1) An amount equal to 3% of such total amount shall be paid by the
commissioner of insurance to the treasurer of the Kansas state firefighters
association, inc. for fire prevention and fire extinguishment education and
study.

      (2) An amount equal to 5% of such total amount shall be paid by the
commissioner of insurance to the Kansas state firefighters association, inc.
which shall be set aside as a death benefit fund to provide such benefits
as determined by the association in accordance with the constitution and
bylaws thereof, except the amount paid under this subsection (c)(2) shall
not be more than the lesser of $100,000 or the result obtained by sub-
tracting the balance in the death benefit fund of the association on July
1 from $100,000.

      (3) The amount of $1,000 shall be paid by the commissioner of in-
surance to each firefighters relief association.

      (4) The remaining amount of the moneys credited to the state fire-
fighters relief fund, after the amounts are reserved or paid for the pur-
poses authorized by subsections (b)(2), (c)(1), (c)(2) and (c)(3), shall be
paid by the commissioner of insurance to firefighters relief associations
so that the amount received by each firefighters relief association bears
the same proportion to the total amount to be paid as the amount such
firefighters relief association received from the amounts collected from
the tax imposed by K.S.A. 40-1703, and amendments thereto, for all of
calendar year 1983, bears to the total amount paid to all firefighters relief
associations from the taxes collected for all of calendar year 1983, subject
to adjustments made to correct for errors in the payments distributed and
as otherwise provided pursuant to this subsection (c)(4), adjustments
made pursuant to subsection (c)(5) for firefighters relief associations that
did not receive a payment from taxes paid for all of calendar year 1983
and adjustments pursuant to subsection (c)(6) for redeterminations based
upon changed circumstances. The commissioner of insurance may make
adjustments in the amounts of payments for the current year made under
this subsection (c)(4) for errors in the payments distributed for the prior
year, except that adjustments may be made in the payments to be dis-
tributed by August 1, 1987, for any errors in the payments distributed
during the period from July 1, 1984, through June 30, 1987, and an ad-
justment shall be made in the payment to be distributed by August 1,
1987, for each firefighters relief association which was in existence for
only part of calendar year 1983 and which received a payment for calendar
year 1983 based on the taxes received for only part of calendar year 1983,
to reflect the total of the payments that would most probably have been
received by such firefighters relief association during the period from
August 1, 1984, through June 30, 1987, if such firefighters relief associ-
ation had been in existence for all of calendar year 1983, reduced by the
payments actually received by such firefighters relief association during
the period from August 1, 1984, through June 30, 1987. For purposes of
all payments under subsection (c)(4) after the adjusted payment distrib-
uted by August 1, 1987, such firefighters relief association shall be con-
sidered to have received for calendar year 1983, the amount it most prob-
ably would have received if it had been in existence for all of calendar
year 1983, which shall be the amount having the same proportional re-
lationship to 365 days as the amount actually received for calendar year
1983 has to the number of days that such firefighters relief association
was in existence during calendar year 1983, subject to adjustments pur-
suant to subsection (c)(6) for redeterminations based upon changed cir-
cumstances.

      (5) Whenever a firefighters relief association is to receive a payment
under subsection (c)(4) but did not receive a payment from any of the
taxes collected for calendar year 1983, the commissioner of insurance
shall determine for the nonreceiving association, from such information
as is made available to the commissioner by the nonreceiving association,
the amount the nonreceiving association would most probably have re-
ceived if it had actually received such a payment from the taxes collected
for all of calendar year 1983, with appropriate adjustments based on pay-
ments to firefighters relief associations of fire departments providing fire
protection services within geographic areas having similar populations and
assessed tangible property valuation as the geographic area provided fire
protection services by the fire department of each such nonreceiving as-
sociation. The commissioner shall make such determination as follows:

      (A) One-half of the amount due shall be determined based upon the
population figure provided by the association pursuant to administrative
rules and regulations adopted by the commissioner. The determination
of this 1/2 of the amount due shall be made in accordance with the fol-
lowing formula:

      (i) An association which received a payment from the taxes collected
for all of calendar year 1983 and which has a population similar to that
of the nonreceiving association shall be ascertained;

      (ii) the payment the comparable association received from taxes col-
lected for all of calendar year 1983 shall be divided by two;

      (iii) the population of the area served by the nonreceiving association
shall be divided by the population of the area served by the association
to which the nonreceiving association is being compared, to produce an
adjustment factor reflecting the variance in population size; and

      (iv) the amount received from taxes collected for all of calendar year
1983 by the association with the comparable population shall be multi-
plied by the population adjustment factor obtained in paragraph (iii) of
this subsection (c)(5)(A).

      (B) The remaining 1/2 of the amount due shall be determined based
upon the assessed tangible property valuation figure provided by the non-
receiving association pursuant to administrative rules and regulations
adopted by the commissioner. The determination of the remaining 1/2 of
the amount due shall be made in accordance with the following formula:

      (i) An association which received a payment from the taxes collected
for all of calendar year 1983 and which has an assessed tangible property
valuation as of November 1, 1989, similar to that of the nonreceiving
association shall be ascertained;

      (ii) the payment the comparable association received from taxes col-
lected for all of calendar year 1983 shall be divided by two;

      (iii) the assessed tangible property valuation of the area served by the
nonreceiving association shall be divided by the assessed tangible property
valuation of the area served by the association to which the nonreceiving
association is being compared, to produce an adjustment factor reflecting
the variance in assessed tangible property valuation; and

      (iv) the amount received from taxes collected for all of calendar year
1983 by the association with the comparable assessed tangible property
valuation shall be multiplied by the valuation adjustment factor obtained
in paragraph (iii) of this subsection (c)(5)(B).

      (C) The amount obtained in paragraph (iv) of subsection (c)(5)(A)
shall be added to the amount obtained in paragraph (iv) of subsection
(c)(5)(B) to determine the total amount the nonreceiving association most
probably would have received if it had actually received a payment from
the taxes collected for all of calendar year 1983. The amount a nonre-
ceiving association most probably would have received if it had actually
received a payment from taxes collected for all of calendar year 1983 shall
be divided by the total amount paid to all firefighters relief associations
from the taxes collected for all of calendar year 1983 to determine the
proportionate amount due the nonreceiving association for the current
and succeeding years and thereafter such association shall not be consid-
ered to be a nonreceiving association. The commissioner of insurance
shall include the amount so determined within the computations pre-
scribed by subsection (c)(4) for payments thereunder.

      (6) One or more firefighters relief associations may apply, prior to
October 1 of any year, to the commissioner of insurance for a redeter-
mination of the proportionate amounts payable to all firefighters relief
associations under subsection (c)(4) and, upon receipt of such application,
the commissioner of insurance shall hold one joint hearing in accordance
with the provisions of the Kansas administrative procedure act prior to
December 1 of such year, at which all applicants shall be heard and may
present information. The commissioner of insurance may redetermine
such proportionate amounts based upon such information as is presented
to or otherwise made available by the applicants to the commissioner and
may make a finding of changed circumstances. However, increases in the
assessed tangible property valuation resulting from a statewide reappraisal
conducted pursuant to K.S.A. 79-1476 et seq., and amendments thereto,
shall not constitute a changed circumstance. Upon making such finding,
the commissioner of insurance may include such redetermination within
the computations prescribed by subsection (c)(4) for payments in sub-
sequent years. Any increase or reduction in the amounts to be distributed
as a result of a finding of changed circumstances by the commissioner
shall be proportionately distributed among all firefighters relief associa-
tions. An application for redetermination shall not be made by any fire-
fighters relief association more often than once every three years, but this
restriction shall not apply with respect to applications for redetermination
submitted in calendar year 1989 that were based in whole or in part on
an increase in the assessed tangible property valuation resulting from
statewide reappraisal.

      (d) Except as otherwise provided in this section, whenever any fire-
fighters relief association fails to qualify for funds, as provided in the
firefighters relief act, for a period of two consecutive years, the funds on
deposit with such association shall be returned by the district or county
attorney to the commissioner of insurance. The commissioner of insur-
ance shall remit all such funds to the state treasurer in accordance with
the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon receipt
of any each such remittance, the state treasurer shall deposit the entire
amount thereof in the state treasury to the credit of the state firefighters
relief fund. The commissioner of insurance shall pay such amount of
funds to the Kansas state firefighters association, inc. for fire prevention
and fire extinguishment education and study.

      (e) When a firefighters relief association fails to qualify for payments
under the firefighters relief act as a result of the territory which it serves
being consolidated, merged or annexed with another governmental unit
having a qualified firefighters relief association, the funds and obligations
of such disqualified association shall be transferred to the surviving fire-
fighters relief association and the disqualified association shall dissolve
forthwith under the existing laws of this state.

      (f) When any firefighter, the spouse of such firefighter or those de-
pendent upon any member of a disqualified association is receiving rea-
sonable benefits from such association at the time of disqualification, the
benefits shall be continued in accordance with the resolution of such
disqualified association and shall be paid by the surviving association if
the disqualification resulted from consolidation, merger or annexation
and shall be paid by the district or county attorney if disqualification
resulted from reasons other than consolidation, merger or annexation.
Nothing in the firefighters relief act shall be construed as a bar to the
lawful receipt of such benefits.

      (g) The treasurer of a firefighters relief association shall give bond
for the safekeeping of funds received under the firefighters relief act and
for faithful performance in such sum with such sureties as may be ap-
proved by the governing body of such city, township, county or fire dis-
trict. All the moneys so received shall be set apart and used by the fire-
fighters relief association of such cities, townships, counties or fire
districts solely and entirely for the objects and purposes of the firefighters
relief act and shall be paid to and distributed by the firefighters relief
associations of such cities, townships, counties or fire districts under such
provisions as shall be made by the governing body thereof. All such ex-
penditures or payments shall be subject to the continued availability of
moneys distributed to the association from the tax imposed by K.S.A. 40-
1703, and amendments thereto, in amounts sufficient for such expendi-
tures. In all cases involving expenditures or payments in an amount of
$1,500 or more prior certification shall be obtained from an attorney
designated by the governing body of the city, township, county or fire
district that such expenditure or payment complies with the requirements
of the firefighters relief act.

      (h) The officers of a firefighters relief association may invest any
amount, not to exceed 90% of all such moneys, in investments authorized
by K.S.A. 12-1675, and amendments thereto, in the manner prescribed
therein or in purchasing bonds of the city, township, county or fire district
in which such firefighters relief association is located. When such invest-
ments are not obtainable, United States government bonds may be pur-
chased or municipal bonds or other obligations issued by any municipality
of the state of Kansas as defined in K.S.A. 10-1101, and amendments
thereto, which are general obligations of the municipality issuing the
same. Such investment shall be approved by the governing body of such
city, township, county or fire district.

      Sec.  116. K.S.A. 40-2120 is hereby amended to read as follows: 40-
2120. (a) The board shall select an insurer or third-party administrator to
administer the plan. The board shall evaluate bids submitted by interested
parties based on criteria established by the board which shall include:

      (1) The bidder's proven ability to handle individual accident and
health insurance;

      (2) the efficiency of the bidder's claim paying procedure;

      (3) an estimate of total charges for administering the plan; and

      (4) the bidder's ability to administer the plan in a cost efficient man-
ner.

      (b) The administering carrier so selected shall serve for a period of
three years subject to removal for cause. At least one year prior to the
expiration of each three-year period of service, the board shall invite all
interested parties, including the current administering carrier, to submit
bids to serve as the administering carrier for the succeeding three-year
period. Selection of the administering carrier for the succeeding period
shall be made at least six months prior to the end of the current three-
year period. The administering carrier shall be paid as provided in the
plan of operation.

      (c) The administering carrier shall perform all administrative, eligi-
bility and administrative claims payment functions relating to the plan,
including:

      (1) Establishing a billing procedure for collection of premiums from
insured persons. Billings shall be made on a periodic basis as determined
by the board, which shall not be more frequent than a monthly billing;

      (2) performing all necessary functions to assure timely payment of
benefits to covered persons under the plan including making available
information relating to the proper manner of submitting a claim for ben-
efits to the plan, distributing forms upon which submission shall be made
and evaluating the eligibility of each claim for payment under the plan;

      (3) accepting payments of premiums from insured persons and trans-
mitting remitting such payments to the state treasurer for in accordance
with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon
receipt of each such remittance, the state treasurer shall deposit the entire
amount in the state treasury to the credit to of the uninsurable health
insurance plan fund established in K.S.A. 40-2126, and amendments
thereto;

      (4) submitting regular reports to the board regarding the operation
of the plan. The frequency, content and form of the reports shall be as
determined by the board;

      (5) determining net written and earned premiums, the expense of
administration, and the paid and incurred losses for each year and re-
porting such information to the board and the commissioner in a form
and manner prescribed by the commissioner.

      Sec.  117. K.S.A. 40-2251 is hereby amended to read as follows: 40-
2251. (a) The commissioner of insurance shall develop or approve statis-
tical plans which shall be used by each insurer in the recording and re-
porting of its premium, accident and sickness insurance loss and expense
experience, in order that the experience of all insurers may be made
available at least annually in such form and detail as may be necessary to
aid the commissioner and other interested parties in determining whether
rates and rating systems utilized by insurance companies, mutual non-
profit hospital and medical service corporations, health maintenance or-
ganizations and other entities designated by the commissioner produce
premiums and subscriber charges for accident and sickness insurance
coverage on Kansas residents, employers and employees that are reason-
able in relation to the benefits provided and to identify any accident and
sickness insurance benefits or provisions that may be unduly influencing
the cost. Such plans may also provide for the recording and reporting of
expense experience items which are specifically applicable to the state.
In promulgating such plans, the commissioner shall give due considera-
tion to the rating systems, classification criteria and insurance and sub-
scriber plans on file with the commissioner and, in order that such plans
may be as uniform as is practicable among the several states, to the form
of the plans and rating systems in other states.

      (b) The secretary of health and environment, as administrator of the
health care database, pursuant to K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 65-6804, and amend-
ments thereto, shall serve as the statistical agent for the purpose of gath-
ering, receiving and compiling the data required by the statistical plan or
plans developed or approved under this section. The commissioner of
insurance shall make an assessment upon the reporting insurance com-
panies, health maintenance organizations, group self-funded pools, and
other reporting entities sufficient to cover the anticipated expenses to be
incurred by the secretary in gathering, receiving and compiling such data.
Such assessment shall be in the form of an annual fee established by the
secretary and charged to each reporting entity in proportion to such en-
tity's respective shares of total health insurance premiums, subscriber
charges and member fees received during the preceding calendar year.
Such assessments shall be paid to the secretary and the secretary shall
remit such fees to the state treasurer in accordance with the provisions of
K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such re-
mittance, the state treasurer shall deposit the same entire amount in the
state treasury and it shall be credited to the credit of the insurance sta-
tistical plan fund. Compilations of aggregate data gathered under the
statistical plan or plans required by this act shall be made available to
insurers, trade associations and other interested parties.

      (c) The secretary, in writing, shall report to the commissioner of in-
surance any insurance company, health maintenance organization, group
self-funded pool, nonprofit hospital and medical service corporation and
any other reporting entity which fails to report the information required
in the form, manner or time prescribed by the secretary. Upon receipt
of such report, the commissioner of insurance shall impose an appropriate
penalty in accordance with K.S.A. 40-2,125, and amendments thereto.

      Sec.  118. K.S.A. 40-2305 is hereby amended to read as follows: 40-
2305. (a) Each political subdivision of the state is hereby authorized to
submit for approval by the state agency a plan for extending or modifying
the benefits of title II of the social security act, in conformity with the
applicable provisions of such act, to employees, including any holding the
office or position of policeman or fireman, of such political subdivisions.
Whenever the governor certifies to the secretary of health and human
services that, as a result of a referendum held pursuant to subsection (b)
of K.S.A. 40-2305a, and amendments thereto, school employees who are
covered by the state system for retirement and payment of annuities to
school employees as provided for in article 55 of chapter 72 of the Kansas
Statutes Annotated, and amendments thereto, the conditions specified in
section 218(d)(3) of the social security act have been met with respect to
such employees under such separate retirement system, the state agency
shall adopt a plan or amend a plan for extending such benefits to school
employees, as defined in subsection (d) of K.S.A. 72-5501, and amend-
ments thereto, of every political subdivision and such political subdivision,
and its employees shall be liable under such plan or amended plan to the
same extent as if the political subdivision had submitted the plan and the
same had been approved by the state agency. Each such plan and any
amendment thereof shall be approved by the state agency if it finds that
such plan, or such plan as amended, is in conformity with such require-
ments as are provided in regulations of the state agency, except that no
such plan shall be approved unless: (1) It is in conformity with the require-
ments of the federal social security act and with the agreement entered
into pursuant to K.S.A. 40-2303, and amendments thereto; (2) it provides
that all services which constitute employment as defined in subsection
(b) of K.S.A. 40-2302, and amendments thereto, and are performed in
the employ of the political subdivision by employees thereof, including
any holding the office or position of policeman or fireman, shall be cov-
ered by the plan, except that it may exclude services performed by other
individuals to whom section 218(c)(3)(C) of the federal social security act
is applicable; (3) it specifies the source or sources from which the funds
necessary to make the payments required by paragraph (1) of subsection
(c) of this section and by subsection (d) of this section are expected to be
derived and contains reasonable assurance that such sources will be ad-
equate for such purpose; (4) it provides for such methods of administra-
tion of the plan by the political subdivision as are found by the state
agency to be necessary for the proper and efficient administration of the
plan; (5) it provides that the political subdivision will make such reports,
in such form and containing such information, as the state agency may
from time to time require, and comply with such provisions as the state
agency or the secretary of health and human services may from time to
time find necessary to assure the correctness and verification of such
reports; and (6) it authorizes the state agency to terminate the plan in its
entirety, in the discretion of the state agency, if it finds there has been a
failure to comply substantially with any provision contained in such plan,
such termination to take effect at the expiration of such notice and on
such conditions as may be provided by regulations of the state agency and
may be consistent with the provisions of the social security act.

      (b) The state agency shall not finally refuse to approve a plan sub-
mitted by a political subdivision under subsection (a) of this section, and
shall not terminate an approved plan, without reasonable notice and op-
portunity for hearing to the political subdivision affected thereby. Hear-
ings under this subsection shall be conducted in accordance with the
provisions of the Kansas administrative procedure act.

      (c)  (1) Each political subdivision as to which a plan has been ap-
proved under this section shall pay into the contribution fund, with re-
spect to wages, as defined in subsection (a) of K.S.A. 40-2302, and amend-
ments thereto, at such time or times as the state agency may by regulation
prescribe, contributions in the amounts and at the rates specified in the
applicable agreement entered into by the state agency under K.S.A. 40-
2303, and amendments thereto. Delinquent contributions shall be subject
to a late penalty to defray the costs of the collection efforts in the amount
of $10 for each contribution period. All moneys received for the late
penalty imposed by this paragraph (1) of subsection (c) shall be deposited
remitted to the state treasurer in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A.
75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance,
the state treasurer shall deposit the entire amount in the state treasury
and credited to the credit of the municipal accounting services recovery
fund.

      (2) Each political subdivision required to make payments under par-
agraph (1) of this subsection (c) is authorized, in consideration of the
employee's retention in, or entry upon, employment after enactment of
this act, to impose upon each of its employees, as to services which are
covered by an approved plan, a contribution with respect to such em-
ployee's wages, as defined in subsection (a) of K.S.A. 40-2302, and
amendments thereto, not exceeding the amount of the employee tax
which would be imposed by the federal insurance contributions act if
such services constituted employment within the meaning of that act, and
to deduct the amount of such contribution from such employee's wages
as and when paid. Contributions so collected shall be paid into the con-
tribution fund in partial discharge of the liability of such political subdi-
vision or instrumentality under paragraph (1) of this subsection (c). Fail-
ure to deduct such contribution shall not relieve the employee or
employer of liability therefor.

      (d) Delinquent payments due under paragraph (1) of subsection (c)
of this section may, with interest at the rate prescribed by federal statute
or regulation for delinquent social security remittances, be recovered by
the state agency by action in a court of competent jurisdiction against the
political subdivision liable therefor or may, at the request of the state
agency, be deducted from any other moneys payable to such subdivision
by any department or agency of the state or may be offset against any
funds of the subdivision held by the county treasurer upon certification
by the state agency of such liability to the officials of the subdivision and
to the county treasurer. Upon receipt of the state agency's certification,
the county treasurer shall remit from the funds of such political subdi-
vision the amount certified. The county treasurer shall notify the subdi-
vision of the amount remitted to the state agency.

      (e) Each political subdivision, other than an instrumentality of the
state, shall pay its contributions required under the provisions of subsec-
tion (c) of this section from the same fund that the wages for which such
contribution is made are paid or from any other funds available to it for
such purpose. Each political subdivision, except an instrumentality of the
state or a school district, which is by law authorized to levy taxes for other
purposes, annually at the time of its levy of taxes for other purposes, may
levy a tax, which may be in addition to all other taxes authorized by law,
for the purpose of making its contributions under subsection (c) of this
section and, in the case of cities and counties, to pay a portion of the
principal and interest on bonds issued under the authority of K.S.A. 12-
1774, and amendments thereto, by cities located in the county, which tax
together with any other funds available to such political subdivision for
such purpose shall be sufficient to enable it to make such contributions.
Any taxing subdivision authorized to levy a tax under this subsection, in
lieu of levying such tax, may pay the required employer contribution from
any employee benefits contribution fund established pursuant to K.S.A.
12-16,102, and amendments thereto. All contributions of such political
subdivisions shall be transmitted to the state agency in the manner as the
state agency shall by rules and regulations provide, and, upon receipt of
the same, the state agency shall remit such contributions to the state
treasurer, in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and
amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance, the state trea-
surer shall deposit the same entire amount in the state treasury and the
state treasurer shall credit the same to the credit of the contribution fund
created by K.S.A. 40-2307, and amendments thereto.

      Sec.  119. K.S.A. 40-2306 is hereby amended to read as follows: 40-
2306. (a) Each department, commission, board, institution, bureau, of-
fice, officer or other employing unit or instrumentality of the state shall

subsection (a) of K.S.A. 40-2302, and amendments thereto, of its em-
ployees which are paid from fees or other income except from direct
appropriations from the state general fund, equal to the taxes which would
be imposed by the federal insurance contributions act if the services for
which such wages were paid constituted employment within the meaning
of that act. Such contributions shall be transmitted to the state agency in
the manner as the state agency shall, by rules and regulations, provide,
and upon receipt of the same, the state agency shall remit such contri-
butions to the state treasurer in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A.
75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance,
the state treasurer shall deposit the same entire amount in the state treas-
ury and the state treasurer shall credit the same to the credit of the con-
tribution fund created by K.S.A. 40-2307, and amendments thereto.

      (b) Contributions with respect to wages, as defined in subsection (a)
of K.S.A. 40-2302, and amendments thereto, of employees of the state or
an instrumentality of the state which wages are paid from direct appro-
priations from the state general fund, equal to the taxes which would be
imposed by the federal insurance contributions act if the services for
which such wages were paid constituted employment within the meaning
of that act shall be paid or transferred by the state agency to the contri-
bution fund created by K.S.A. 40-2307, and amendments thereto, from
the ``old-age insurance fund'' in the state treasury, which fund is hereby
created for use by the state agency for such purposes and such transfer
of funds shall be made by the state treasurer upon order of the state
agency transmitted to the state treasurer and the director of accounts and
reports and upon receipt of such order said the state treasurer and direc-
tor of accounts and reports shall make the proper changes in the records
of their respective offices.

      (c) If any employing unit or instrumentality of this state, due to a
shortage of funds; is unable to make the contributions required by sub-
section (a) of this section, the state agency may advance funds to such
employing unit or instrumentality for such purpose from the old-age in-
surance fund created by subsection (b) of this section upon such terms
and conditions as shall be agreed upon by the state agency and said the
employing unit or instrumentality.

      (d) If the amount of funds in the contribution fund or the old-age
insurance fund are insufficient to make payments required to be made
by the state to the secretary of the treasury, any department, commission,
board or other agency of the state, which is supported in whole or in part
from fees, may advance money from its fee funds to the state agency
upon such terms and conditions as shall be agreed upon by such depart-
ment, commission, board or other agency of the state with the state
agency for the purpose of making such payments to the secretary of the
treasury.

month, and the state treasurer shall credit the same to the credit of the
state general fund.

      Sec.  121. K.S.A. 40-2906a is hereby amended to read as follows: 40-

      Sec.  122. K.S.A. 40-3016 is hereby amended to read as follows: 40-
3016. (a) Unless a longer period has been allowed by the commissioner,
a member insurer shall at its option have the right to show a certificate

      Sec.  123. K.S.A. 40-3118 is hereby amended to read as follows: 40-
3118. (a) No motor vehicle shall be registered or reregistered in this state
unless the owner, at the time of registration, has in effect a policy of
motor vehicle liability insurance covering such motor vehicle, as provided
in this act, or is a self-insurer thereof, or the motor vehicle is used as a
driver training motor vehicle, as defined in K.S.A. 72-5015, and amend-
ments thereto, in an approved driver training course by a school district
or an accredited nonpublic school under an agreement with a motor ve-
hicle dealer, and such policy of motor vehicle liability insurance is pro-
vided by the school district or accredited nonpublic school. As used in
this section, the term ``financial security'' means such policy or self-in-
surance. The director shall require that the owner certify and provide
verification of financial security, in the manner prescribed by K.S.A. 8-
173, and amendments thereto, that the owner has such financial security,
and the owner of each motor vehicle registered in this state shall maintain
financial security continuously throughout the period of registration. In
addition, when an owner certifies that such financial security is a motor
vehicle liability insurance policy meeting the requirements of this act, the
director may require that the owner or owner's insurance company pro-
duce records to prove the fact that such insurance was in effect at the
time the vehicle was registered and has been maintained continuously
from that date. Failure to produce such records shall be prima facie ev-
idence that no financial security exists with regard to the vehicle con-
cerned. It shall be the duty of insurance companies, upon the request of
the director, to notify the director within 30 calendar days of the date of
the receipt of such request by the director of any insurance that was not
in effect on the date of registration and maintained continuously from
that date.

      (b) Except as otherwise provided in K.S.A. 40-276, 40-276a and 40-
277, and amendments thereto, and except for termination of insurance
resulting from nonpayment of premium or upon the request for cancel-
lation by the insured, no motor vehicle liability insurance policy, or any
renewal thereof, shall be terminated by cancellation or failure to renew
by the insurer until at least 30 days after mailing a notice of termination,
by certified or registered mail or United States post office certificate of
mailing, to the named insured at the latest address filed with the insurer
by or on behalf of the insured. Time of the effective date and hour of
termination stated in the notice shall become the end of the policy period.
Every such notice of termination sent to the insured for any cause what-
soever shall include on the face of the notice a statement that financial
security for every motor vehicle covered by the policy is required to be
maintained continuously throughout the registration period, that the op-
eration of any such motor vehicle without maintaining continuous finan-
cial security therefor is a class B misdemeanor and shall be subject to a
fine of not less than $300 and not more than $1,000 and that the regis-
tration for any such motor vehicle for which continuous financial security
is not provided is subject to suspension and the driver's license of the
owner thereof is subject to suspension.

      (c) The director of vehicles shall verify a sufficient number of insur-
ance certifications each calendar year as the director deems necessary to
insure compliance with the provisions of this act. The owner or owner's
insurance company shall verify the accuracy of any owner's certification
upon request, as provided in subsection (a).

      (d) In addition to any other requirements of this act, the director shall
require a person to acquire insurance and for such person's insurance
company to maintain on file with the division evidence of such insurance
for a period of one year when a person has been convicted in this or
another state of any of the violations enumerated in K.S.A. 8-285, and
amendments thereto.

      The director shall also require any driver whose driving privileges have
been suspended pursuant to this section to maintain such evidence of
insurance as required above.

      The company of the insured shall immediately mail notice to the di-
rector whenever any policy required by this subsection to be on file with
the division is terminated by the insured or the insurer for any reason.
The receipt by the director of such termination shall be prima facie evi-
dence that no financial security exists with regard to the person con-
cerned.

      No cancellation notice shall be sent to the director if the insured adds
or deletes a vehicle, adds or deletes a driver, renews a policy or is issued
a new policy by the same company. No cancellation notice shall be sent
to the director prior to the date the policy is terminated if the company
allows a grace period for payment until such grace period has expired and
the policy is actually terminated.

      For the purposes of this act, the term ``conviction'' includes pleading
guilty or nolo contendere, being convicted or being found guilty of any
violation enumerated in this subsection without regard to whether sen-
tence was suspended or probation granted. A forfeiture of bail, bond or
collateral deposited to secure a defendant's appearance in court, which
forfeiture has not been vacated, shall be equivalent to a conviction.

      The requirements of this subsection shall apply whether or not such
person owns a motor vehicle.

      (e) Whenever the director shall receive prima facie evidence, as pre-
scribed by this section, that continuous financial security covering any
motor vehicle registered in this state is not in effect, the director shall
notify the owner by registered or certified mail or United States post
office certificate of mailing that, at the end of 30 days after the notice is
mailed, the registration for such motor vehicle and the driving privileges
of the owner of the vehicle shall be suspended or revoked, pursuant to
such rules and regulations as the secretary of revenue shall adopt, unless
within 10 days after the notice is mailed: (1) Such owner shall demonstrate
proof of continuous financial security covering such vehicle to the satis-
faction of the director; or (2) such owner shall mail a written request
which is postmarked within 10 days after the notice is mailed requesting
a hearing with the director. Upon receipt of a timely request for a hearing,
the director shall afford such person an opportunity for hearing within
the time and in the manner provided in K.S.A. 8-255, and amendments
thereto. If, within the ten-day period or at the hearing, such owner is
unable to demonstrate proof of continuous financial security covering the
motor vehicle in question, the director shall revoke the registration of
such motor vehicle and suspend the driving privileges of the owner of
the vehicle.

      (f) Whenever the registration of a motor vehicle or the driving priv-
ileges of the owner of the vehicle are suspended or revoked for failure of
the owner to maintain continuous financial security, such suspension or
revocation shall remain in effect until satisfactory proof of insurance has
been filed with the director as required by subsection (d) and a reinstate-
ment fee in the amount herein prescribed is paid to the division of ve-
hicles. Such reinstatement fee shall be in the amount of $100 except that
if the registration of a motor vehicle of any owner is revoked within one
year following a prior revocation of the registration of a motor vehicle of
such owner under the provisions of this act such fee shall be in the amount
of $300. The division of vehicles shall, at least monthly, deposit remit such
fees with to the state treasurer, who shall credit such moneys in accord-
ance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments thereto.
Upon receipt of each such remittance, the state treasurer shall deposit the
entire amount in the state treasury to the credit of the state highway fund.

      (g) In no case shall any motor vehicle, the registration of which has
been revoked for failure to have continuous financial security, be rere-
gistered in the name of the owner thereof, the owner's spouse, parent or
child or any member of the same household, until the owner complies
with subsection (f). In the event the registration plate has expired, no new
plate shall be issued until the motor vehicle owner complies with the
reinstatement requirements as required by this act.

      (h) Evidence that an owner of a motor vehicle, registered or required
to be registered in this state, has operated or permitted such motor ve-
hicle to be operated in this state without having in force and effect the
financial security required by this act for such vehicle, together with proof
of records of the division of vehicles indicating that the owner did not
have such financial security, shall be prima facie evidence that the owner
did at the time and place alleged, operate or permit such motor vehicle
to be operated without having in full force and effect financial security
required by the provisions of this act.

      (i) Any owner of a motor vehicle registered or required to be regis-
tered in this state who shall make a false certification concerning financial
security for the operation of such motor vehicle as required by this act,
shall be guilty of a class A misdemeanor. Any person, firm or corporation
giving false information to the director concerning another's financial se-
curity for the operation of a motor vehicle registered or required to be
registered in this state, knowing or having reason to believe that such
information is false, shall be guilty of a class A misdemeanor.

      (j) The director shall administer and enforce the provisions of this act
relating to the registration of motor vehicles, and the secretary of revenue
shall adopt such rules and regulations as may be necessary for its admin-
istration.

      (k) Whenever any person has made application for insurance cover-
age and such applicant has submitted payment or partial payment with
such application, the insurance company, if payment accompanied the
application and if insurance coverage is denied, shall refund the unearned
portion of the payment to the applicant or agent with the notice of denial
of coverage. If payment did not accompany the application to the insur-
ance company but was made to the agent, the agent shall refund the
unearned portion of the payment to the applicant upon receipt of the
company's notice of denial.

      (l) For the purpose of this act, ``declination of insurance coverage''
means a final denial, in whole or in part, by an insurance company or
agent of requested insurance coverage.

      Sec.  124. K.S.A. 40-3213 is hereby amended to read as follows: 40-

or any other term which may be used to describe the charges made by
such organization to enrollees; and after operating for a period of more
than five years from the time of organization a health maintenance or-
ganization shall pay annually to the commissioner at the time such organ-
ization files its annual report, a privilege fee in an amount equal to one
percent (1%) 1% per annum of the total of all premiums, subscription
charges or any other term which may be used to describe the charges
made by such organization to enrollees. In such computations all such
organizations shall be entitled to deduct therefrom any premiums or sub-
scription charges returned on account of cancellations and dividends re-
turned to enrollees. If the commissioner shall determine at any time that
the application of the privilege fee would cause a denial of, reduction in
or elimination of federal financial assistance to the state or to any health
maintenance organization subject to this act, the commissioner is hereby
authorized to terminate the operation of such privilege fee.

      (c) For the purpose of insuring the collection of the privilege fee
provided for by subsection (b), every health maintenance organization

its chief officer or principal managing director, to the commissioner, stat-
ing the amount of all premiums, assessments and charges received by the
health maintenance organization, whether in cash or notes, during the

receipt of such returns the commissioner of insurance shall verify the
same and assess the fees upon such organization on the basis and at the
rate provided herein and such fees shall thereupon become due and pay-
able.

      (d) Premiums or other charges received by an insurance company

act shall not be subject to any fee or tax imposed under the provisions of
K.S.A. 40-252, and amendments thereto.

deposit the entire amount in the state treasury and credited to the credit
of the workers compensation fund.

      (h)  (1) Every insurance carrier writing workers' workers compensa-
tion insurance for any employment covered under the workers compen-
sation act shall file, with the director or the director's designee, written
notice of the issuance, nonrenewal or cancellation of a policy or contract
of insurance, or any endorsement, providing workers compensation cov-
erage, within 10 days after such issuance, nonrenewal or cancellation.
Every such insurance carrier shall file, with the director, written notice
of all such policies, contracts and endorsements in force on the effective
date of this act.

      (2) Every employer covered by the workers compensation act who is
a qualified self-insurer shall give written notice to the director or the
director's designee, if such employer changes from a self-insurer status
to insuring through an insurance carrier or by maintaining a membership
in a qualified group-funded workers compensation pool, such notice to

      (i) As used in this section, ``qualified group-funded workers compen-
sation pool'' means any qualified group-funded workers compensation
pool under K.S.A. 44-581 through 44-591, and amendments thereto, or
any group-funded pool under the Kansas municipal group-funded pool
act which includes workers compensation and employers' liability under
the workers compensation act.

      (j) A private firm shall not be eligible to apply to become a self-insurer
unless it has been in continuous operation for at least five years or is

operation of the purchased firm, plant or facility: (1) Has been in contin-
uous operation in Kansas for at least 10 years; (2) has generated an after-
tax profit of at least $1,000,000 annually for the preceding three consec-
utive years; and (3) has a ratio of debt to equity of not greater than 3.5
to 1. As used in this subsection, ``debt'' means the sum of long-term
borrowing maturing in excess of one year plus the current portion of long-
term borrowing plus short-term financial institution borrowing plus com-
mercial paper borrowing, and ``equity'' means the sum of the book value
of stock plus paid-in capital plus retained earnings. The method for cal-
culating the amount of security required of self-insureds shall be reviewed

these actuarial studies shall be paid from the workers compensation fee
fund.

      (k) A corporation or other entity whose current identity is attributable
to a merger or other transformation whereby the whole or a substantial
part of a previous entity's assets and income have been transferred to it,

ments of the director, which qualified under its previous identity as a self-
insurer under other provisions of this statute, and amendments thereto,
may apply for renewal as a self-insurer under its new name. The director
may grant the application for renewal if satisfied that the new entity meets
all necessary financial criteria for renewal that would have been applied
to the previous self-insured entity. An application under these provisions
shall be limited to an entity seeking renewal based upon the prior self-
insured status of another entity or entities.

      Sec.  137. K.S.A. 44-566a is hereby amended to read as follows: 44-
566a. (a) There is hereby created in the state treasury the workers com-
pensation fund. The commissioner of insurance shall be responsible for
administering the workers compensation fund, and all payments from the
workers compensation fund shall be upon warrants of the director of
accounts and reports issued pursuant to vouchers approved by the com-
missioner of insurance or a person or persons designated by the com-
missioner. The commissioner of insurance annually shall report to the
governor and the legislature the receipts and disbursements from the
workers compensation fund during the preceding fiscal year.

      (b)  (1) On June 1 of each year, the commissioner of insurance shall
impose an assessment against all insurance carriers, self-insurers and
group-funded workers compensation pools insuring the payment of com-
pensation under the workers compensation act, and the same shall be due
and payable to the commissioner on the following July 1, the proceeds of
which shall be credited to the workers compensation fund. The total
amount of each such assessment shall be equal to an amount sufficient,
in the opinion of the commissioner of insurance, to pay all amounts, in-
cluding attorney fees and costs, which may be required to be paid from
such fund during the current fiscal year, less the amount of the estimated
unencumbered balance in the workers compensation fund as of the June
30 immediately preceding the date the assessment is due and payable
under this section. The total amount of each such assessment shall be
apportioned among those upon whom it is imposed, such that each is
assessed an amount that bears the same relation to such total assessment
as the amount of money paid or payable in workers compensation claims
by such insurance carrier, self-insurer or group-funded workers compen-
sation pool in the immediately preceding calendar year bears to all such
claims paid or payable during such calendar year. The commissioner of
insurance may establish experience-based rates of assessments under this
subsection and make adjustments in the assessments imposed under this
subsection based on the success of accident prevention programs under
K.S.A. 44-5,104, and amendments thereto, and other employer safety
programs.

      (2) The commissioner of insurance shall remit all moneys received
by or for such commissioner under this subsection to the state treasurer
in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments
thereto. Upon receipt of any each such remittance, the state treasurer
shall deposit the entire amount thereof in the state treasury to the credit
of the workers compensation fund.

      (c)  (1) Whenever the workers compensation fund may be made lia-
ble for the payment of any amounts in proceedings under the workers
compensation act, the commissioner of insurance, in the capacity of ad-
ministrator of such fund, shall be impleaded in such proceedings and shall
represent and defend the workers compensation fund. The commissioner
of insurance shall be deemed impleaded in any such proceedings when-
ever written notice of the proceedings setting forth the nature of the
liability asserted against the workers compensation fund, is given to the
commissioner of insurance. The commissioner of insurance may be made
a party in this manner by any party to the proceedings. A copy of the
written notice shall be given to the director and to all other parties to the
proceedings.

      (2) The administrative law judge shall dismiss the workers compen-
sation fund from any proceeding where the administrative law judge has
determined that there is insufficient evidence to indicate involvement by
the workers compensation fund.

      (3) In any case in which the workers compensation fund has been
impleaded by the employer or insurance carrier and where an award has
been entered deciding all of the issues in the employee's claim against
the employer, but not deciding the issues between the employer and the
fund, the fund may file an application with the administrative law judge
requesting that the fund be dismissed from the case with prejudice. The
employer shall have a period of six months from the filing of the appli-
cation in which to complete the employer's evidence on the fund issues
and submit the case to the administrative law judge for decision. The
fund shall then have a period of 60 days after the submission of the
employer's evidence to submit its own evidence concerning the fund is-
sues in the case. If the employer fails to do so, the administrative law
judge shall dismiss the fund from the case with prejudice on the judge's
own motion.

      (d) The commissioner of insurance, in the capacity of administrator
of the workers compensation fund, may make settlements of any amounts
which may be payable from the workers compensation fund with regard
to any claim under the workers compensation act, subject to the approval
of the director.

      (e) The workers compensation fund shall be liable for:

      (1) Payment of awards to handicapped employees in accordance with
the provisions of K.S.A. 44-569, and amendments thereto, for claims aris-
ing prior to July 1, 1994;

      (2) payment of workers compensation benefits to an employee who
is unable to receive such benefits from such employee's employer under
the conditions prescribed by K.S.A. 44-532a, and amendments thereto;

      (3) reimbursement of an employer or insurance carrier pursuant to
the provisions of K.S.A. 44-534a, and amendments thereto, subsection
(d) of K.S.A. 44-556, and amendments thereto, subsection (c) of K.S.A.
44-569, and amendments thereto, and K.S.A. 44-569a, and amendments
thereto;

      (4) payment of the actual expenses of the commissioner of insurance
which are incurred for administering the workers compensation fund,
subject to the provisions of appropriations acts; and

      (5) any other payments or disbursements provided by law.

      (f) If it is determined that the workers compensation fund is not liable
as described in subsection (e), attorney fees incurred by the workers com-
pensation fund may be assessed against the party who has impleaded the
workers compensation fund other than impleadings pursuant to K.S.A.
44-532a, and amendments thereto.

      (g) The commissioner of insurance shall provide for the implemen-
tation of the workers compensation fund as provided in this section and
shall be responsible for ensuring the fund's adequacy to meet and pay
claims awarded against it.

      Sec.  138. K.S.A. 44-570 is hereby amended to read as follows: 44-
570. (a) In the event that subsection (d) of K.S.A. 44-510b, and amend-
ments thereto, is inapplicable, every employer in the state of Kansas op-
erating a trade or business under the provisions of the workers
compensation act shall pay within 30 days after the award is made the
sum of $18,500 to the commissioner of insurance in every case where
death results from the accident and where there are no dependents who
are entitled to compensation under the workers compensation act.

      (b) The commissioner of insurance shall remit all moneys received
under this section to the state treasurer in accordance with the provisions
of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of any each
such remittance, the state treasurer shall deposit the entire amount
thereof in the state treasury to the credit of the workers' compensation
fund.

      (c) Upon rendering an award under this section, the director shall
transmit immediately a certified copy thereof to the commissioner of
insurance. In case payment is, or has been made, under the provisions of
this section and dependency later is shown, or if payment is made by
mistake or inadvertence, or under such circumstances that justice re-
quires a refund thereof, the commissioner of insurance is hereby author-
ized to refund such payment to the employer, or if insured, to the em-
ployer's insurance carrier.

      Sec.  139. K.S.A. 44-575 is hereby amended to read as follows: 44-
575. (a) As used in K.S.A. 44-575 through 44-580, and amendments
thereto, ``state agency'' means the state, or any department or agency of
the state, but not including the Kansas turnpike authority, the university
of Kansas hospital authority, any political subdivision of the state or the
district court with regard to district court officers or employees whose
total salary is payable by counties.

      (b) For the purposes of providing for the payment of compensation
for claims arising on and after July 1, 1974, and all other amounts required
to be paid by any state agency as a self-insured employer under the work-
ers compensation act and any amendments or additions thereto, there is
hereby established the state workers compensation self-insurance fund in
the state treasury. The name of the state workmen's compensation self-
insurance fund is hereby changed to the state workers compensation self-
insurance fund. Whenever the state workmen's compensation self-insur-
ance fund is referred to or designated by any statute, contract or other
document, such reference or designation shall be deemed to apply to the
state workers compensation self-insurance fund.

      (c) The state workers compensation self-insurance fund shall be liable
to pay: (1) All compensation for claims arising on and after July 1, 1974,
and all other amounts required to be paid by any state agency as a self-
insured employer under the workers compensation act and any amend-
ments or additions thereto; (2) the amount that all state agencies are liable
to pay of the ``carrier's share of expense'' of the administration of the
office of the director of workers' compensation as provided in K.S.A. 74-
712 through 74-719, and amendments thereto, for each fiscal year; (3) all
compensation for claims remaining from the self-insurance program
which existed prior to July 1, 1974, for institutional employees of the
division of mental health and retardation services of the department of
social and rehabilitation services; (4) the cost of administering the state
workers compensation self-insurance fund including the defense of such
fund and any costs assessed to such fund in any proceeding to which it is
a party; and (5) the cost of establishing and operating the state workplace
health and safety program under subsection (f). For the purposes of
K.S.A. 44-575 through 44-580, and amendments thereto, all state agen-
cies are hereby deemed to be a single employer whose liabilities specified
in this section are hereby imposed solely upon the state workers com-
pensation self-insurance fund and such employer is hereby declared to
be a fully authorized and qualified self-insurer under K.S.A. 44-532, and
amendments thereto, but such employer shall not be required to make
any reports thereunder.

      (d) The secretary of administration shall administer the state workers
compensation self-insurance fund and all payments from such fund shall
be upon warrants of the director of accounts and reports issued pursuant
to vouchers approved by the secretary of administration or a person or
persons designated by the secretary. The director of accounts and reports
may issue warrants pursuant to vouchers approved by the secretary for
payments from the state workers compensation self-insurance fund not-
withstanding the fact that claims for such payments were not submitted
or processed for payment from money appropriated for the fiscal year in
which the state workers compensation self-insurance fund first became
liable to make such payments.

      (e) The secretary of administration shall remit all moneys received by
or for the secretary in the capacity as administrator of the state workers
compensation self-insurance fund, to the state treasurer in accordance
with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon
receipt of any each such remittance, the state treasurer shall deposit the
entire amount thereof in the state treasury to the credit of the state work-
ers compensation self-insurance fund.

      (f) There is hereby established the state workplace health and safety
program within the state workers compensation self-insurance program
of the department of administration. The secretary of administration shall

      (4) development and dissemination of health and safety informational
materials, plans, rules and work procedures; and

      (5) training for supervisors and employees in healthful and safe work
practices.

      Sec.  140. K.S.A. 44-587 is hereby amended to read as follows: 44-
587. The expense of the administration of the group-funded workers'
compensation pools shall be financed in the following manner:

      (a) There is hereby created in the state treasury a fund to be called
the group-funded workers' compensation pools fee fund. All amounts
which are required to be paid from the group compensation pools fee
fund for the operating expenditures incident to the administration of the
group-funded workers' compensation pools shall be paid from the group-
funded workers' compensation pools fee fund. The commissioner of in-
surance shall be responsible for administering the group-funded workers'
compensation pools fee fund and all payments from the fund shall be

of the group-funded workers' compensation pools for the fiscal year be-
ginning on July 1 thereafter. Not later than June 1 of each year, the
commissioner of insurance shall notify all such group-funded workers'
compensation pools of the amount of each assessment imposed under
this subsection on such group-funded workers' compensation pools and
the same shall be due and payable to the commissioner on the July 1
following.

      (c) The commissioner of insurance shall remit all moneys received by

of the group-funded workers' compensation pools fee fund.

      Sec.  141. K.S.A. 44-712 is hereby amended to read as follows: 44-
712. (a) Establishment and control. There is hereby established as a spe-
cial fund in the state treasury, separate and apart from all public moneys
or funds of this state, an employment security fund, which shall be ad-
ministered by the secretary as provided in this act. This fund shall consist
of: (1) All contributions collected under this act; (2) interest earned upon
any moneys in the fund; (3) all moneys credited to this state's account in
the federal unemployment trust fund, pursuant to section 903 of the social
security act, 42 U.S.C.A. §  1103, as amended; (4) any property or secu-
rities acquired through the use of moneys belonging to the fund, and all
other moneys received for the fund from any other source; (5) all earnings
of such property or securities. All moneys in this fund shall be mingled
and undivided.

      (b) Accounts and deposits. The state treasurer shall be ex officio cus-
todian of the fund. Payments from the fund, and for the purposes of this
act deposits with the secretary of the treasury of the United States shall
not be deemed to be payments from the fund, shall be made upon war-
rants drawn upon the state treasurer by the director of accounts and
reports upon vouchers approved by the secretary. There shall be main-
tained within the fund three separate accounts: (1) A clearing account;
(2) an unemployment trust fund account, and (3) a benefit account. All
money payable to the fund upon receipt thereof by the secretary, shall
be forwarded remitted to the state treasurer, who shall immediately in
accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments
thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance, the state treasurer shall
deposit them the entire amount in the state treasury to the credit of the
clearing account of the fund. Refunds payable pursuant to K.S.A. 44-717,
and amendments thereto, may be paid from the clearing account of the
fund by warrants drawn by the director of accounts and reports upon the
state treasurer upon vouchers approved by the secretary. After clearance
thereof, all other moneys in the clearing account of the fund shall be
immediately deposited with the secretary of the treasury of the United
States of America to the credit of the account of this state in the federal
unemployment trust fund established and maintained pursuant to section
904 of the social security act, 42 U.S.C.A.§  1104, as amended, any pro-
visions of law in this state relating to the deposit, administration, release,
or disbursement of moneys in the possession or custody of this state to
the contrary notwithstanding. The benefit account of the fund shall con-
sist of all moneys requisitioned from this state's account in the federal
unemployment trust fund. Except as herein otherwise provided, moneys
in the clearing and benefit accounts of the fund may be deposited by the
state treasurer in any bank or public depository as is now provided by law
for the deposit of general funds of the state, but no public deposit insur-
ance charge or premium shall be paid out of the fund. Moneys in the
clearing and benefit accounts of the fund shall not be commingled with
other state funds and shall be maintained in separate bank accounts.

      (c) Withdrawals. Moneys shall be requisitioned from this state's ac-
count in the federal unemployment trust fund solely for the payment of
benefits and in accordance with the provisions of this act and the rules
and regulations adopted by the secretary, except that moneys credited to
this state's account pursuant to section 903 of the social security act, 42
U.S.C.A. §  1103, as amended, shall be used exclusively as provided in
subsection (d) of this section. The secretary shall from time to time req-
uisition from the federal unemployment trust fund such amounts, not
exceeding the amounts standing to its account therein, as deemed nec-
essary for the payment of benefits for a reasonable future period. Upon
receipt thereof the state treasurer shall deposit such moneys in the benefit
account of the fund and warrants for the payment of benefits shall be
charged solely against such benefit account of the fund. Expenditures of
such moneys in the benefit account and refunds from the clearing account
of the fund shall not be subject to any provisions of law requiring specific
appropriations. Any balance of moneys requisitioned from the federal
unemployment trust fund which remains unclaimed or unpaid in the ben-
efit account of the fund after the expiration of the period for which such
sums were requisitioned shall either be deducted from estimates for, and
may be utilized for the payment of benefits during succeeding periods,
or, in the discretion of the secretary shall be directed to be redeposited
with the secretary of the treasury of the United States of America, to the
credit of this state's account in the federal unemployment trust fund, as
provided in subsection (b) of this section. All balances accrued from un-
paid or canceled warrants issued pursuant to this section, notwithstanding
the provisions of K.S.A. 10-812, and amendments thereto, shall remain
in the benefit account of the fund, and be disbursed in accordance with
the provisions of this act relating to such account.

      (d) Administrative use. (1) Money credited to the account of this state
in the federal unemployment trust fund by the secretary of the treasury
of the United States of America, pursuant to section 903 of the social
security act, 42 U.S.C.A. §  1103, as amended, may be requisitioned and
used for the payment of expenses incurred in the administration of this
act pursuant to a specific appropriation by the legislature, if expenses are
incurred and the money is requisitioned after the enactment of an ap-
propriation law which: (A) Specifies the purposes for which such money
is appropriated and the amounts appropriated therefor, (B) limits the
period within which such money may be obligated to a period ending not
more than two years after the date of the enactment of the appropriation
law, and (C) limits the amount which may be obligated during a twelve-
month period beginning on July 1 and ending on the next June 30 to an
amount which does not exceed the amount by which (i) the aggregate of
the amounts credited to the account of this state pursuant to section 903
of the social security act, 42 U.S.C.A.§  1103, as amended, (ii) the aggre-
gate of the amounts obligated pursuant to this subsection and amounts
paid out for benefits and charged against the amounts credited to the
account of this state. For the purposes of this subsection, amounts obli-
gated during any such twelve-month period shall be charged against
equivalent amounts which were first credited and which are not already
so charged.

      (2) Money credited to the account of this state pursuant to section
903 of the social security act, 42 U.S.C.A. §  1103, as amended, may not
be withdrawn or obligated except for the payment of benefits and for the
payment of expenses for the administration of this act and of public em-
ployment offices pursuant to this subsection (d).

      (3) Money appropriated as provided by this subsection (d) for the
payment of expenses of administration shall be requisitioned as needed
for the payment of obligations incurred under such appropriation and,
upon requisition shall be deposited in the state treasury to the credit of
the employment security administration fund from which such payments
shall be made. Money so deposited and credited shall, until expended,
remain a part of the federal unemployment trust fund, and, if it will not
be expended, shall be returned promptly to the account of this state in
the federal unemployment trust fund.

      (4) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), money credited with respect to
federal fiscal years 1999, 2000 and 2001, shall be used solely for the
administration of the UC program, and such money shall not otherwise
be subject to the requirements of paragraph (1) when appropriated by
the legislature.

      (e) Management of funds upon discontinuance of federal unemploy-
ment trust fund. The provisions of subsections (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this
section, to the extent that they relate to the federal unemployment trust
fund, shall be operative only so long as such unemployment trust fund
continues to exist and so long as the secretary of the treasury of the United
States of America continues to maintain for this state a separate book
account of all funds deposited therein by this state for benefit purposes,
together with this state's proportionate share of the earnings of such un-
employment trust fund, from which no other state is permitted to make
withdrawals. If and when such unemployment trust fund ceases to exist,
or such separate book account is no longer maintained, all moneys, prop-
erties or securities therein, belonging to the employment security fund
of this state, shall be transferred to the state treasurer, to be administered
by the secretary as a trust fund for the purpose of paying benefits under
this act, and the director of investments upon the direction of the sec-
retary shall have authority to hold, invest, transfer, sell, deposit, and re-
lease such moneys, and any properties, securities, or earnings acquired
as an incident to such administration.

      Sec.  142. K.S.A. 44-714 is hereby amended to read as follows: 44-
714. (a) Duties and powers of secretary. It shall be the duty of the sec-
retary to administer this act and the secretary shall have power and au-

come necessary to protect the solvency of the fund, the secretary shall
promptly so inform the governor and the legislature, and make recom-
mendations with respect thereto.

      (b) Publication. The secretary shall cause to be printed for distribu-
tion to the public the text of this act, the secretary's rules and regulations
and any other material the secretary deems relevant and suitable and shall
furnish the same to any person upon application therefor.

      (c) Personnel. (1) Subject to other provisions of this act, the secretary

law.

      (2) No employee engaged in the administration of the employment
security law shall directly or indirectly solicit or receive or be in any man-
ner concerned with soliciting or receiving any assistance, subscription or
contribution for any political party or political purpose, other than solic-
iting and receiving contributions for such person's personal campaign as
a candidate for a nonpartisan elective public office, nor shall any employee

of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000 or by imprisonment in the
county jail for not less than 30 days nor more than six months, or both.

      (d) Advisory councils. The secretary shall appoint a state employment
security advisory council and may appoint local advisory councils, com-
posed in each case of men and women which shall include an equal num-
ber of employer representatives and employee representatives who may
fairly be regarded as representative because of their vocation, employ-
ment, or affiliations, and of such members representing the general public
as the secretary may designate. Each such member shall serve a four-year
term. On July 1, 1996, the secretary shall designate term lengths for
seated members of the council. One-half of the seated members repre-
senting employers, 1/2 of the seated members representing employees and
1/2 of the members representing the general public shall be designated
by the secretary to serve two-year terms. The remaining seated members
of the council shall be designated to serve four-year terms. When the
term of any member expires, the secretary shall appoint the member's
successor to a four-year term. If a position on the council becomes vacant
prior to the expiration of the vacating member's term, the secretary may
appoint an otherwise qualified individual to fulfill the remainder of such
unexpired term. Such councils shall aid the secretary in formulating pol-
icies and discussing problems related to the administration of this act and
in securing impartiality and freedom from political influence in the so-
lution of such problems. Members of the state employment security ad-
visory council attending meetings of such council, or attending a subcom-
mittee meeting thereof authorized by such council, shall be paid amounts
provided in subsection (e) of K.S.A. 75-3223, and amendments thereto.
Service on the state employment security advisory council shall not in and
of itself be sufficient to cause any member of the state employment se-
curity advisory council to be classified as a state officer or employee.

      (e) Employment stabilization. The secretary, with the advice and aid
of the secretary's advisory councils and through the appropriate divisions
of the department of human resources, shall take all appropriate steps to
reduce and prevent unemployment; to encourage and assist in the adop-
tion of practical methods of vocational training, retraining and vocational
guidance; to investigate, recommend, advise, and assist in the establish-
ment and operation, by municipalities, counties, school districts and the
state, of reserves for public works to be used in time of business depres-
sion and unemployment; to promote the reemployment of unemployed
workers throughout the state in every other way that may be feasible; and
to these ends to carry on and publish the results of investigations and
research studies.

      (f) Records and reports. Each employing unit shall keep true and
accurate work records, containing such information as the secretary may
prescribe. Such records shall be open to inspection and subject to being
copied by the secretary or the secretary's authorized representatives at
any reasonable time and shall be preserved for a period of five years from
the due date of the contributions or payments in lieu of contributions for
the period to which they relate. Only one audit shall be made of any
employer's records for any given period of time. Upon request the em-
ploying unit shall be furnished a copy of all findings by the secretary or
the secretary's authorized representatives, resulting from such audit. A
special inquiry or special examination made for a specific and limited
purpose shall not be considered to be an audit for the purpose of this
subsection. The secretary may require from any employing unit any sworn
or unsworn reports, with respect to persons employed by it, which the
secretary deems necessary for the effective administration of this act.
Information thus obtained or obtained from any individual pursuant to
the administration of this act shall be held confidential, except to the
extent necessary for the proper presentation of a claim by an employer
or employee under the employment security law, and shall not be pub-
lished or be open to public inspection, other than to public employees in
the performance of their public duties, in any manner revealing the in-
dividual's or employing unit's identity. Any claimant or employing unit or
their representatives at a hearing before an appeal tribunal or the sec-
retary shall be supplied with information from such records to the extent
necessary for the proper presentation of the claim. The transcript made
at any such benefits hearing shall not be discoverable or admissible in
evidence in any other proceeding, hearing or determination of any kind
or nature. In the event of any appeal of a benefits matter, the transcript
shall be sealed by the hearing officer and shall be available only to any
reviewing authority who shall reseal the transcript after making a review
of it. In no event shall such transcript be deemed a public record. Nothing
in this subsection (f) shall be construed to prohibit disclosure of any in-
formation obtained under the employment security law, including hearing
transcripts, upon request of either of the parties, for the purpose of ad-
ministering or adjudicating a claim for benefits under the provisions of
any other state program, except that any party receiving such information
shall be prohibited from further disclosure and shall be subject to the
same duty of confidentiality otherwise imposed by this subsection (f) and
shall be subject to the penalties imposed by this subsection (f) for viola-
tions of such duty of confidentiality. Nothing in this subsection (f) shall
be construed to prohibit disclosure of any information obtained under
the employment security law, including hearing transcripts, for use as
evidence in open court in a criminal prosecution for perjury at an appeal
hearing under the employment security law or for any criminal violation
of the employment security law. If the secretary or any officer or em-
ployee of the secretary violates any provisions of this subsection (f), the
secretary or such officer or employee shall be fined not less than $20 nor
more than $200 or imprisoned for not longer than 90 days, or both. Orig-
inal records of the agency and original paid benefit warrants of the state
treasurer may be made available to the employment security agency of
any other state or the federal government to be used as evidence in pros-
ecution of violations of the employment security law of such state or
federal government. Photostatic copies of such records shall be made and
where possible shall be substituted for original records introduced in ev-
idence and the originals returned to the agency.

      (g) Oaths and witnesses. In the discharge of the duties imposed by
the employment security law, the chairperson of an appeal tribunal, an
appeals referee, the secretary or any duly authorized representative of
the secretary shall have power to administer oaths and affirmations, take
depositions, issue interrogatories, certify to official acts, and issue sub-
poenas to compel the attendance of witnesses and the production of
books, papers, correspondence, memoranda and other records deemed
necessary as evidence in connection with a disputed claim or the admin-
istration of the employment security law.

      (h) Subpoenas, service. Upon request, service of subpoenas shall be
made by the sheriff of a county within that county, by the sheriff's deputy,
by any other person who is not a party and is not less than 18 years of
age or by some person specially appointed for that purpose by the sec-
retary of human resources or the secretary's designee. A person not a
party as described above or a person specially appointed by the secretary
or the secretary's designee to serve subpoenas may make service any place
in the state. The subpoena shall be served as follows:

      (1) Individual. Service upon an individual, other than a minor or in-
capacitated person, shall be made (A) by delivering a copy of the sub-
poena to the individual personally, (B) by leaving a copy at such individ-
ual's dwelling house or usual place of abode with some person of suitable
age and discretion then residing therein, (C) by leaving a copy at the
business establishment of the employer with an officer or employee of
the establishment, (D) by delivering a copy to an agent authorized by
appointment or by law to receive service of process, but if the agent is
one designated by a statute to receive service, such further notice as the
statute requires shall be given, or (E) if service as prescribed above in
clauses (A), (B), (C) or (D) cannot be made with due diligence, by leaving
a copy of the subpoena at the individual's dwelling house, usual place of
abode or usual business establishment, and by mailing a notice by first-
class mail to the place that the copy has been left.

      (2) Corporations and partnerships. Service upon a domestic or for-
eign corporation or upon a partnership or other unincorporated associa-
tion, when by law it may be sued as such, shall be made by delivering a
copy of the subpoena to an officer, partner or resident managing or gen-
eral agent thereof, or by leaving the copy at any business office of the
employer with the person having charge thereof or by delivering a copy
to any other agent authorized by appointment or required by law to re-
ceive service of process, if the agent is one authorized by law to receive
service and, if the law so requires, by also mailing a copy to the employer.

      (3) Refusal to accept service. In all cases when the person to be
served, or an agent authorized by such person to accept service of peti-
tions and summonses shall refuse to receive copies of the subpoena, the
offer of the duly authorized process server to deliver copies thereof and
such refusal shall be sufficient service of such subpoena.

      (4) Proof of service. (A) Every officer to whom a subpoena or other
process shall be delivered for service within or without the state, shall
make return thereof in writing stating the time, place and manner of
service of such writ and shall sign such officer's name to such return.

      (B) If service of the subpoena is made by a person appointed by the
secretary or the secretary's designee to make service, or any other person
described in subsection (h) of this section, such person shall make an
affidavit as to the time, place and manner of service thereof in a form
prescribed by the secretary or the secretary's designee.

      (5) Time for return. The officer or other person receiving a subpoena
shall make a return of service promptly and shall send such return to the
secretary or the secretary's designee in any event within 10 days after the
service is effected. If the subpoena cannot be served it shall be returned
to the secretary or the secretary's designee within 30 days after the date
of issue with a statement of the reason for the failure to serve the same.

      (i) Subpoenas, enforcement. In case of contumacy by or refusal to
obey a subpoena issued to any person, any court of this state within the
jurisdiction of which the inquiry is carried on or within the jurisdiction
of which such person guilty of contumacy or refusal to obey is found,
resides or transacts business, upon application by the secretary or the
secretary's duly authorized representative, shall have jurisdiction to issue
to such person an order requiring such person to appear before the sec-
retary, or the secretary's duly authorized representative, to produce evi-
dence, if so ordered, or to give testimony relating to the matter under
investigation or in question. Failure to obey such order of the court may
be punished by said court as a contempt thereof. Any person who, without
just cause, shall fail or refuse to attend and testify or to answer any lawful
inquiry or to produce books, papers, correspondence, memoranda or
other records in obedience to the subpoena of the secretary or the sec-
retary's duly authorized representative shall be punished by a fine of not
less than $200 or by imprisonment of not longer than 60 days, or both,
and each day such violation continued shall be deemed to be a separate
offense.

      (j) State-federal cooperation. In the administration of this act, the
secretary shall cooperate to the fullest extent consistent with the provi-
sions of this act, with the federal security agency, shall make such reports,
in such form and containing such information as the federal security ad-
ministrator may from time to time require, and shall comply with such
provisions as the federal security administrator may from time to time
find necessary to assure the correctness and verification of such reports;
and shall comply with the regulations prescribed by the federal security
agency governing the expenditures of such sums as may be allotted and
paid to this state under title III of the social security act for the purpose
of assisting in the administration of this act. Upon request therefor the
secretary shall furnish to any agency of the United States charged with
the administration of public works or assistance through public employ-
ment, the name, address, ordinary occupation, and employment status of
each recipient of benefits and such recipient's rights to further benefits
under this act.

      (k) Reciprocal arrangements. The secretary shall participate in mak-
ing reciprocal arrangements with appropriate and duly authorized agen-
cies of other states or of the federal government, or both, whereby:

      (1) Services performed by an individual for a single employing unit
for which services are customarily performed in more than one state shall
be deemed to be services performed entirely within any one of the states
(A) in which any part of such individual's service is performed, (B) in
which such individual maintains residence, or (C) in which the employing
unit maintains a place of business, provided there is in effect as to such
services, an election, approved by the agency charged with the adminis-
tration of such state's unemployment compensation law, pursuant to
which all the services performed by such individual for such employing
units are deemed to be performed entirely within such state;

      (2) service performed by not more than three individuals, on any
portion of a day but not necessarily simultaneously, for a single employing
unit which customarily operates in more than one state shall be deemed
to be service performed entirely within the state in which such employing
unit maintains the headquarters of its business; provided that there is in
effect, as to such service, an approved election by an employing unit with
the affirmative consent of each such individual, pursuant to which service
performed by such individual for such employing unit is deemed to be
performed entirely within such state;

      (3) potential rights to benefits accumulated under the employment
compensation laws of one or more states or under one or more such laws
of the federal government, or both, may constitute the basis for the pay-
ments of benefits through a single appropriate agency under terms which
the secretary finds will be fair and reasonable as to all affected interests
and will not result in any substantial loss to the fund;

      (4) wages or services, upon the basis of which an individual may be-
come entitled to benefits under an unemployment compensation law of
another state or of the federal government, shall be deemed to be wages
for insured work for the purpose of determining such individual's rights
to benefits under this act, and wages for insured work, on the basis of
which an individual may become entitled to benefits under this act, shall
be deemed to be wages or services on the basis of which unemployment
compensation under such law of another state or of the federal govern-
ment is payable, but no such arrangement shall be entered into unless it
contains provisions for reimbursements to the fund for such of the ben-
efits paid under this act upon the basis of such wages or services, and
provisions for reimbursements from the fund for such of the compensa-
tion paid under such other law upon the basis of wages for insured work,
as the secretary finds will be fair and reasonable as to all affected interests;
and

      (5)  (A) contributions due under this act with respect to wages for
insured work shall be deemed for the purposes of K.S.A. 44-717, and
amendments thereto, to have been paid to the fund as of the date pay-
ment was made as contributions therefor under another state or federal
unemployment compensation law, but no such arrangement shall be en-
tered into unless it contains provisions for such reimbursements to the
fund of such contributions and the actual earnings thereon as the secre-
tary finds will be fair and reasonable as to all affected interests;

      (B) reimbursements paid from the fund pursuant to subsection (l)(4)
of this section shall be deemed to be benefits for the purpose of K.S.A.
44-704 and 44-712, and amendments thereto; the secretary is authorized
to make to other state or federal agencies, and to receive from such other
state or federal agencies, reimbursements from or to the fund, in accord-
ance with arrangements entered into pursuant to the provisions of this
section or any other section of the employment security law;

      (C) the administration of this act and of other state and federal un-
employment compensation and public employment service laws will be
promoted by cooperation between this state and such other states and
the appropriate federal agencies in exchanging services and in making
available facilities and information; the secretary is therefore authorized
to make such investigations, secure and transmit such information, make
available such services and facilities and exercise such of the other powers
provided herein with respect to the administration of this act as the sec-
retary deems necessary or appropriate to facilitate the administration of
any such unemployment compensation or public employment service law
and, in like manner, to accept and utilize information, service and facilities
made available to this state by the agency charged with the administration
of any such other unemployment compensation or public employment
service law; and

      (D) to the extent permissible under the laws and constitution of the
United States, the secretary is authorized to enter into or cooperate in
arrangements whereby facilities and services provided under this act and
facilities and services provided under the unemployment compensation
law of any foreign government may be utilized for the taking of claims
and the payment of benefits under the employment security law of this
state or under a similar law of such government.

      (l) Records available. The secretary may furnish the railroad retire-
ment board, at the expense of such board, such copies of the records as
the railroad retirement board deems necessary for its purposes.

      (m) Destruction of records, reproduction and disposition. The sec-
retary may provide for the destruction, reproduction, temporary or per-
manent retention, and disposition of records, reports and claims in the
secretary's possession pursuant to the administration of the employment
security law provided that prior to any destruction of such records, reports
or claims the secretary shall comply with K.S.A. 75-3501 to 75-3514, in-
clusive, and amendments thereto.

      (n) Federal cooperation. The secretary may afford reasonable coop-
eration with every agency of the United States charged with administra-
tion of any unemployment insurance law.

      (o) The secretary is hereby authorized to fix, charge and collect fees
for copies made of public documents, as defined by subsection (c) of
K.S.A. 45-204, and amendments thereto, by xerographic, thermographic
or other photocopying or reproduction process, in order to recover all or
part of the actual costs incurred, including any costs incurred in certifying
such copies. All moneys received from fees charged for copies of such
documents shall be remitted to the state treasurer at least monthly in
accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments
thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance, the state treasurer shall
deposit the entire amount thereof in the state treasury to the credit of
the employment security administration fund. No such fees shall be
charged or collected for copies of documents that are made pursuant to
a statute which requires such copies to be furnished without expense.

      Sec.  143. K.S.A. 44-806a is hereby amended to read as follows: 44-
806a. (a) In case any labor organization which is required to file a copy
of its constitution or bylaws or amendments or changes therein under
K.S.A. 44-805, as amended and amendments thereto, or to file an annual
report under K.S.A. 44-806, as amended and amendments thereto, shall
fail or neglect to make such filing at the time prescribed, such labor
organization shall be subject to a civil penalty of one hundred dollars
($100) $100, and, if such labor organization shall not have made such
filing within sixty (60) 60 days thereafter, it shall be subject to an addi-
tional civil penalty of five dollars ($5) $5 per day for each day's omission
after the time limited in said such statutes for making such filing and such
sixty (60) day sixty-day period. Such civil penalties may be recovered by
an action in the name of the state, and all moneys recovered shall be paid
into remitted to the state treasurer in accordance with the provisions of
K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such re-
mittance, the state treasurer shall deposit the entire amount in the state
treasury to the credit of the state general fund. Any labor organization
shall have the right to be heard by the secretary of state upon the matter
of determination of the amount of civil penalties due under this section.
For good cause shown, the secretary of state may remit or waive all or
any part of any such civil penalties.

      (b) On complaint of the secretary of state that any labor organization
has failed to make the filing required by said statutes, it shall be the duty
of the county or district attorney, or the attorney general, to institute such
action in the district court of Shawnee county, Kansas, or of any county
in which such labor organization has an office.

      Sec.  144. K.S.A. 44-812 is hereby amended to read as follows: 44-
812. That All fees collected by the secretary of state hereunder shall be
paid remitted to the state treasurer and credited in accordance with the
provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of
each such remittance, the state treasurer shall deposit the entire amount
in the state treasury to the credit of the state general fund.

      Sec.  145. K.S.A. 44-926 is hereby amended to read as follows: 44-
926. (a) The owner or user of a boiler or pressure vessel required by this
act to be inspected by the chief inspector or a deputy inspector shall pay
directly to the chief inspector, upon completion of inspection, inspection
fees fixed by the secretary in accordance with this subsection (a). The
secretary shall fix annually, by rules and regulations, a schedule of fees
for inspections of pressure vessels installed after January 1, 1999, and
boilers by state inspectors and may fix different fees for inspection of
boilers and pressure vessels in the various categories. Such fees shall not
exceed $500 per day for each boiler or pressure vessel inspected.

      (b) The owner or user of a boiler or pressure vessel for which an
inspection certificate is to be issued pursuant to subsection (b) of K.S.A.
44-924, and amendments thereto, shall pay directly to the chief inspector,
before issuance of such certificate, a certificate fee fixed by the secretary
by rules and regulations of not to exceed $35.

      (c) There is hereby created in the state treasury the boiler inspection
fee fund. The chief inspector shall pay daily to the secretary all moneys
received from the fees established hereunder, and the secretary shall
remit all such moneys to the state treasurer at least monthly in accordance
with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon
receipt of any each such remittance, the state treasurer shall deposit the
entire amount thereof in the state treasury. Twenty percent of such in-
spection fees shall be credited to the state general fund and the balance
including all of the certificate fees shall be credited to the boiler inspec-
tion fee fund. All expenditures from the boiler inspection fee fund shall
be made in accordance with appropriation acts upon warrants of the di-
rector of accounts and reports issued pursuant to vouchers approved by
the secretary of human resources or by a person or persons designated
by the secretary.

      Sec.  146. K.S.A. 44-1019 is hereby amended to read as follows: 44-
1019. (a) The authority and responsibility for administering this act shall
be in the commission. Any person aggrieved may file a verified complaint
with the commission. Such complaints shall be in writing, shall state the
facts upon which the allegations of a discriminatory housing practice are
based and shall contain such other information and be in such form as
the commission may require. Complaints must be filed within one year
after the alleged discriminatory housing practice occurred, but may be
reasonably and fairly amended at any time. The commission upon its own
initiative or the attorney general may, in like manner, make, sign and file
such complaint. A respondent may file a verified answer to the complaint
against the respondent and with the leave of the commission, which shall
be granted whenever it would be reasonable and fair to do so, may amend
the answer filed by the respondent at any time.

      (b) Upon receipt of any such complaint the commission shall serve
notice upon the aggrieved person acknowledging such filing and advising
the aggrieved person of the time limits and choice of forums provided
under this act; and the commission shall within 10 days thereof serve on
the respondent a notice identifying the alleged discriminatory housing
practice and advising such respondent of the procedural rights and obli-
gations of respondents under this act, together with a copy of the original
complaint. Service of the notice shall be made in the manner prescribed
by the code of civil procedure.

      (c) Whenever a local fair housing ordinance provides rights and rem-
edies for alleged discriminatory housing practices which are, in the judg-
ment of the commission, substantially equivalent to the rights and rem-
edies provided in this act, the commission shall refer to the appropriate
local agency any complaint filed under this act which appears to constitute
a violation of such local fair housing ordinance. The commission shall take
no further action with respect to such complaint until 30 days have
elapsed since the complaint was referred to the local agency, or the local
agency has completed its investigation, or the local agency requests the
commission to assume jurisdiction or to assist it, whichever occurs first.
The local agency shall inform the commission in writing of the status of
the referred complaint at the end of the referral period or when the local
agency has completed its investigation, whichever occurs first. The com-
mission may take further action on the complaint if in its judgment the
protection of the rights of the parties or the interests of justice require
such action.

      (d) A person who is not named as a respondent in a complaint, but
who is identified as a respondent in the course of investigation, may be
joined as an additional or substitute respondent upon written notice, un-
der subsections (a) and (b), to such person, from the commission.

      (e)  (1) If a complaint is not referred to a local agency as provided in
subsection (b), or after the commission assumes jurisdiction of a com-
plaint following such referral, the commission shall promptly commence
an investigation thereof, in the manner provided in K.S.A. 44-1005, and
amendments thereto, for investigating complaints of violations of the Kan-
sas act against discrimination, and complete such investigation, including
conciliation, within 100 days after the filing of the complaint or, when
the commission takes further action under subsection (c), within 100 days
after the commission assumes jurisdiction of a complaint, unless it is im-
practicable to do so.

      (2) If the commission is unable to complete the investigation within
100 days, or when the commission takes further action under subsection
(c), within 100 days after the commission assumes jurisdiction of a com-
plaint, the commission shall inform the parties in writing of the reasons
for not doing so.

      (3) The commission shall make final administrative disposition within
one year after the filing of the complaint or, when the commission takes
further action under subsection (c), within one year after the commission
assumes jurisdiction of a complaint, unless it is impracticable to do so.

      (4) If the commission is unable to make final administrative disposi-
tion of the complaint within one year of the date of filing, or when the
commission takes further action under subsection (c), within one year
after the commission assumes jurisdiction of a complaint, the commission
shall inform the parties in writing of the reasons for not doing so.

      (f)  (1) If it is determined that probable cause exists for crediting the
allegations of the complaint, the commission shall serve written notice of
such determination on the person aggrieved. The commission shall pro-
ceed to try to eliminate or correct the alleged discriminatory housing
practice by informal methods of conference, conciliation and persuasion
which shall be held, insofar as possible, in the cities or other localities
where the alleged discriminatory housing practices have occurred or are
about to occur. The commission is hereby authorized to enter into formal
conciliation agreement which shall include the person aggrieved and the
respondent as signatories. Such agreements may include in the provisions
thereof any term or condition which may be included in a final order of
the commission. Each conciliation agreement shall be made public unless
the person aggrieved and respondent otherwise agree and the commission
determines that disclosure is not required to further the purposes of this
act.

      (2) Any of the parties to a conciliation agreement may apply to the
district court of the county where the alleged discriminatory housing prac-
tice occurred, or was about to occur, for specific performance of any such
agreement.

      (g) If the commission is unable to eliminate or correct the alleged
discriminatory housing practice by informal methods of conference, con-
ciliation and persuasion, a hearing may be held before the commission in
the manner provided in K.S.A. 44-1005, and amendments thereto, for
holding hearings under the Kansas act against discrimination. In any such
hearing, the burden of proof shall be on the complainant.

      (h) In lieu of a hearing under subsection (g), a complainant, a re-
spondent or an aggrieved person on whose behalf the complaint was filed
may elect to have the claims asserted in the complaint decided in a civil
action as provided in subsection (d) of K.S.A. 44-1021, and amendments
thereto. The election must be made not later than 20 days after the receipt
by the electing person of service in the manner provided in K.S.A. 44-
1005, and amendments thereto, or, in the case of an election by the
commission, not later than 20 days after such service. The person making
the election shall give notice to the commission and to all other com-
plainants and respondents to whom the complaint relates. If a timely
election is made under this subsection (h)(2), the commission shall file,
not later than 30 days after the election is made, a civil action as provided
in subsection (d) of K.S.A. 44-1021, and amendments thereto.

      (i) If an election is not made under subsection (h) and the commission
finds that a respondent has engaged in or is engaging in any discriminatory
housing practice, the commission shall render an order requiring the re-
spondent to cease and desist from such discriminatory housing practice,
and such order may direct a respondent to take such affirmative action
as the commission deems necessary to effectuate the intent and purposes
of this act, including, but not limited to, the selling or renting of specified
real property and the lending of money for the acquisition, construction,
rehabilitation, repair or maintenance of real property. Such order may
also include an award of actual damages, including damages caused by
pain, suffering and humiliation. Such order may also, to vindicate the
public interest, assess a civil penalty against the respondent:

      (1) In an amount not exceeding $10,000, if the respondent has not
been adjudged to have committed any prior discriminatory housing prac-
tice;

      (2) subject to the provisions of subsection (i)(4), in an amount not
exceeding $25,000, if the respondent has been adjudged to have com-
mitted one other discriminatory housing practice during the five-year pe-
riod ending on the date of the filing of the complaint;

      (3) subject to the provisions of subsection (i)(4), in an amount not
exceeding $50,000, if the respondent has been adjudged to have com-
mitted two or more discriminatory housing practices during the seven-
year period ending on the date of the filing of the complaint; and

      (4) if the acts constituting the discriminatory housing practice that is
the object of the complaint are committed by the same natural person
who has been previously adjudged to have committed acts constituting a
discriminatory housing practice in the amounts provided by subsections
(i)(2) and (i)(3) without regard to the period of time within which any
subsequent discriminatory housing practice occurred.

      Any such civil penalty shall be paid into remitted to the state treasurer
in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments
thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance, the state treasurer shall
deposit the entire amount in the state treasury to the credit of the state
general fund.

      (j) Within 15 days after an order is served by the commission requir-

under this act has violated this act or a rule and regulation adopted under
this act in a manner that constitutes a ground for disciplinary action under
K.S.A. 44-1505, and amendments thereto, the secretary of state may as-
sess a civil penalty against that person as provided by this section.

      (b) The secretary of state may assess the civil penalty in an amount
not to exceed $25,000. In determining the amount of the civil penalty,
the secretary of state shall consider the seriousness of the violation.

      (c) If after examination of a possible violation and the facts relating
to that possible violation the secretary of state concludes that a violation
has occurred, the secretary shall issue a preliminary report that states the
facts on which the conclusion is based, the fact that a civil penalty is to
be imposed, and the amount to be assessed. Not later than the 10th day
after the date on which the secretary issues the preliminary report, the

sent, the person charged either may make a written request for a hearing
or may remit the amount of the civil penalty to the secretary of state.
Failure either to request a hearing or to remit the amount of the civil
penalty within the time provided by this subsection shall constitute a
waiver of the right to a hearing under this act. If the person charged
requests a hearing, the hearing shall be conducted in the manner provided

the violation, forward the assessed amount to the secretary of state for
deposit in an escrow account. If, after judicial review, it is determined
that no violation occurred or that the amount of the penalty should be
reduced, the secretary shall remit the appropriate amount to the person
charged with the violation not later than the 30th day after the date on
which the judicial determination becomes final.

      (f) Failure to remit the amount of the civil penalty to the secretary
of state within the time provided by subsection (e) results in a waiver of
all legal rights to contest the violation or the amount of the penalty.

      (g) A civil penalty owed under this section may be recovered in a civil
action brought by the attorney general at the request of the secretary of
state.

      (h) Any penalty collected under this section shall be deposited re-

grams for the reclamation of land having abandoned mines, which plans
and programs will be eligible for participation in the abandoned mine
reclamation program established by the national surface mining control
and reclamation act of 1977 (public law 95-87), to submit such plans and
programs, and all reports and applications contemplated by such act to
the secretary of the interior, and to participate in such abandoned mine
reclamation program. The governor is authorized to make certification
contemplated by such act, with respect to such plans and programs, in
order to authorize receipt of funds pursuant to such act. All amounts
received under this section by the department shall be remitted at least
monthly to the state treasurer in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A.
75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance,
and the state treasurer shall deposit all thereof the entire amount in the
state treasury and credit the same to the credit of the abandoned mined-
land fund. All expenditures from the abandoned mined-land fund shall
be made in accordance with appropriation acts upon warrants of the di-
rector of accounts and reports issued pursuant to vouchers approved by
the secretary or by a person or persons designated by the secretary. Ex-
penditures from the abandoned mined-land fund shall be made for ad-
ministration of this section and reclamation of eligible abandoned mined-
land in accordance with plans and programs adopted and approved as
provided in this section.

      (b) In developing and adopting plans and programs for reclamation
of abandoned mines, the secretary shall observe the following priorities
of policy, in the order stated:

      (1) The protection of public health, safety, general welfare and prop-
erty from extreme danger of adverse effects of coal mining practices;

      (2) the protection of public health, safety, and general welfare from
adverse effects of coal mining practices;

      (3) the restoration of land and water resources and the environment
previously degraded by adverse effects of coal mining practices including
measures for the conservation and development of soil, water, excluding
channelization, woodland, fish and wildlife, recreation resources and ag-
ricultural productivity;

      (4) research and demonstration projects relating to the development
of surface mining reclamation and water quality control program methods
and techniques;

      (5) the protection, repair, replacement, construction, or enhance-
ment of public facilities such as utilities, roads, recreation and conserva-
tion facilities adversely affected by coal mining practices;

      (6) the development of publicly owned land adversely affected by coal
mining practices including land acquired as provided in public law 95-87
for recreation and historic purposes, conservation and reclamation pur-
poses and open space benefits.

      (c) Abandoned mines eligible for inclusion in plans and programs
authorized herein are those having land or water requiring reclamation
or drainage abatement, which were mined for coal or which were affected
by such mining, waste banks, coal processing or other coal mining process,
and which were abandoned or left in an inadequate reclamation status
prior to the date of enactment of the national surface mining control and
reclamation act of 1977 (public law 95-87), and for which there is no
continuing reclamation responsibility under the laws of this state or of
the United States.

      (d) The secretary is authorized to make annual or other applications
for support of the department's plans and programs and implementation
of specific reclamation projects to the secretary of the interior, which
applications shall contain the information required by the national surface
mining control and reclamation act of 1977 (public law 95-87); and the
secretary is authorized to make such other reports as may be requested
from time to time by the secretary of interior in connection with admin-
istration of such plans and programs. The secretary also shall make an
annual report to Congress on operations relative to reclamation of aban-
doned mines and make recommendations as to future uses of federal
funds available for such reclamation.

      (e)  (1) Within six months after the completion of projects to restore,
reclaim, abate, control, or prevent adverse effects of past coal mining
practices on privately owned land, the department shall itemize the mon-
eys so expended and may file a statement thereof in the office of the clerk
of the district court in the county in which the land lies, together with a
verified appraisal by an independent appraiser of the value of the land
before the restoration, reclamation, abatement, control, or prevention of
adverse effects of past coal mining practices if the moneys so expended
shall result in a significant increase in property value. Such statement
shall constitute a lien upon the land. The lien shall not exceed the amount
determined by the appraisal to be the increase in the market value of the
land as a result of the restoration, reclamation, abatement, control, or
prevention of the adverse effects of past coal mining practices. No lien
shall be filed against the property of any person, in accordance with this
subsection, who owned the surface prior to May 2, 1977, and who neither
consented to nor participated in nor exercised control over the mining
operation which necessitated the reclamation performed hereunder.

      (2) The landowner may bring a civil action in the district court of the
county wherein the subject land lies within 60 days of the filing of the
lien, to determine the increase in the market value of the land as a result
of the restoration, reclamation, abatement, control, or prevention of the
adverse effects of past coal mining practices. The amount reported to be
the increase in value of the premises shall constitute the amount of the
lien and shall be recorded with the statement herein provided. The only
necessary party defendant shall be the secretary. Any party aggrieved by
the decision may appeal as provided by law.

      (3) The lien provided in this section shall be recorded in the county
in which the land lies. Such statement shall constitute a lien upon the
land as of the date of the expenditure of the moneys and shall have priority
as a lien second only to the lien of real estate taxes imposed upon the
land. Such lien shall be for the benefit of the department.

      (4) If liens are filed affecting a tract, affected portions of which lie in
more than one county, a civil action brought to determine the increase
in value as provided herein, and any action for foreclosure, may be
brought in any county in which land subject to such lien lies.

be used by a public water supply system, nor shall any change be made
in the manner of storage, purification or treatment of the water supply
without an additional public water supply system permit obtained in a
manner similar to that prescribed by this section from the secretary.

      (2) Whenever application is made to the secretary for a public water
supply system permit under the provisions of this section, it shall be the
duty of the secretary to examine the application without delay and, as
soon as possible thereafter, to grant or deny the public water supply sys-
tem permit subject to any conditions which may be imposed by the sec-
retary to protect the public health and welfare.

      (3) The secretary may adopt rules and regulations establishing a pro-
gram of annual certification by public water supply systems that have staff
qualified to approve the extension of distribution systems without the
necessity of securing an additional permit for the extension provided the
plans for the extension are prepared by a professional engineer as defined
by K.S.A. 74-7003, and amendments thereto.

      (b)  (1) Whenever a complaint is made to the secretary by any city of
the state, by a local health officer, or by a county or joint board of health
concerning the sanitary quality of any water supplied to the public within
the county in which the city, local health officer or county or joint board
of health is located, the secretary shall investigate the public water supply
system about which the complaint is made. Whenever the secretary has
reason to believe that a public water supply system within the state is
being operated in violation of an applicable state law or an applicable rule
and regulation of the secretary, the secretary may investigate the public
water supply system.

      (2) Whenever an investigation of any public water supply system is
undertaken by the secretary, it shall be the duty of the supplier of water
under investigation to furnish to the secretary information to determine
the sanitary quality of the water supplied to the public and to determine
compliance with applicable state laws and rules and regulations. The sec-
retary may issue an order requiring changes in the source or sources of
the public water supply system or in the manner of storage, purification
or treatment utilized by the public water supply system before delivery
to consumers, or distribution facilities, collectively or individually, as may
in the secretary's judgment be necessary to safeguard the sanitary quality
of the water and bring about compliance with applicable state law and
rules and regulations. The supplier of water shall comply with the order
of the secretary.

      (c)  (1) As used in this subsection (c), ``municipal water treatment
residues'' means any solid, semisolid or liquid residue generated during

treatment residues resulting from sedimentation, coagulation or softening
treatment processes in basins on land under the ownership and control
of the public water supply system operator provided that such storage or
placement is approved and permitted by the secretary under this section
as part of the public water supply system.

      (3) The secretary shall adopt uniform and comprehensive rules and
regulations for the location, design and operation of such basins. Such
rules and regulations shall require permit applications by the public water
suppliers for such basins to include a copy of the plans and specifications
for the location and construction of each basin, the means of conveyance
of the treatment residues to such basins, the content of treatment resi-
dues, the proposed method of basin operation and closure, the method
of any anticipated expansion and any other data and information required
by the secretary.

      (4) Whenever complaint is made to the secretary by the mayor of any
city of the state, by a local health officer or by a county or joint board of
health, or whenever an investigation is undertaken at the initiative of the
secretary, relating to any alleged violation of the provisions of the permit
for placement or storage of municipal water treatment residues in such
basins, the public water supply system operator shall furnish all infor-
mation the secretary requires. If the secretary finds that there is any
violation of the terms of the permit, that the means of placement and
storage exceed the terms of the permit or that any other condition exists
by reason of the means of placement and storage that may be detrimental
to the health of any inhabitants of the state or to the environment, the
secretary shall have the authority to issue an order amending the permit
or otherwise requiring the operator to perform remedial measures to
curtail or prevent such detrimental conditions.

      (d) Any action of the secretary pursuant to this section is subject to
review in accordance with the act for judicial review and civil enforcement
of agency actions. The court on review shall hear the case without delay.

      (e) The secretary shall establish by rule and regulation a system of
fees for the inspection and regulation of public water supplies. No such
fee shall exceed $.002 per 1,000 gallons of water sold at retail by a public
water supply system. All such fees shall be paid quarterly in the manner
provided for fees imposed on retail sales by public water supply systems
pursuant to K.S.A. 82a-954, and amendments thereto. The secretary shall
remit to the state treasurer all moneys collected for such fees to the state
treasurer in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and
amendments thereto. Upon receipt thereof of each such remittance, the
state treasurer shall deposit the entire amount in the state treasury and
credit it to the credit of the public water supply fee fund created by K.S.A.
65-163c, and amendments thereto.

      (f) There is hereby created an advisory committee to make recom-
mendations regarding: (1) Fees to be adopted by the secretary under
subsection (e); (2) means of strengthening on-site technical assistance to
public water supply systems; (3) standards for on-site and classroom water

exists for issuance of the permit with a term of less than five years. The
minimum fee assessed for any permit issued pursuant to K.S.A. 65-165,
and amendments thereto, shall be for not less than one year. Permit fees
may be assessed and collected on an annual basis and failure to pay the
assessed fee shall be cause for revocation of the permit. Any permit which
has expired or has been revoked may be reissued upon payment of the
appropriate fee and submission of a new application for a permit as pro-
vided in K.S.A. 65-165 and 65-166, and amendments thereto.

      (c) The secretary of revenue or the secretary's authorized represen-
tative shall have the right at all reasonable times during business hours

      Sec.  247. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 65-3424k is hereby amended to read as
follows: 65-3424k. (a) Before July 1, 2001, the secretary may undertake
appropriate abatement action and may enter into contracts, including
grant contracts, for abatement of waste tire accumulations, utilizing funds
from the waste tire management fund. After July 1, 2001, the secretary's
actions shall be limited to contractual services to perform interim meas-
ures designed to minimize nuisances or risks to public health or the en-
vironment created by a waste tire accumulation.

      (b) Any authorized representative of the secretary may enter, at rea-
sonable times and upon written notice, onto any property or premises
where an accumulation of waste tires is located to conduct an abatement
of the accumulation or to perform interim measures to minimize nui-
sances or risks to public health or the environment created by a waste
tire accumulation.

      (c) Whenever the secretary has reason to believe that an owner or
operator has accumulated waste tires that create a nuisance or risk to
public health or the environment, the secretary may require that owner
or operator to abate the accumulation. Such abatement shall be per-
formed in accordance with a plan approved by the secretary. The secre-
tary shall give notice, by letter, to the owner and operator that the waste
tires constitute a nuisance or risk to public health or the environment,
and that the waste tire accumulation must be abated within a specified
period. Before July 1, 2001, the secretary may undertake abatement ac-
tion utilizing funds from the waste tire management fund if the owner or
operator fails to take the required action within the specified time period.
After July 1, 2001, the secretary's actions shall be limited to contractual
services to perform interim measures designed to minimize nuisances or
risks to public health or the environment created by a waste tire accu-
mulation. All costs incurred by the secretary in abatement of waste tires
accumulated after July 1, 1990, or in performing interim measures, in-
cluding administrative and legal expenses, are recoverable from an owner
or operator and may be recovered in a civil action in district court brought
by the secretary. Abatement costs recovered under this section shall be
remitted to the state treasurer, who in accordance with the provisions of
K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such re-
mittance, the state treasurer shall deposit the entire amount in the state
treasury and credit it to the credit of the waste tire management fund.
An action to recover abatement or interim measures costs may be com-
menced at any stage of an abatement.

      (d) In performing or entering contracts for abatement actions under
this section, the secretary shall give preference to actions that recycle the
waste tires or burn the waste tires for energy recovery. Direct abatement
expenditures may include landfilling when waste tires are contaminated
or when practical in-state markets cannot be identified.

      (e) Neither the state of Kansas nor the waste tire management fund
shall be liable to any owner or operator for the loss of business, damages
or taking of property associated with any abatement or enforcement ac-
tion taken pursuant to this section.

      Sec.  248. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 65-3431 is hereby amended to read as
follows: 65-3431. The secretary is authorized and directed to:

hazardous waste is treated and off-site hazardous waste facilities at which
hazardous waste is disposed and will remain after closure. In establishing
fees, the secretary shall give consideration to the degree of hazard, energy
content, quantity of waste, costs of treatment or disposal and estimated
future receipts. Fees shall be in an amount not to exceed $.01 per pound
of hazardous waste treated, or burned for energy or material recovery. In
no event shall the fees established under this subsection exceed the fol-
lowing annual calendar year caps: $60,000 for a facility which burns haz-
ardous waste for energy or material recovery only; $200,000 for a facility
which burns hazardous waste for treatment or disposal only. Facilities
which burn hazardous waste for: (A) Energy or material recovery; and
(B) treatment or disposal shall be subject to a total facility cap of $200,000,
which includes a separate cap of $60,000 for hazardous wastes which are
burned for energy or material recovery. The secretary shall establish a

ments thereto, except that 25% of any such deposit shall be deposited to
the credit of the hazardous waste collection fund created by K.S.A. 65-
3460, and amendments thereto.

      (x) Encourage, coordinate or participate in one or more waste
exchange clearing houses for the purpose of promoting reuse and recy-
cling of industrial wastes.

      (y) Adopt rules and regulations establishing the criteria to specify
when a change of principal owners or management of a hazardous waste
facility occurs and under what circumstances and procedures a new per-
mit shall be required to be issued to the transferees of a facility which
was permitted to the transferor.

      (z) Adopt rules and regulations concerning the generation, transpor-
tation, storage, blending, marketing, burning and types of hazardous
waste for which any method, technique or process to recover energy will
be considered hazardous waste treatment. Such rules and regulations
should specify a minimum heat value of the waste so as to ensure that a
legitimate energy recovery will occur and should consider other charac-
teristics of the waste which are appropriate to ensure that such method,
technique or process for energy recovery will not pose a threat to the
public health or environment.

importer or distributor first selling, offering for sale, using or delivering
petroleum products within this state. The environmental assurance fee
shall be paid to the department of revenue at the same time and in the
same manner as the inspection fee established pursuant to K.S.A. 55-426,
and amendments thereto, is paid. The secretary of revenue shall remit
daily the environmental assurance fees paid hereunder to the state trea-
surer, who in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and

by subsection (b). Exchanges of petroleum products on a gallon-for-gallon
basis within a terminal and petroleum product which is subsequently ex-
ported from this state shall be exempt from this fee.

      (b) Moneys collected from the environmental assurance fee imposed
by this section shall be credited as follows:

      (1) At any time when the unobligated principal balance of the un-
derground fund is equal to $2,000,000 or less, the moneys shall be cred-
ited to the underground fund until the unobligated principal balance of
underground fund equals or exceeds $5,000,000.

      (2) At any time when the unobligated principal balance of the above-
ground fund is equal to $500,000 or less and the moneys are not required
to be credited to the underground fund under subsection (b)(1), such
moneys shall be credited to the aboveground fund until the unobligated
principal balance of the aboveground fund equals or exceeds $1,500,000
or until subsection (b)(1) requires moneys to be credited to the under-
ground fund, whichever occurs first. At any time when the unobligated
principal balance of the aboveground fund exceeds $1,500,000, the excess
shall be transferred to the underground fund.

      (3) At any time when the moneys cease to be credited to aboveground
fund before the unobligated principal balance of the aboveground fund
equals or exceeds $1,500,000, such moneys shall again be credited to the
aboveground fund when the unobligated principal balance of the under-
ground fund equals or exceeds $5,000,000. Such moneys shall continue
to be credited to the aboveground fund until the unobligated principal
balance of the aboveground fund equals or exceeds $1,500,000 or until
subsection (b)(1) requires moneys to be credited to the underground
fund, whichever occurs first.

      (c) At any time when subsections (b)(1), (b)(2) and (b)(3) do not re-
quire moneys to be credited to either the underground fund or the above-
ground fund, no environmental assurance fees shall be levied unless and
until such time as the unobligated principal balance in the underground
fund is less than or equal to $2,000,000 or the unobligated principal bal-
ance in the aboveground fund is less than or equal to $500,000, in which
case the collection of the environmental assurance fee will resume within
90 days following the end of the month in which such unobligated balance
occurs. If no environmental assurance fees are being levied, the director
of accounts and reports shall notify the secretary of revenue whenever
the unobligated principal balance in the underground fund is $2,000,000
or the unobligated principal balance in the aboveground fund is $500,000,
and the secretary of revenue shall then give notice to each person subject
to the environmental assurance fee as to the imposition of the fee and
the duration thereof.

      The director of accounts and reports shall cause to be published each
month, in the second issue of the Kansas register published in such
month, the amount of the unobligated principal balances in the under-

receipt of each such remittance, the state treasurer shall deposit the entire
amount in the state treasury and the state treasurer shall credit same to
the credit of the state highway fund.

      Sec.  278. K.S.A. 68-413 is hereby amended to read as follows: 68-
413. (a) Subject to subsection (b), the secretary of transportation, in the
name of the state, may acquire title or easement by purchase, dedication
or by the exercise of the right of eminent domain: (1) To or upon any
lands or interests or rights therein; (2) to water, gravel, stone, sand or
other material; (3) to spoil banks or to borrow pits necessary for the
construction, reconstruction, improvement, maintenance or drainage of
the state highway system; or (4) to access ways to spoil banks or borrow
pits or any bed, pit, quarry or other place where gravel, stone, water, or
other material required in the construction, reconstruction, improve-
ment, maintenance or drainage of the state highways may be located. The
secretary of transportation, in the name of the state, may acquire, by
purchase, title to an entire lot, block or tract of land for state highway
purposes even though such entire lot, block or tract is not immediately
needed for state highway purposes, if the secretary finds that by so doing
the interests of the public will be best served, and without limiting the
foregoing, the same may be done where uneconomic remnants of land
would be left the original owner or where severance or consequential
damage to a remainder make the acquisition of the entire lot, block or
tract more economical to the state.

      (b)  (1) Exercise of the right of eminent domain by the secretary shall
be in accordance with and governed by article 5 of chapter 26 of the
Kansas Statutes Annotated, and amendments thereto.

      (2) Every petition filed by the secretary to acquire lands or any in-
terest in or title thereto by the exercise of the right of eminent domain
shall set forth the extent, quantity and nature of the interest or title to be
acquired.

      (3) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (4) of this subsection
(b), the secretary shall not acquire by eminent domain any right, title or
interest in or to the oil and gas minerals under or in any lands, and the
petition in any condemnation proceedings shall state that right, title or
interest in or to such oil and gas minerals is not being condemned.

      (4) The secretary may acquire by eminent domain the fee simple title
to lands when such lands are acquired for sites for the construction of
buildings or improvements necessarily incident to the operation, main-
tenance and supervision of a state system of highways.

      (c) The secretary may acquire fee simple title or any lesser degree of
title or interest or rights in land by purchase or dedication.

      (d)  (1) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (2) of this subsection
(d) the secretary may dispose of any real estate or any right, title or degree
or variety of interest therein which has theretofore been acquired for state
highway purposes, in the manner the secretary deems most expedient,
when such real estate or interest therein is no longer needed or used for
state highway purposes. The secretary may exchange the right-of-way in
which the secretary has an interest or title greater than an easement for
new or other right-of-way.

      (2) Whenever the secretary shall determine in the manner provided
by paragraph (1) of this subsection (d) that any real estate should be
disposed of by sale, such secretary shall sell the same, in the name of the
state of Kansas, to the highest bidder at public auction and thereby convey
and transfer all of the right, title and interest of the state of Kansas in
such real estate.

      As soon as reasonably practical after the secretary determines that any
such real estate should be sold, the secretary shall have the real estate
appraised by three disinterested persons and advertise the sale in a news-
paper of general circulation in the county where the real estate is situated
once each week for at least three consecutive weeks prior to the date set
for such sale. In no case shall such real estate be sold for less than 2/3 of
its appraised value except that if no sale has been effected after an effort
to sell under this section, the secretary may set aside the appraisement
and order a new appraisement and readvertise the real estate for sale. If
the new appraisement does not exceed $1,000, the secretary may read-
vertise and sell the real estate to the highest bidder. If the secretary
determines that sale by public auction would be inappropriate, the real
estate may be sold in the manner deemed most expedient by the secre-
tary. The secretary may charge an amount in connection with the release
of any permanent easement. The amount charged shall not exceed the
increase in value accruing to the underlying fee owner resulting from the
termination of the property interest held by the secretary in the name of
the state of Kansas. Conveyances of real estate under this section shall
be by deed executed by the secretary of transportation. The secretary
shall keep a record of all such conveyances. All moneys derived from such
sales or charges shall be remitted to the state treasurer who in accordance
with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon
receipt of each such remittance, the state treasurer shall deposit the same
entire amount in the state treasury to the credit of the state highway fund.

      (e) On August 15, 1975, the secretary of transportation shall succeed
to whatever right, title or interest the state highway commission has ac-
quired in any land in this state, and the secretary of transportation shall
hold the same for and in the name of the state of Kansas. Whenever any
land or any right, title or interest in any land is acquired by the secretary
of transportation or is acquired for state highway purposes, such right,
title or interest shall be taken and held by the secretary of transportation
in the name of the state of Kansas.

      Sec.  279. K.S.A. 68-423a is hereby amended to read as follows: 68-
423a. (a) It is hereby declared to be public policy of this state to provide
for the acquisition of real property necessary for the construction, im-
provement, reconstruction, maintenance or drainage of the state highway
system, in advance of actual construction, for the purpose of eliminating
costly details in construction, reducing hardship to owners of such prop-
erty, and eliminating economic waste occasioned by the improvement of
such property immediately prior to its acquisition for highway uses. The
legislature therefore finds and declares that purchase and condemnation
of real property necessary for the construction, reconstruction, improve-
ment, maintenance or drainage of the state highway system, reasonably
in advance of programmed construction, is for a public use and purpose
and for a public highway purpose.

      (b) Whenever the secretary of transportation determines that any real
estate so purchased should be disposed of by sale, the secretary shall have
the real estate appraised by three disinterested persons. The secretary
shall give the landowner from whom the real estate was acquired, or the
landowner's successors in title, an opportunity to purchase the real estate
at the appraised value. If the landowner does not elect within a reasonable
time to purchase the real estate at the appraised value, the secretary, in
the name of the state of Kansas, is authorized to sell the interest of the
state in the real estate to the highest bidder at public auction. Such sale
at auction shall be preceded by an advertisement of the sale in the Kansas
register once each week for at least three consecutive weeks prior to the
date set for such sale. In no case shall such real estate be sold at public
auction for less than 2/3 of its appraised value, except that, if no sale has
been effected after an effort to sell at public auction under this section,
the secretary of transportation may set aside the appraisement and order
a new appraisement and readvertise the real estate for sale at public
auction. If such new appraisement does not exceed $1,000, the secretary
may readvertise and sell the real estate to the highest bidder. Convey-
ances of such real estate shall be by deed executed by the secretary.

      (c) The secretary of transportation shall keep a record of all such
conveyances. All moneys derived from such sales shall be remitted to the
state treasurer who in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215,
and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance, the state
treasurer shall deposit the entire amount thereof in the state treasury to
the credit of the state highway fund.

      Sec.  280. K.S.A. 68-1139 is hereby amended to read as follows: 68-
1139. The county treasurer of any county receiving a loan or advance
under the provisions of this act, shall on February 15, and August 15 of
each year pay to the secretary of transportation any moneys in the special
fund created under the authority of K.S.A. 68-1135, and amendments
thereto, which are to be applied to the payment of such loan or advance
under the provisions of this act. Upon the receipt of any such payment,
the secretary of transportation shall remit the same to the state treasurer,
who in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amend-
ments thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance, the state treasurer
shall deposit the entire amount thereof in the state treasury to the credit
of the highway fund.

      If any county shall fail to make the tax levy or any payment herein
required for on any loan or advance, the secretary of transportation shall
advise the state treasurer, from time to time, of the amount currently due
from such county and the state treasurer is authorized and directed to
withhold such amount from the amount distributable on the next distri-
bution date to said county from the special city and county highway fund
created by K.S.A. 79-3425, and amendments thereto.

      The state treasurer shall notify the state director of accounts and re-
ports of the amount so withheld and thereupon the state director of ac-
counts and reports shall transfer said amount from the special city and
county highway fund to the highway fund. Upon making such transfer
the state director of accounts and reports shall notify the state treasurer
who shall make the proper entries in the records of his or her office to
show such transfer.

      Sec.  281. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 68-2096 is hereby amended to read as
follows: 68-2096. The secretary of transportation and the authority are
hereby authorized and empowered to make and enter into any and all
contracts and agreements, including (but without limitation) any contract
or agreement for the removal or construction of any bridge or other high-
way facility which they may deem necessary, desirable or incidental to
the financing, construction, maintenance, repair or operation of any high-
way project financed under the provisions of this act.

      With respect to any highway project financed under the provisions of
this act, the secretary of transportation is authorized, empowered and
directed to contract or agree with the authority to pay to the authority
from the state highway fund, upon order or voucher of the secretary in
the manner provided by law to the director of accounts and reports, in
each year, such amount or amounts as shall be required in such year to
make up any deficiency in the revenues received from the operation and
ownership of any highway project in such year, over and above the cost
of maintenance, repair and operation of such highway project and the
creation of reserves for such purposes in such year, (i) for paying the
interest on all highway revenue bonds or highway revenue refunding
bonds issued by the authority in connection with any such highway pro-
ject, (ii) for retiring such bonds by their maturity or maturities, and (iii)
for paying the premium, if any, on a specified aggregate principal amount
of bonds which would be payable in such year if such principal amount
of bonds were to be redeemed prior to their maturity or maturities. Any
contract or agreement entered into pursuant to this section shall provide
that all payments to the authority pursuant to this section shall be made
from the state highway fund. The amount which is required in each such
year to provide for paying the interest on such bonds and for retiring such
bonds on or prior to their maturity or maturities shall be determined as
provided in such contract or agreement. Any such payments required to
be made pursuant to such contract or agreement may be pledged or
assigned by the authority in the same manner as tolls and other revenues
of such highway project. Any such contract or agreement shall provide
for reimbursement by the authority, from tolls or other revenues of such
highway project to the secretary of transportation for the credit of the
state highway fund, at any time or times and under such terms and con-
ditions as may be set forth therein, of any amounts previously paid to the
authority by the secretary of transportation pursuant to the provisions of
this paragraph, except that if the revenues received from the operation
and ownership of such highway project in any year, over and above the
cost of maintenance, repair and operation of such highway project in-
curred in such year, shall exceed 150% of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above
for such year, such excess must be reimbursed to the secretary, for the
credit of the state highway fund, until all amounts previously paid to the
authority by the secretary have been reimbursed to the secretary. Any
moneys paid by the authority to the secretary pursuant to this section as
reimbursement for moneys previously paid from the state highway fund
shall be deposited remitted by the secretary to the state treasurer in ac-
cordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments thereto.
Upon receipt of each such remittance, the state treasurer shall deposit the
entire amount in the state treasury, and the state treasurer shall credit
such moneys to the credit of the state highway fund.

      Any payments provided to be made in any year pursuant to the pro-
visions of this section to the authority from the state highway fund shall
be a lien and claim on the portion of the highway fund which is made
available to the secretary of transportation by the provisions of K.S.A. 68-
416, and amendments thereto, but any such payments provided to be
made shall not be a lien or claim on any of the sums now provided by
K.S.A. 68-416, and amendments thereto, and such payments shall be
subject to any prior lien thereon, if any, created by similar contract made
and entered into by and between the secretary and the Kansas turnpike
authority, except that the secretary and the authority may determine any
priority as to lien and claim on the fund as between any such payments
to the authority from the fund on account of any highway projects fi-
nanced under the provisions of this act. The laws of Kansas shall not be
repealed or amended so as to cause the moneys available in the state
highway fund for making any payments to the authority provided to be
made pursuant to the provisions of this section to be insufficient to make
any such payments.

      The provisions of any contract or agreement entered into pursuant to
the provisions of this section may be enforced by the authority or by the
trustee under any trust agreement authorized by the provisions of K.S.A.
68-20,101, and amendments thereto.

      Sec.  282. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 72-979 is hereby amended to read as
follows: 72-979. (a) Payments under this act shall be made in the manner
and at such times during each school year as are determined by the state
board. If any district is paid more than it is entitled to receive under any
distribution made under this act, the state board shall notify the district
of the amount of such overpayment, and such district shall remit the same
to the state board. The state board shall remit any moneys so received to
the state treasurer, and in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-
4215, and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance, the
state treasurer shall deposit the same entire amount in the state treasury
to the credit of the state general fund. If any such district fails so to remit,
the state board shall deduct the excess amounts so paid from future pay-
ments becoming due to such district. If any district is paid less than the
amount to which it is entitled under any distribution made under this act,
the state board shall pay the additional amount due at any time within
the school year in which the underpayment was made or within 60 days
after the end of such school year.

under this act.

      (c) Every board shall make such periodic and special reports of in-
formation to the state board as it may request in order to carry out its
responsibilities under this act.

of the certificate fees fund, and shall be used only for the payment of
expenses connected with the issuance, renewal, or duplication of such
certifications, and for the keeping of records by the state department of
education. All expenditures from the certificate fees fund shall be made
in accordance with appropriation acts upon warrants of the director of
accounts and reports issued pursuant to vouchers approved by the state

of this subsection apply may levy an ad valorem tax on the taxable tangible
property of the district each year for a period of time not to exceed two
years in an amount not to exceed the amount authorized by the state
board of tax appeals under this subsection for the purpose of financing
the costs incurred by the state that are directly attributable to assignment
of ancillary school facilities weighting to enrollment of the district. The
state board of tax appeals may authorize the district to make a levy which
will produce an amount that is not greater than the difference between
the amount of costs directly attributable to commencing operation of one
or more new school facilities and the amount that is financed from any
other source provided by law for such purpose, including any amount
attributable to assignment of school facilities weighting to enrollment of
the district for each school year in which the district is eligible for such
weighting. If the district is not eligible, or will be ineligible, for school
facilities weighting in any one or more years during the two-year period
for which the district is authorized to levy a tax under this subsection, the
state board of tax appeals may authorize the district to make a levy, in
such year or years of ineligibility, which will produce an amount that is
not greater than the actual amount of costs attributable to commencing
operation of the facility or facilities.

cation the amount authorized to be produced by the levy of a tax under
subsection (a).

necessary to properly effectuate the provisions of this subsection, includ-
ing rules relating to the evidence required in support of a district's claim
that the costs attributable to commencing operation of one or more new
school facilities are in excess of the amount that is financed from any
other source provided by law for such purpose.

      (4) The provisions of this subsection apply to any district that (A)
commenced operation of one or more new school facilities in the school
year preceding the current school year or has commenced or will com-
mence operation of one or more new school facilities in the current school
year or any or all of the foregoing, and (B) is authorized to adopt and has

taxable tangible property of the district each year for a period of two years
under authority of subsection (a) may continue to levy such tax under
authority of this subsection each year for an additional period of time not
to exceed three years in an amount not to exceed the amount computed
by the state board of education as provided in this subsection if the board
of the district determines that the costs attributable to commencing op-
eration of one or more new school facilities are significantly greater than
the costs attributable to the operation of other school facilities in the
district. The tax authorized under this subsection may be levied at a rate
which will produce an amount that is not greater than the amount com-
puted by the state board of education as provided in this subsection. In
computing such amount, the state board shall (1) determine the amount
produced by the tax levied by the district under authority of subsection
(a) in the second year for which such tax was levied and add to such
amount the amount of general state aid directly attributable to school
facilities weighting that was received by the district in the same year, and
(2) compute 75% of the amount of the sum obtained under (1), which
computed amount is the amount the district may levy in the first year of
the three-year period for which the district may levy a tax under authority
of this subsection, and (3) compute 50% of the amount of the sum ob-
tained under (1), which computed amount is the amount the district may
levy in the second year of the three-year period for which the district may
levy a tax under authority of this subsection, and (4) compute 25% of the
amount of the sum obtained under (1), which computed amount is the
amount the district may levy in the third year of the three-year period for
which the district may levy a tax under authority of this subsection.

      (c) The proceeds from the tax levied by a district under authority of
this section shall be remitted to the state treasurer in accordance with

      Sec.  342. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 74-8813 is hereby amended to read as
follows: 74-8813. (a) A nonprofit organization may apply to the commis-
sion for an organization license to conduct horse races or an organization
license to conduct greyhound races, or both such licenses. In addition,
an organization license may authorize the licensee to construct or own a
racetrack facility if so provided by the commission. The application for
an organization license shall be filed with the commission at a time and
place prescribed by rules and regulations of the commission. The appli-
cation shall specify the days when and the exact location where it proposes
to conduct such races and shall be in a form and include such information
as the commission prescribes. A nonrefundable application fee in the
form of a certified check or bank draft shall accompany the application.
Except as provided pursuant to K.S.A. 74-8814, and amendments thereto,
such fee shall be $5,000 for each application. If the application fee is
insufficient to pay the reasonable expenses of processing the application
and investigating the applicant's qualifications for licensure, the commis-
sion shall require the applicant to pay to the commission, at such times
and in such form as required by the commission, any additional amounts
necessary to pay such expenses. No license shall be issued to an applicant
until the applicant has paid such additional amounts in full, and such
amounts shall not be refundable except to the extent that they exceed the
actual expenses of processing the application and investigating the appli-
cant's qualifications for licensure.

      (b) If an applicant for an organization license is proposing to construct
a racetrack facility, such applicant, at the time of submitting the appli-
cation, shall deposit with the commission, in such form as prescribed by
rules and regulations of the commission, the sum of: (1) $500,000, if the
number of racing days applied for in a racing season is 150 days or more;
(2) $250,000, if the number of racing days applied for is less than 150
days; or (3) a lesser sum established by the commission, if the applicant
meets the qualifications set forth in subsection (a)(1) or (a)(2) of K.S.A.
74-8814, and amendments thereto, or if the applicant will be conducting
races only on the state fairgrounds. Only one such deposit shall be re-
quired for a dual racetrack facility. The executive director shall promptly
remit any deposit received pursuant to this subsection to the state trea-
surer in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amend-
ments thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance, the state treasurer
shall deposit the entire amount in the state treasury and credit it to the
credit of the racing applicant deposit fund created by K.S.A. 74-8828, and
amendments thereto. If the application is denied by the commission, the
deposit, and any interest accrued thereon, shall be refunded to the ap-
plicant. If the license is granted by the commission in accordance with
the terms of the application or other terms satisfactory to the applicant,
the deposit, and any interest accrued thereon, shall be refunded to the
licensee upon completion of the racetrack facility in accordance with the
terms of the license. If the licensee fails to complete the racetrack facility
in accordance with the terms of the license, the deposit, and any interest
accrued thereon, shall be forfeited by the applicant.

      (c) To qualify for an organization license to conduct horse or grey-
hound races:

      (1) The applicant shall be a bona fide, nonprofit organization which,
if applicable, meets the requirements of subsection (d);

      (2) the applicant shall have, either by itself or through contractual
relationships with other persons or businesses approved by the commis-
sion, the financial capability, manpower and technical expertise, as de-
termined by the commission, to properly conduct horse races or grey-
hound races, or both, and, if applicable, to operate a parimutuel wagering
system;

      (3) if the applicant is proposing to construct a racetrack facility, the
applicant shall submit detailed plans for the construction of such facility,
including the means and source of financing such construction and op-
eration, sufficient to convince the commission that such plans are feasible;

      (4) submit for commission approval a written copy of each contract
and agreement which the applicant proposes to enter into, including all
those listed in subsection (n), which contracts and agreements shall con-
form to the restrictions placed thereon by subsections (n), (o) and (p);

      (5) the applicant shall propose to conduct races within only one
county, and in such county the majority of the qualified electors have
approved either: (A) The constitutional amendment permitting the con-
duct of horse and dog races and parimutuel wagering thereon; or (B) a
proposition permitting horse and dog races and parimutuel wagering
thereon within the boundaries of such county;

      (6) no director, officer, employee or agent of the applicant shall have
been convicted of any of the following in any court of any state or of the
United States or shall have been adjudicated in the last five years in any
such court of committing as a juvenile an act which, if committed by an
adult, would constitute any of the following: (A) Fixing of horse or grey-
hound races; (B) illegal gambling activity; (C) illegal sale or possession of
any controlled substance; (D) operation of any illegal business; (E) re-
peated acts of violence; or (F) any felony;

      (7) no director or officer of the applicant shall be addicted to, and a
user of, alcohol or a controlled substance; and

      (8) no director or officer of the applicant shall have failed to meet
any monetary or tax obligation to the federal government or to any state
or local government, whether or not relating to the conduct or operation
of a race meet held in this state or any other jurisdiction.

      (d) To qualify for an organization license to conduct horse or grey-
hound races, a nonprofit organization, other than a fair association, a
horsemen's nonprofit organization or a nonprofit organization conducting
races only on the state fair grounds, shall:

      (1) Distribute all of its net earnings from the conduct of horse and
greyhound races, other than that portion of the net earnings which is
necessary to satisfy the debt service obligations, not otherwise deducted
from net earnings, of an organization licensee owning the racetrack facility
or that portion of the net earnings which is set aside as reasonable reserves
for future improvement, maintenance and repair of the racetrack facility
owned by the organization licensee, only to organizations, other than it-
self, which: (A) Have been exempted from the payment of federal income
taxes pursuant to section 501(c)(3) of the federal internal revenue code
of 1986, as in effect July 1, 1987, (B) are domiciled in this state and (C)
expend the moneys so distributed only within this state;

      (2) distribute not more than 25% of such net earnings to any one
such organization in any calendar year;

      (3) not engage in, and have no officer, director or member who en-
gages in, any prohibited transaction, as defined by section 503(b) of the
federal internal revenue code of 1986, as in effect July 1, 1987; and

      (4) have no officer, director or member who is not a bona fide resi-
dent of this state.

      (e) Within 30 days after the date specified for filing, the commission
shall examine each application for an organization license for compliance
with the provisions of this act and rules and regulations of the commission.
If any application does not comply with the provisions of this act or rules
and regulations of the commission, the application may be rejected or the
commission may direct the applicant to comply with the provisions of this
act or rules and regulations of the commission within a reasonable time,
as determined by the commission. Upon proof by the applicant of com-
pliance, the commission may reconsider the application. If an application
is found to be in compliance and the commission finds that the issuance
of the license would be within the best interests of horse and greyhound
racing within this state from the standpoint of both the public interest
and the horse or greyhound industry, as determined solely within the
discretion of the commission, the commission may issue an organization
license to the applicant. The commission shall approve the issuance of
organization licenses for a period established by the commission but not
to exceed 25 years. Such license may provide that during its term it con-
stitutes an exclusive license within a radius of the location specified in
the license, as determined by the commission. No racing of any kind
regulated by this act shall be conducted by any other person within the
territory covered by such exclusive license without the written consent of
the licensee. For each license issued, the commission shall specify the
location, type, time and date of all races and race meetings which the
commission has approved for the licensee to conduct. The license shall
be issued upon receipt of the license fee and the furnishing of a surety
bond or other financial security approved by the commission, conditioned
on, and in an amount determined by the commission as sufficient to pay,
the licensee's potential financial liability for unpaid taxes, purses and dis-
tribution of parimutuel winnings and breakage. No organization license
shall be transferred to any other organization or entity.

      (f) When considering the granting of organization licenses or racing
days between two or more competing applicants, the commission shall
give consideration to the following factors:

      (1) The character, reputation, experience and financial stability of
those persons within the applicant organizations who will be supervising
the conduct of the races and parimutuel wagering for the organization;

      (2) the quality of the racing facilities and adjoining accommodations;

      (3) the amount of revenue that can reasonably be expected to be
generated from state and local taxes, the economic impact for the re-
spective horse or greyhound breeding industries in Kansas and the indi-
rect economic benefit to the surrounding area, in the determination of
which economic benefit the commission shall solicit written recommen-
dations from all interested parties in the surrounding area;

      (4) the location of the race meetings in relation to the principal cen-
ters of population and the effect of such centers on the ability of the
organizations to sustain a financially sound racing operation; and

      (5) testimony from interested parties at public hearings to be con-
ducted in the geographic areas where the applicants would be conducting
their race meetings.

      (g) Except as otherwise provided pursuant to K.S.A. 74-8814, and
amendments thereto, each organization licensee shall pay a license fee in
the amount of $200 for each day of racing approved by the commission.
Such fees shall be paid at such times and by such means as prescribed by
rules and regulations of the commission. The commission may authorize
the state treasurer to refund from the state racing fund a fee paid for any
racing day which was canceled with advance notice to and with the ap-
proval of the commission.

      (h) Organization licensees may apply to the commission for changes
in approved race meetings or dates or for additional race meetings or
dates as needed throughout the terms of their licenses. Application shall
be made upon forms furnished by the commission and shall contain or
be accompanied by such information as the commission prescribes. Upon
approval by the commission, the organization licensee shall pay an addi-
tional license fee for any race days in excess of the number originally
approved and included in the calculation of the initial license fee.

      (i) All organization licenses shall be reviewed annually by the com-
mission to determine if the licensee is complying with the provisions of
this act and rules and regulations of the commission and following such
proposed plans and operating procedures as were approved by the com-
mission. The commission may review an organization license more often
than annually upon its own initiative or upon the request of any interested
party. The commission shall require each organization licensee, other
than a fair association, or horsemen's nonprofit organization, to file an-
nually with the commission a certified financial audit of the licensee by
an independent certified public accountant, which audit shall be open to
inspection by the public, and may require an organization licensee to
provide any other information necessary for the commission to conduct
the annual or periodic review.

      (j) Subject to the provisions of subsection (k), the commission, in
accordance with the Kansas administrative procedure act, may suspend
or revoke an organization license or may impose a civil fine not exceeding
$5,000, or may both suspend such license and impose such fine, for each
of the following violations by a licensee:

      (1) One or more violations, or a pattern of repeated violations, of the
provisions of this act or rules and regulations of the commission;

      (2) failure to follow one or more provisions of the licensee's plans for
the financing, construction or operation of a racetrack facility as submitted
to and approved by the commission;

      (3) failure to maintain compliance with the requirements of subsec-
tion (c) or (d), if applicable, for the initial issuance of an organization
license;

      (4) failure to properly maintain or to make available to the commis-
sion such financial and other records sufficient to permit the commission
to verify the licensee's nonprofit status and compliance with the provisions
of this act or rules and regulations of the commission;

      (5) providing to the commission any information material to the is-
suance, maintenance or renewal of the licensee's license knowing such
information to be false or misleading;

      (6) failure to meet the licensee's financial obligations incurred in con-
nection with the conduct of a race meeting; or

      (7) a violation of K.S.A. 74-8833, and amendments thereto, or any
rules and regulations adopted pursuant to that section.

      (k) Prior to suspension or revocation of a license pursuant to subsec-
tion (j), the commission shall give written notice of the reason therefor
in detail to the organization licensee and to all facility owner and facility
manager licensees with whom the organization licensee is doing business.
Upon receipt of such notice by all of such licensees, the organization
licensee shall have 30 days in which to cure the alleged violation, if it can
be cured. If the commission finds that the violation has not been cured
upon expiration of the 30 days, or upon a later deadline granted by the
commission, or if the commission finds that the alleged violation is of
such a nature that it cannot be cured, the commission shall proceed to
suspend or revoke the license pursuant to subsection (j). Nothing in this
subsection shall be construed to preclude the commission from imposing
a fine pursuant to subsection (j) even if the violation is cured within 30
days or such other period as provided by the commission.

      (l) Prior to the expiration of an organization license, the organization
may apply to the commission for renewal of such license. The renewal
application shall be in a form and include such information as the com-
mission prescribes. The commission shall grant such renewal if the or-
ganization meets all of the qualifications required for an initial license.
The commission may charge a fee for the processing of the renewal ap-
plication not to exceed the application fee authorized for an initial license.

      (m) Once an organization license has been issued, no person there-
after and during the term of such license shall in any manner become the
owner or holder, directly or indirectly, of any shares of stock or certificates
or other evidence of ownership or become a director or officer of such
organization licensee without first having obtained the written approval
of the commission.

      (n) An organization licensee shall submit to the commission for ap-
proval a copy of each contract and agreement which the organization
licensee proposes to enter into and any proposed modification of any such
contract or agreement, including but not limited to those involving:

      (1) Any person to be employed by the organization licensee;

      (2) any person supplying goods and services to the organization li-
censee, including management, consulting or other professional services;

      (3) any lease of facilities, including real estate or equipment or other
personal property; or

      (4) the operation of any concession within or adjacent to the racetrack
facility.

      The commission shall reject any such contract or agreement which
violates any provision of this act or rules and regulations of the commis-
sion, which provides for payment of money or other valuable considera-
tion which is clearly in excess of the fair market value of the goods, serv-
ices or facilities being purchased or leased or which, in the case of a
contract or agreement with a facility owner licensee or a facility manager
licensee, would not protect the organization licensee from incurring losses
due to contractual liability.

      (o) Organization licensees shall not by lease, contract, agreement, un-
derstanding or arrangement of any kind grant, assign or turn over to any
person the parimutuel system of wagering described in K.S.A. 74-8819,
and amendments thereto, or the operation and conduct of any horse or
greyhound race to which such wagering applies, but this subsection shall
not prohibit the organization licensee from contracting with and com-
pensating others for providing services in connection with the financing,
acquisition, construction, equipping, maintenance and management of
the racetrack facility; the hiring and training of personnel; the promotion
of the facility; operation and conduct of a simulcast race displayed by a
simulcasting licensee; parimutuel wagering at racetrack facilities; and par-
imutuel wagering at off-track wagering and intertrack wagering facilities
in other jurisdictions to which live races conducted by the organization
licensee are simulcast.

      (p) An organization licensee shall not in any manner permit a person
other than such licensee to have a share, percentage or proportion of
money received from parimutuel wagering at the racetrack facility except
as specifically set forth in this act, except that:

      (1) A facility owner licensee may receive gross percentage rental fees
under a lease if all terms of the lease are disclosed to the commission and
such lease is approved by the commission;

      (2) a person who has contracted with an organization licensee to pro-
vide one or more of the services permitted by subsection (o) may receive
compensation in the form of a percentage of the money received from
parimutuel wagering if such contract is approved by the commission and
such person is licensed as a facility manager; and

      (3) a person who has contracted with a simulcasting licensee to allow
such licensee to display a simulcast race conducted by such person may
receive compensation in the form of a percentage of or a fee deducted
from the money received by the licensee from parimutuel wagers placed
on such race if such contract is filed with the commission.

      (q) Directors or officers of an organization licensee are not liable in
a civil action for damages arising from their acts or omissions when acting
as individual directors or officers, or as a board as a whole, of a nonprofit
organization conducting races pursuant to this act, unless such conduct
constitutes willful or wanton misconduct or intentionally tortious conduct,
but only to the extent the directors and officers are not required to be
insured by law or are not otherwise insured against such acts or omissions.
Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect the liability of an
organization licensee for damages in a civil action caused by the negligent
or wrongful acts or omissions of its directors or officers, and a director's
or officer's negligence or wrongful act or omission, while acting as a di-
rector or officer, shall be imputed to the organization licensee for the
purpose of apportioning liability for damages to a third party pursuant to
K.S.A. 60-258a, and amendments thereto.

      (r) If an applicant for an organization license proposes to construct a
racetrack facility and the commission determines that such license should
be issued to the applicant, the commission shall issue to the applicant an
organization license conditioned on the submission by the licensee to the
commission, within a period of time prescribed by the commission, of a
commitment for financing the construction of the racetrack facility by a
financial institution or other source, subject to approval by the commis-
sion. If such commitment is not submitted within the period of time
originally prescribed by the commission or such additional time as au-
thorized by the commission, the license shall expire at the end of such
period.

      (s) If an organization licensee's license authorizes the construction of
a dual racetrack facility, such license shall be conditioned on the comple-
tion of such facility within a time specified by the commission. If, within
the time specified by the commission, the licensee has not constructed a
dual racetrack facility in accordance with the plans submitted to the com-
mission pursuant to subsection (c)(3), the commission, in accordance with
the Kansas administrative procedure act, shall:

      (1) Impose upon the licensee a civil fine equal to 5% of the total
parimutuel pools for all races held at the licensee's facility on and after
the date that racing with parimutuel wagering is first conducted at such
facility and until the date that construction of the dual racetrack facility
is completed and horse racing has begun; and

      (2) revoke the licensee's license unless the licensee demonstrates rea-
sonable cause for the failure to complete the facility.

      (t) Any license granted an organization licensee to conduct races at a
dual racetrack facility shall be conditioned on the organization licensee's
conducting live horse races on not less than 20% of the annual racing
days granted the licensee by the commission. If an organization licensee
fails to comply with such condition, the commission may revoke the or-
ganization licensee's license unless the licensee demonstrates reasonable
justification for the failure.

      (u) The refusal to renew an organization license shall be in accord-
ance with the Kansas administrative procedure act and shall be subject
to review under the act for judicial review and civil enforcement of agency
actions.

      (v) The grant or denial of an original organization license shall not be
subject to the Kansas administrative procedure act. Such grant or denial
shall be a matter to be determined in the sole discretion of the commis-
sion, whose decision shall be final upon the grant of a license to one of
two or more competing applicants without the necessity of a hearing on
the denial of a license to each other competing applicant. Any action for
judicial review of such decision shall be by appeal to the supreme court
in accordance with the act for judicial review and civil enforcement of
agency actions, except that the scope of review shall be limited to whether
the action of the commission was arbitrary or capricious or constituted
an abuse of discretion. All competing applicants for the organization li-
cense shall be parties to such appeal. Any such appeal shall have priority
over other cases except those having statutory priority.

      (w) The commission may adopt rules and regulations regulating
crossover employment between organization licensees and facility man-
ager licensees and facility owner licensees.

      Sec.  343. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 74-8815 is hereby amended to read as
follows: 74-8815. (a) Any person, partnership, corporation or association,
or the state of Kansas or any political subdivision thereof, may apply to
the commission for a facility owner license to construct or own, or both,
a racetrack facility which includes a racetrack and other areas designed
for horse racing or greyhound racing, or both.

      (b) Any person, partnership, corporation or association may apply to
the commission for a facility manager license to manage a racetrack fa-
cility.

      (c) A facility owner license or a facility manager license shall be issued
for a period established by the commission but not to exceed 25 years.
The application for a facility owner license shall be accompanied by a
nonrefundable fee of $5,000. An application for a facility manager license
shall be accompanied by a nonrefundable fee of $5,000. If the application
fee is insufficient to pay the reasonable expenses of processing the ap-
plication and investigating the applicant's qualifications for licensure, the
commission shall require the applicant to pay to the commission, at such
times and in such form as required by the commission, any additional
amounts necessary to pay such expenses. No license shall be issued to an
applicant until the applicant has paid such additional amounts in full, and
such amounts shall not be refundable except to the extent that they ex-
ceed the actual expenses of processing the application and investigating
the applicant's qualifications for licensure.

      (d) If an applicant for a facility owner license is proposing to construct
a racetrack facility, such applicant, at the time of submitting the appli-
cation, shall deposit with the commission, in such form as prescribed by
rules and regulations of the commission, the sum of: (1) $500,000, if the
number of racing days applied for by organization licensee applicants
proposing to race at the facility is 150 days or more in a racing season;
(2) $250,000, if such number of racing days applied for is less than 150
days; or (3) a lesser sum established by the commission, if the applicant
is the state or a political subdivision of the state. Only one such deposit
shall be required for a dual racetrack facility. The executive director shall
promptly remit any deposit received pursuant to this subsection to the
state treasurer in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and
amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance, the state trea-
surer shall deposit the entire amount in the state treasury and credit it to
the credit of the racing applicant deposit fund created by K.S.A. 74-8828,
and amendments thereto. If the application is denied by the commission,
the deposit, and any interest accrued thereon, shall be refunded to the
applicant. If the license is granted by the commission in accordance with
the terms of the application or other terms satisfactory to the applicant,
the deposit, and any interest accrued thereon, shall be refunded to the
licensee upon completion of the racetrack facility in accordance with the
terms of the license. If the licensee fails to complete the racetrack facility
in accordance with the terms of the license, the deposit, and any interest
accrued thereon, shall be forfeited by the applicant.

      (e) A facility owner license shall be granted only to an applicant that
already owns an existing racetrack facility or has submitted with its ap-
plication detailed plans for the construction of such facility, including the
means and source of financing such construction and operation sufficient
to convince the commission that such plans are feasible. A facility man-
ager license shall be granted only to an applicant that has a facility man-
agement contract with an organization licensed pursuant to K.S.A. 74-
8813, and amendments thereto.

      (f) An applicant for a facility owner license or facility manager license,
or both, shall not be granted a license if there is substantial evidence that
the applicant for the license, or any officer or director, stockholder, mem-
ber or owner of or other person having a financial interest in the applicant:

      (1) Has been suspended or ordered to cease operation of a parimu-
tuel racing facility in another jurisdiction by the appropriate authorities
in that jurisdiction, has been ordered to cease association or affiliation
with such a racing facility or has been banned from such a racing facility;

      (2) has been convicted by a court of any state or of the United States
of any criminal act involving fixing or manipulation of parimutuel races,
violation of any law involving gambling or controlled substances or drug
violations involving horses or greyhounds, or has been adjudicated in the
last five years in any such court of committing as a juvenile an act which,
if committed by an adult, would constitute such a criminal act, or if any
employee or agent assisting the applicant in activities relating to owner-
ship or management of a racetrack facility or to the conduct of races has
been so convicted or adjudicated;

      (3) has been convicted by a court of any state or of the United States
of any felony involving dishonesty, fraud, theft, counterfeiting, alcohol
violations or embezzlement, or has been adjudicated in the last five years
in any such court of committing as a juvenile an act which, if committed
by an adult, would constitute such a felony, or if any employee or agent
assisting the applicant in activities relating to ownership or management
of a racetrack facility or to the conduct of races has been so convicted or
adjudicated;

      (4) has not demonstrated financial responsibility sufficient to meet
the obligations being undertaken pursuant to its contract with the organ-
ization licensee;

      (5) is not in fact the person or entity authorized to or engaged in the
licensed activity;

      (6) is or becomes subject to a contract or option to purchase under
which 10% or more of the ownership or other financial interest or mem-
bership interest are subject to purchase or transfer, unless the contract
or option has been disclosed to the commission and the commission has
approved the sale or transfer during the license period;

      (7) has made a statement of a material fact in the application or oth-
erwise in response to official inquiry by the commission knowing such
statement to be false; or

      (8) has failed to meet any monetary or tax obligation to the federal
government or to any state or local government, whether or not relating
to the conduct or operation of a race meet held in this state or any other
jurisdiction.

      (g) No person or entity shall be qualified to hold a facility manager
license if such person or entity, or any director, officer, employee or agent
thereof, is addicted to, and a user of, alcohol or a controlled substance.

      (h) All facility owner licenses and facility manager licenses shall be
reviewed annually by the commission to determine if the licensee is com-
plying with the provisions of this act and rules and regulations of the
commission and following such proposed plans and operating procedures
as were approved by the commission. The commission may review a fa-
cility owner license or facility manager license more often than annually
upon its own initiative or upon the request of any interested party. The
commission shall require each facility owner licensee and each facility
manager licensee to file annually with the commission a certified financial
audit of the licensee by an independent certified public accountant, which
audit shall be open to inspection by the public, and may require any such
licensee to provide any other information necessary for the commission
to conduct the annual or periodic review.

      (i) Subject to the provisions of subsection (j), the commission, in ac-
cordance with the Kansas administrative procedure act, may suspend or
revoke a facility owner or facility manager license or may impose a civil
fine not exceeding $10,000 per failure or violation, or may both suspend
such license and impose such fine, if the commission finds probable cause
to believe that:

      (1) In the case of a facility owner licensee, the licensee has failed to
follow one or more provisions of the licensee's plans for the financing,
construction or operation of a racetrack facility as submitted to and ap-
proved by the commission; or

      (2) in the case of either a facility owner licensee or facility manager
licensee, the licensee has violated any of the terms and conditions of
licensure provided by this section or any other provision of this act or any
rule and regulation of the commission.

      (j) Prior to suspension or revocation of a license pursuant to subsec-
tion (i), the commission shall give written notice of the reason therefor
to the licensee and all other interested parties. The licensee shall have 30
days from receipt of the notice to cure the alleged failure or violation, if
it can be cured. If the commission finds that the failure or violation has
not been cured upon expiration of the 30 days or upon a later deadline
granted by the commission, or if the alleged violation is of such a nature
that it cannot be cured, the commission may proceed to suspend or revoke
the licensee's license pursuant to subsection (i). Nothing in this subsection
shall be construed to preclude the commission from imposing a fine pur-
suant to subsection (i) even if the violation is cured within 30 days or such
other period as provided by the commission.

      (k) If an applicant for a facility owner license proposes to construct
a racetrack facility and the commission determines that such license
should be issued to the applicant, the commission shall issue to the ap-
plicant a facility owner license conditioned on the submission by the li-
censee to the commission, within a period of time prescribed by the
commission, of a commitment for financing the construction of the race-
track facility by a financial institution or other source, subject to approval
by the commission. If such commitment is not submitted within the pe-
riod of time originally prescribed by the commission or such additional
time as authorized by the commission, the license shall expire at the end
of such period.

      (l) If a facility owner licensee's license authorizes the construction of
a dual racetrack facility, such license shall be conditioned on the comple-
tion of such facility within a time specified by the commission. If, within
the time specified by the commission, the licensee has not constructed a
dual racetrack facility in accordance with the plans submitted to the com-
mission pursuant to subsection (e), the commission, in accordance with
the Kansas administrative procedure act, shall:

      (1) Impose upon the licensee a civil fine equal to 5% of the total
parimutuel pools for all races held at the licensee's facility on and after
the date that racing with parimutuel wagering is first conducted at such
facility and until the date that construction of the dual racetrack facility
is completed and horse racing has begun; and

      (2) revoke the licensee's license unless the licensee demonstrates rea-
sonable cause for the failure to complete the facility.

      (m) The refusal to renew a facility owner license or a facility manager
license shall be in accordance with the Kansas administrative procedure
act and shall be subject to review under the act for judicial review and
civil enforcement of agency actions.

      (n) The grant or denial of an original facility owner license or facility
manager license shall not be subject to the Kansas administrative pro-
cedure act. Such grant or denial shall be a matter to be determined in
the sole discretion of the commission, whose decision shall be final upon
the grant of a license to one of two or more competing applicants without
the necessity of a hearing on the denial of a license to each other com-
peting applicant. Any action for judicial review of such decision shall be
by appeal to the supreme court in accordance with the act for judicial
review and civil enforcement of agency actions, except that the scope of
review shall be limited to whether the action of the commission was ar-
bitrary or capricious or constituted an abuse of discretion. All competing
applicants for the facility owner license or facility manager license shall
be parties to such appeal. Any such appeal shall have priority over other
cases except those having statutory priority.

      (o) The commission may adopt rules and regulations regulating cross-
over employment between facility manager licensees and facility owner
licensees and organization licensees.

      Sec.  344. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 74-8818 is hereby amended to read as
follows: 74-8818. (a) The commission shall appoint at least three individ-
uals to serve as stewards or racing judges at each horse or greyhound race
meeting, but not more than three such stewards or judges shall be on
duty at any one time at any racing performance. One shall be designated
as the chief steward or chief racing judge and the other two as associate
stewards or associate racing judges. Such stewards and racing judges shall
be employees of the commission who shall serve at the pleasure of the
commission under the supervision of the executive director and shall be
in the unclassified service under the Kansas civil service act. The com-
mission also may contract with individuals to serve as stewards or racing
judges as needed in the absence of a full-time steward or racing judge.
The compensation of the stewards and racing judges shall be an amount
fixed by the commission and shall be paid by the commission. The com-
mission may require an organization licensee to reimburse the commis-
sion for compensation paid to the stewards and racing judges for their
services performed at race meetings conducted by that organization li-
censee. Any moneys received by the commission for that purpose shall
be remitted promptly by the commission to the state treasurer, who in
accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments
thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance, the state treasurer shall
deposit the entire amount in the state treasury and credit it to the credit
of the racing reimbursable expense fund created by K.S.A. 74-8827, and
amendments thereto. All other racing officials at a race meeting shall be
approved by the commission and compensated by the organization li-
censee. The stewards, racing judges and other racing officials shall en-
force the civil provisions of this act and any rules and regulations of the
commission and shall submit written reports of the activities and conduct
of the race meetings to the commission.

      (b) Each steward or racing judge shall be required to obtain an oc-
cupation license from the commission pursuant to K.S.A. 74-8816, and
amendments thereto, prior to performing any duties as a steward or a
judge, except that an unlicensed employee of the commission may serve
as a steward or racing judge on a temporary basis if the employee has had
the same criminal history record check, background investigation and
training, and has passed the same examination, as required for other stew-
ards and racing judges.

      (c) The commission shall require each applicant for a license as a
steward or racing judge to pass an examination on matters relating to the
duties of stewards or racing judges unless the applicant submits proof
satisfactory to the commission that the applicant has passed an exami-
nation in another jurisdiction which the commission finds equivalent to
the examination given by the commission. Examinations shall be held at
such times and places as determined by the commission. Notice of the
times and places of the examinations shall be given as determined by the
commission. The commission shall prepare both written and oral exam-
inations to be taken by persons applying for licensure as stewards or racing
judges, requesting and taking into consideration suggestions from rep-
resentatives of horsemen and horsewomen, greyhound owners, organi-
zation licensees, stewards, racing judges and other interested and knowl-
edgeable parties as to the content thereof.

      (d) The commission may examine any person who:

      (1) Has not been convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude or
of a felony;

      (2) has completed an accredited senior high school or its equivalent;

      (3) has been given a physical examination by a licensed physician
within 60 days prior to the date of application for the steward's or racing
judge's examination, indicating at least 20/20 vision or vision corrected to
at least 20/20, and normal hearing ability;

      (4) has: (A) At least five years' experience in the horse or greyhound
racing industry as a licensed trainer or jockey; (B) at least 10 years' ex-
perience in the horse or greyhound racing industry as a licensed owner
whose experience, knowledge, ability and integrity relative to the industry
are known to the commission; (C) at least three years' experience as a
licensed racing official, racing secretary, assistant racing secretary or di-
rector of racing; or (D) experience in the racing industry of a character
and for a length of time sufficient, in the opinion of the commission, to
be substantially equivalent to the experience requirement of subsection
(d)(4)(A), (B) or (C).

      (e) For the purpose of subsection (d)(4), one year's experience shall
mean at least 100 days actually worked within one calendar year. An
original license for a steward or racing judge issued pursuant to the pro-
visions of this act shall be issued for the calendar year in which it is issued
and shall be renewable for a period not to exceed three years as estab-
lished by rules and regulations of the commission. The commission shall
establish a license fee schedule consistent with the different periods for
which such licenses may be granted. The license shall be valid at all race
meetings in this state during the period for which it is issued, unless it is
suspended or revoked prior to the expiration of such period.

      Sec.  345. K.S.A. 74-8821 is hereby amended to read as follows: 74-
8821. (a) The breakage deducted from the amounts paid to winning ticket
holders for each parimutuel pool shall be computed by the organization
licensee and disbursed as set forth in subsections (b), (c) and (d). An
accounting of the amount and disposition of the breakage shall be made
by each organization licensee as directed by the commission. Except as
otherwise provided by K.S.A. 74-8836, and amendments thereto, the
breakage on minus pools shall be calculated in multiples of $.05 rather
than $.10.

      (b) All breakage proceeds from parimutuel wagering conducted by
the organization licensee on live horse races conducted by the licensee
shall be remitted by the licensee to the commission not later than the
15th day of the month following the race from which the breakage is
derived. The commission shall promptly remit any such proceeds received
to the state treasurer, who in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A.
75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance,
the state treasurer shall deposit the entire amount in the state treasury
and credit it to the credit of the Kansas horse breeding development fund
created by K.S.A. 74-8829, and amendments thereto.

      (c) All breakage proceeds from parimutuel wagering conducted by
the organization licensee on live greyhound races conducted by the li-
censee shall be distributed by the licensee not later than the 15th day of
the month following the race from which the breakage is derived as fol-
lows:

      (1) An amount equal to 50% of the breakage shall be used at racetrack
facilities where derived to supplement open stakes races as approved by
the commission; and

      (2) an amount equal to 50% of the breakage shall be paid as purses
directly to the breeders of Kansas-whelped greyhounds pursuant to rules
and regulations of the commission.

      (d) All breakage proceeds from parimutuel wagering conducted by a
simulcast licensee on simulcast races displayed by the licensee shall be
distributed as provided by K.S.A. 74-8836, and amendments thereto.

      Sec.  346. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 74-8822 is hereby amended to read as
follows: 74-8822. (a) Any person who claims to be entitled to any part of
a parimutuel pool conducted by an organization licensee and who fails to
claim the money due such person prior to the completion of the race
meeting at which the pool was formed may file with the organization
licensee within 60 days after the close of the race meeting:

      (1) A verified claim on a form prescribed and furnished by the com-
mission, setting forth such information as necessary to identify the par-
ticular pool and the amount claimed therefrom; and

      (2) a substantial portion of the parimutuel ticket upon which the
claim is based, sufficient to identify: (A) The particular racetrack, race
and horse or greyhound involved; (B) the amount wagered; and (C)
whether the ticket was a win, place or show ticket.

      (b) Upon proper application by the claimant or by the organization
licensee, the commission shall hear any disputed claim filed in accordance
with subsection (a) and shall consider the proof offered in its support.
Unless the claimant satisfactorily establishes the right to participate in the
pool, the claim shall be rejected. If the claim is allowed, the organization
licensee shall pay the amount of the claim to the claimant upon order of
the commission.

      (c) All unclaimed ticket proceeds from parimutuel wagering con-
ducted by the organization licensee on live horse race meetings conducted
by the licensee shall be remitted by the licensee to the commission on

additional costs shall be paid from the racing investigative expense fund.
The furnishing of assistance in such investigation shall be a transaction
between the commission and the respective agency and shall be settled
in accordance with K.S.A. 75-5516, and amendments thereto.

      Sec.  352. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 74-8836 is hereby amended to read as
follows: 74-8836. (a) Any organization licensee that conducts at least 150
days of live racing during a calendar year or a fair association that conducts
fewer than 22 days of live racing during a calendar year may apply to the
commission for a simulcasting license to display simulcast horse or grey-
hound races and to conduct intertrack parimutuel wagering thereon. If
the organization licensee conducts races at a racetrack facility that is
owned by a facility owner licensee, both licensees shall join in the appli-
cation. A simulcasting license granted to a fair association that conducts
fewer than 22 days of live racing shall restrict the fair association's display
of simulcast races to a number of days, including days on which it con-
ducts live races, equal to not more than twice the number of days on
which it conducts live races.

      (b)  (1) A simulcasting license granted to an organization licensee
other than a fair association shall authorize the display of simulcast races
at the racetrack facility where the live races are conducted so long as the
licensee conducts at least eight live races per day and an average of 10
live races per day per week. If a simulcasting licensee conducts live horse
races on a day when simulcast races are displayed by the licensee and the
licensee conducts fewer than an average of 10 live horse races per day
per week, not less than 80% of the races on which wagers are taken by
the licensee during such week shall be live races conducted by the li-
censee unless approved by the recognized horsemen's group or upon a
finding by the commission that the organization licensee was unable to
do so for reasonable cause. If a simulcast licensee conducts live greyhound
races on a day when simulcast races are displayed by the licensee and the
licensee schedules fewer than 13 live greyhound races during a perform-
ance on such day, not less than 80% of the races on which wagers are
taken by the licensee during such performance shall be live races con-
ducted by the licensee.

      (2) A simulcasting license granted to a fair association shall authorize
the display of simulcast races at the racetrack facility where the races are
conducted only if live races are scheduled for two or more days of the
same calendar week, except that the licensee may conduct simulcast races
in the week immediately before and immediately after a live meeting if
the total number of days on which simulcast races are displayed does not
exceed the total authorized in subsection (a). In no case shall the live
meet or simulcast races allowed under this subsection exceed 10 consec-
utive weeks. For purposes of this subsection, a calendar week shall be
measured from Monday through the following Sunday.

      (3) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), (b)(1) or (b)(2),
a fair association may apply to the commission for not more than five
additional days of simulcasting of special events. In addition, the com-
mission may authorize a fair association to display additional simulcast
races but, if such fair association is less than 100 miles from an organi-
zation licensee that is not a fair association, it also shall secure written
consent from that organization licensee.

      (4) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (b)(1), if an emer-
gency causes the cancellation of all or any live races scheduled for a day
or performance by a simulcasting licensee, the commission or the com-
mission's designee may authorize the licensee to display any simulcast
races previously scheduled for such day or performance.

      (5) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (b)(1), the commis-
sion may authorize the licensee to display simulcast special racing events
as designated by the commission.

      (c) The application for a simulcasting license shall be filed with the
commission at a time and place prescribed by rules and regulations of
the commission. The application shall be in a form and include such
information as the commission prescribes.

      (d) To qualify for a simulcasting license the applicant shall:

      (1) Comply with the interstate horse racing act of 1978 (15 U.S.C.
3001 et seq.) as in effect December 31, 1991;

      (2) submit with the application a written approval of the proposed

practice of medicine and surgery in Kansas for the required period of
time under an agreement entered into pursuant to K.S.A. 76-373 through

requirement, such person may make application to the chancellor of the
university of Kansas or the designee of the chancellor for permission to

ments under this act.

      (c) If the director discovers from the examination of the return, or
upon claim duly filed by the taxpayer or upon final judgment of the court

taxable year shall be deemed to have been paid on the last day prescribed
for filing the return for the taxable year to which such amount constitutes
a credit or payment, determined without regard to any extension of time

      (3) if any overpayment of tax results from a carryback of a net oper-
ating loss or net capital loss, such overpayment shall be deemed not to
have been made prior to the close of the taxable year in which such net
operating loss or net capital loss arises. For purposes of this paragraph,

for such overpayment is filed;

      (4) in the case of a credit, interest shall be allowed and paid from the
date of the overpayment to the due date of the amount against which the
credit is taken, except that if any overpayment of income tax is claimed
as a credit against estimated tax for the succeeding taxable year, such
amount shall be considered as a payment of the income tax for the suc-
ceeding taxable year, whether or not claimed as a credit in the return of
estimated tax for such succeeding taxable year, and no interest shall be
allowed or paid in such overpayment for the taxable year in which the
overpayment arises;

      (6) in the case of a refund, interest shall be allowed and paid from
the date of the overpayment to a date preceding the date of the refund
check by not more than 30 days, as determined by the director, whether
or not such refund check is accepted by the taxpayer after tender of such
check to the taxpayer, but acceptance of such check shall be without
prejudice to any right of the taxpayer to claim any additional overpayment
and interest thereon; and

      (7) if any overpayment is refunded within two months after the last
date prescribed, or permitted by extension of time, for filing the return
of such tax, or within two months after the return was filed, whichever is
later, no interest shall be allowed or paid. For the purposes of this section,

      Sec.  449. K.S.A. 79-3303 is hereby amended to read as follows: 79-
3303. (a) Each person engaged in the business of selling cigarettes in the
state of Kansas and each vending machine distributor shall obtain a license
as provided by this act. A separate application, license and fee is required
for each dealer establishment owned or operated by a dealer. A vending
machine operator is required to obtain a vending machine operator's mas-
ter license and, in addition, a separate permit for each vending machine
operated by the operator. A vending machine operator may submit one
application for the vending machine operator's master license and all per-
mits for vending machines operated by the operator. The license shall be
displayed in the dealer establishment and the vending machine permit
shall remain securely and visibly attached to the vending machine and
contain such information as the director may require. Any vending ma-
chine found without such permit attached to the machine shall be sealed
by an agent of the director and such seal shall be removed only by an
agent of the director after payment of the permit fee and the penalties
provided by this act.

      (b) The application for a vending machine operator's master license
and vending machine permits shall list the brand name and serial number
of each machine and such other information as required by the director.
Except in accordance with proper judicial order or as otherwise provided
by law, it shall be unlawful for any officer or employee of the division to
divulge or make known in any way the location of any vending machine
to any person not an officer or employee of the division, except that such
information may be divulged to any law enforcement officer for use in
the officer's official duties. Any officer or employee revealing any such
location in violation of this provision, in addition to the penalties otherwise
provided in this act, shall be dismissed from office.

      (c) A vending machine operator, in the course of business as a vend-
ing machine operator, may dispose of or sell vending machines without
securing a license to sell vending machines. The vending machine oper-
ator may move vending machines from one location to another and, if a
vending machine becomes inoperative or is disposed of, the permit for
such machine may be transferred to another machine. A vending machine
operator, within 10 days, shall notify the director of the brand name and
serial number of vending machines that become inoperative or that the
operator disposes of, sells, acquires or brings into service in this state as
additional machines.

      (d) The key to the lower or storage compartment of a vending ma-
chine shall remain only in the possession of the vending machine operator
or the operator's authorized agent. All services connected with the op-
eration of a vending machine shall be performed by the vending machine
operator or the operator's authorized agent. All vending machines shall
be subject to inspection by the director or the director's authorized
agents. No permit shall be issued for a vending machine unless it is con-
structed so that at least one package of each vertical column of cigarettes
located therein is visible showing tax indicia.

      (e) All vending machines operated on military installations shall have
a permit affixed to the machines and the cigarettes shall show tax indicia
of the Kansas tax.

      (f) On or before the 10th day of each month, each vending machine
distributor shall report to the director, on forms provided by the director,
all sales of cigarette vending machines by the distributor to persons in
the state of Kansas during the preceding month; the name and address
of the purchaser; and the brand name, serial number and sale price of
the machines.

      (g) Concurrently with a change in ownership of a dealer establish-
ment the license applicable to the establishment is void and shall be sur-
rendered to the director and shall not be transferred. On removal of a
dealer establishment from one location to another, the owner of the es-
tablishment shall notify the director and surrender the owner's license.
The director shall issue a new license for the unexpired term of the sur-
rendered license on payment of a fee of $2, to be deposited in the state
treasury and credited to the state general fund. If a dealer's license is lost,
stolen or destroyed, the director may issue a new license on proof of loss,
theft or destruction, at a cost of $2, to be deposited. The director shall
remit all moneys received under this subsection to the state treasurer in
accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments
thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance, the state treasurer shall
deposit the entire amount in the state treasury and credited to the credit
of the state general fund.

      Sec.  450. K.S.A. 79-3311 is hereby amended to read as follows: 79-
3311. The director shall design and designate indicia of tax payment to
be affixed to each package of cigarettes as provided by this act. The di-
rector shall sell water applied stamps only to licensed wholesale dealers
in the amounts of 1,000 or multiples thereof. Stamps applied by the heat
process shall be sold only in amounts of 30,000 or multiples thereof,
except that such stamps which are suitable for packages containing 25
cigarettes each shall be sold in amounts prescribed by the director. Meter
imprints shall be sold only in amounts of 10,000 or multiples thereof.
Water applied stamps in amounts of 10,000 or multiples thereof and
stamps applied by the heat process and meter imprints shall be supplied
to wholesale dealers at a discount of 2.65% from the face value thereof,
and shall be deducted at the time of purchase or from the remittance
therefor as hereinafter provided. Any wholesale cigarette dealer who shall
file with the director a bond, of acceptable form, payable to the state of
Kansas with a corporate surety authorized to do business in Kansas, shall
be permitted to purchase stamps, and remit therefor to the director
within 30 days after each such purchase, up to a maximum outstanding
at any one time of 85% of the amount of the bond. Failure on the part
of any wholesale dealer to remit as herein specified shall be cause for
forfeiture of such dealer's bond. All revenue received from the sale of
such stamps or meter imprints shall be remitted to the state treasurer
daily in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amend-
ments thereto. Upon receipt thereof of each such remittance, the state
treasurer shall deposit the entire amount thereof in the state treasury.
The state treasurer shall first credit such amount thereof as the director
shall order to the cigarette tax refund fund and shall credit the remaining
balance to the state general fund. A refund fund designated the cigarette
tax refund fund not to exceed $10,000 at any time shall be set apart and
maintained by the director from taxes collected under this act and held
by the state treasurer for prompt payment of all refunds authorized by
this act. Such cigarette tax refund fund shall be in such amount as the
director shall determine is necessary to meet current refunding require-
ments under this act.

      The wholesale cigarette dealer shall affix to each package of cigarettes
stamps or tax meter imprints required by this act prior to the sale of
cigarettes to any person, by such dealer or such dealer's agent or agents,
within the state of Kansas. The director is empowered to authorize whole-
sale dealers to affix revenue tax meter imprints upon original packages of
cigarettes and is charged with the duty of regulating the use of tax meters
to secure payment of the proper taxes. No wholesale dealer shall affix
revenue tax meter imprints to original packages of cigarettes without first
having obtained permission from the director to employ this method of
affixation. If the director approves the wholesale dealer's application for
permission to affix revenue tax meter imprints to original packages of
cigarettes, the director shall require such dealer to file a suitable bond
payable to the state of Kansas executed by a corporate surety authorized
to do business in Kansas. The director may, to assure the proper collection
of taxes imposed by the act, revoke or suspend the privilege of imprinting
tax meter imprints upon original packages of cigarettes. All meters shall
be under the direct control of the director, and all transfer assignments
or anything pertaining thereto must first be authorized by the director.
All inks used in the stamping of cigarettes must be of a special type
devised for use in connection with the machine employed and approved
by the director. All repairs to the meter are strictly prohibited except by
a duly authorized representative of the director. Requests for service shall
be directed to the director. Meter machine ink imprints on all packages
shall be clear and legible. If a wholesale dealer continuously issues illeg-
ible cigarette tax meter imprints, it shall be considered sufficient cause
for revocation of such dealer's permit to use a cigarette tax meter.

      A licensed wholesale dealer may, for the purpose of sale in another
state, transport cigarettes not bearing Kansas indicia of tax payment
through the state of Kansas provided such cigarettes are contained in
sealed and original cartons.

      Sec.  451. K.S.A. 79-3387 is hereby amended to read as follows: 79-
3387. (a) All revenue collected or received by the director from taxes
imposed by this act shall be remitted daily to the state treasurer, who in
accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments
thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance, the state treasurer shall
deposit the entire amount in the state treasury and credit it to the credit
of the state general fund.

      (b) All moneys received from license fees imposed by this act shall
be collected by the director and shall be remitted daily, who to the state
treasurer in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and
amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance, the state trea-
surer shall deposit the entire amount in the state treasury and credit it to
the credit of the cigarette and tobacco products regulation fund created
by K.S.A. 79-3391, and amendments thereto.

      Sec.  452. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 79-3391 is hereby amended to read as
follows: 79-3391. (a) In addition to or in lieu of any other civil or criminal
penalty provided by law, the secretary of revenue or the secretary's des-
ignee, upon a finding that a licensee under this act has violated any pro-
vision of this act or any provision of any rule and regulation of the sec-
retary of revenue adopted pursuant to this act shall impose on such
licensee a civil fine not exceeding $1,000 for each violation.

      (b) It shall be unlawful for any person, directly or indirectly, to: (1)
Sell, give or furnish any cigarettes or tobacco products to any person
under 18 years of age; or (2) buy any cigarettes or tobacco products for
any person under 18 years of age. In determining the fine to be imposed
under this subsection by a licensed retail dealer whose employee sold,
furnished or distributed the cigarettes or tobacco products, the secretary
of revenue or the secretary's designee shall consider it to be a mitigating
circumstance if the employee had completed a training program, ap-
proved by the secretary of revenue or the secretary's designee, in avoiding
sale, furnishing or distributing of cigarettes and tobacco products to per-
sons under 18 years of age.

      (c) No fine shall be imposed pursuant to this section except upon the
written order of the secretary of revenue or the secretary's designee to
the licensee who committed the violation. Such order shall state the vi-
olation, the fine to be imposed and the right of the licensee to appeal the
order. Such order shall be subject to appeal and review in the manner
provided by the Kansas administrative procedure act.

      (d) Any fine collected pursuant to this section shall be paid remitted
to the state treasurer, who in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A.
75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance,
the state treasurer shall deposit the entire amount in the state treasury
and credit it to the credit of the cigarette and tobacco products regulation
fund.

      (e) There is hereby created, in the state treasury, the cigarette and
tobacco products regulation fund. Moneys in the fund shall be expended
only for the enforcement of this act and rules and regulations adopted
pursuant to this act. Such expenditures shall be made in accordance with
appropriation acts upon warrants of the director of accounts and reports
issued pursuant to vouchers approved by the secretary of revenue or a
person designated by the secretary.

      (f) If a person violates subsection (b) for a second or subsequent
occurrence within a three-year period, the secretary may impose a grad-
uated fine upon such person for the second or subsequent occurrence.
For the purposes of imposing a fine under this section, if three or more
years have elapsed since a person has been found to have violated the
provisions of subsection (b), such person shall be treated as never having
violated subsection (b).

      Sec.  453. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 79-3408c is hereby amended to read as
follows: 79-3408c. (a) A tax is hereby imposed on the use, sale or delivery
of all motor-vehicle fuel or special fuel owned at 12:01 a.m. July 1, 1999,
and on July 1 of each year thereafter, by any licensed distributor or li-
censed retailer at a rate per gallon, or fraction thereof, equal to the
amount, if any, by which the tax per gallon, or fraction thereof, in effect
on such date as prescribed by K.S.A. 79-3408, and amendments thereto,
exceeds the rate of tax upon such motor-vehicle fuel or special fuel which
was in effect on the preceding day. Such tax shall be paid by the licensed
distributor or licensed retailer owning such motor-vehicle fuel or special
fuel at such time and date. On or before the 25th day of the month in
which a tax is imposed under this section, every such distributor and retail
dealer shall make a report to the director on a form prescribed and fur-
nished by the director showing the total number of gallons, or fraction
thereof, of such motor-vehicle fuel or special fuel owned at the time the
tax is imposed under this section and such report shall be accompanied
by a remittance of the tax due.

      Any licensed distributor or licensed retailer who shall fail to make such
report or pay such tax, within the time prescribed, shall be subject to the
same penalties and interest charges prescribed by the motor-vehicle fuel
or special fuel tax law for failure of a licensed distributor to make monthly
reports and payments of motor-vehicle fuel or special fuel tax. The pro-
visions of the motor-fuel tax law relating to remedies for the collection of
delinquent motor-fuel taxes from distributors shall apply to the collection
of taxes imposed by this section which have become delinquent from
licensed distributors and licensed retailers. All taxes, penalties and inter-
est collected by the director under the tax imposed by this section shall
be paid remitted by the director into to the state treasurer in accordance
with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon
receipt of each such remittance, the state treasurer shall deposit the entire
amount in the state treasury and the state treasurer shall credit the same
to the credit of the funds and in the amounts specified in K.S.A. 79-
34,142, and amendments thereto.

      (b) Whenever the rate of tax upon motor-vehicle fuels or special fuels
fixed pursuant to K.S.A. 79-3408, and amendments thereto, which be-
come effective on July 1, 1999, or on July 1 in any year thereafter is less
than the rate of tax upon such fuel in effect on the preceding day, the
licensed distributor or licensed retailer owning such fuel at 12:01 a.m. on
the date such reduction in taxes becomes effective shall be entitled to a
refund of taxes paid upon such fuel in an amount equal to the amount by
which taxes were reduced from the amount of motor-vehicle fuels or
special fuels taxes per gallon, or fraction thereof, actually paid upon each
gallon, or fraction thereof, of motor-vehicle fuels or special fuels multi-
plied by the number of gallons of motor-vehicle fuels or special fuels
owned by the distributor or dealer on such date. On or before the 25th
day of the month in which such tax is reduced, every such distributor and
retailer shall make a report to the director on a form prescribed and
furnished by the director showing the total number of gallons of such
motor-vehicle fuel or special fuel owned by such distributor or retailer at
12:01 a.m. on the date upon which such tax was reduced. It shall be the
duty of the director of taxation to examine all such claims and determine
the amount to which each claimant is entitled. In the event any distributor
or retailer entitled to such refund shall owe the state any motor-vehicle
fuel or special fuel tax, penalties, or interest, the refund authorized by
this section shall upon being determined by the director be credited upon
the amount of such taxes, penalties and interest. Whenever the director
shall determine that any distributor or retailer shall be entitled to a refund
under any of the provisions of this section, and such refund cannot be
effected by giving credit therefor, as hereinbefore provided, or against
the future motor-vehicle fuel or special fuel tax liability of such taxpayer
the director shall certify the amount of the refund to the state director
of accounts and reports, who shall draw a warrant for the amount so
certified on the state treasurer in favor of the distributor or retailer en-
titled to such refund, and mail, or otherwise deliver, the same to the
distributor entitled thereto. Such warrant shall be paid by the state trea-
surer to such distributor or retailer from the motor-vehicle fuel or special
fuel tax refund fund.

      (c) The provisions of this section shall not apply to any licensed re-
tailer who is a native American whose licensed place of business or busi-
nesses are located on such retailer's reservation, nor to any native Amer-
ican tribes having licensed places of business or businesses located on
such tribe's reservation.

      Sec.  456. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 79-3491a is hereby amended to read as
follows: 79-3491a. (a) A tax is hereby imposed on all LP-gas motor fuels
owned at 12:01 a.m. July 1, 1999, and on July 1 of each year thereafter,
by any LP-gas motor fuels user or LP-gas motor fuels dealer at a rate per
gallon, or fraction thereof, equal to the amount, if any, by which the tax
per gallon, or fraction thereof, in effect on such date as prescribed by
K.S.A. 79-3492, and amendments thereto, exceeds the rate of tax per
gallon actually paid upon such fuel. Such tax shall be paid by the LP-gas
motor fuel user or LP-gas motor fuel dealer owning such LP-gas motor
fuels at such time and date. On or before the 25th day of the month in
which such tax is imposed under this section, every such LP-gas motor
fuel user and LP-gas motor fuel dealer shall make a report to the director
on a form prescribed and furnished by the director showing the total
number of gallons, or fraction thereof, of such LP-gas motor fuels owned
by the user or dealer at the time the tax is imposed under this section,
and such report shall be accompanied by a remittance of the tax due.

      Any LP-gas motor fuels user or LP-gas motor fuels dealer who shall
fail to make such report or pay such tax, within the time prescribed, shall
be subject to the same penalties and interest charges prescribed by the
liquefied petroleum motor fuel tax law for failure of a licensed distributor
to make monthly reports and payments of LP-gas motor fuel tax. The
provisions of the liquefied petroleum motor fuel tax law relating to rem-
edies for the collection of delinquent LP-motor fuel taxes from distrib-
utors shall apply to the collection of taxes imposed by this section which
have become delinquent from LP-gas motor fuels users and LP-gas motor
fuels dealers. All taxes, penalties and interest collected by the director
under the tax imposed by this section shall be paid remitted by the di-
rector into to the state treasurer in accordance with the provisions of
K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such re-
mittance, the state treasurer shall deposit the entire amount in the state
treasury and the state treasurer shall credit the same to the credit of the
funds and in the amounts specified in K.S.A. 79-34,142, and amendments
thereto.

      The words and phrases used in this section shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in K.S.A. 79-3490, and amendments thereto.

      (b) Whenever the rate of tax upon LP-gas motor fuels fixed pursuant
to K.S.A. 79-3492, and amendments thereto, which becomes effective on
July 1, 1999, or on July 1 in any year thereafter, is less than the rate of
tax upon such fuels in effect on the preceding day, the user or dealer
owning such fuels at 12:01 a.m. on the date such reduction in taxes be-
comes effective shall be entitled to a refund of taxes paid upon such fuels
in an amount equal to the amount by which taxes were reduced from the
amount of tax per gallon, or fraction thereof, actually paid upon each
gallon, or fraction thereof, of LP-gas motor fuels multiplied by the num-
ber of gallons of fuel owned by the user or dealer on such date. On or
before the 25th day of the month in which such tax is reduced, every
such user or dealer shall make a report to the director on a form pre-
scribed and furnished by the director showing the total number of gallons
of such LP-gas motor fuels owned by such user or dealer at 12:01 a.m.
on the date upon which such tax was reduced. It shall be the duty of the
director of taxation to examine all such claims and determine the amount
to which any claimant is entitled. In the event any user or dealer entitled
to such refund shall owe the state any LP-gas motor fuels tax, penalties
or interest, the refund authorized by this section shall upon being deter-
mined by the director be credited upon the amount of such taxes, pen-
alties and interest. Whenever the director shall determine that any user
or dealer shall be entitled to a refund under any of the provisions of this
section, and such refund cannot be effected by giving credit therefor, as
hereinbefore provided, or against the future LP-gas motor fuel tax liability
of such taxpayer the director shall certify the amount of the refund to the
state director of accounts and reports, who shall draw a warrant for the
amount so certified on the state treasurer in favor of the user or dealer
entitled to such refund, and mail, or otherwise deliver, the same to the
user or dealer entitled thereto. Such warrant shall be paid by the state
treasurer to such user or dealer from the LP-gas motor fuels tax refund
fund which is hereby established in the state treasury.

      (c) A fund designated as the LP-gas motor fuels tax refund fund not
to exceed $1,000,000 shall be set apart and maintained by the director of
taxation from the LP-gas motor fuels tax collected under the provisions
of article 34 of chapter 79 of Kansas Statutes Annotated, and amendments
thereto, and held by the state treasurer for the payment of all refunds
authorized by this section.

      Sec.  457. K.S.A. 79-3495 is hereby amended to read as follows: 79-
3495. (a) Each LP-gas user or LP-gas dealer subject to the provisions of
this act must, on or before the 25th day of each calendar month, file with
the director a report, certified to be true and correct, on a form prescribed
and furnished by the director, showing the total number of gallons of LP-
gas placed into fuel supply tank or tanks of any motor vehicle while such
vehicle is within this state during the preceding calendar month, including
the number of gallons on hand at the beginning and end of each month,
the number of gallons received from any and all sources supported by
detailed schedules of receipts, purchases and withdrawals for sale or use,
and such other information as the director may require. Each LP-gas user
or LP-gas dealer at the time of filing each monthly report must pay to
the director the full amount of tax due for the preceding calendar month
at the rate provided for in this act.

      (b) Any tax imposed under the provisions of this act not paid as afore-
said on or before the 25th of the month succeeding the calendar month
in which the LP-gas was used shall be deemed delinquent and shall bear
interest at the rate per month, or fraction thereof prescribed by subsec-
tion (a) of K.S.A. 79-2968, and amendments thereto, from such due date
until paid, and in addition thereto there is hereby imposed upon all
amounts of such tax remaining due and unpaid after such due date a
penalty in the amount of 5% thereof, and such penalty shall be by the
director added to and collected as a part of such tax. If the LP-gas user
or LP-gas dealer furnishes evidence to the director that the delinquency
was due to causes beyond such user's or dealer's reasonable control, and
if in the opinion of the director the delinquency was not the result of
willful negligence of the LP-gas user or LP-gas dealer the penalty or
interest or both may be waived or reduced by the director.

      (c) The director, if satisfied that the enforcement of the act is not
adversely affected, may exempt any LP-gas user or LP-gas dealer from
the monthly reporting and payment requirements of this act and require
in lieu thereof annual payment of the tax due hereunder and annual re-
porting on forms provided by the director.

      (d) Whenever the secretary or the secretary's designee determines
that the failure of the taxpayer to comply with the provisions of subsection
(b) was due to reasonable causes, the secretary or the secretary's designee
may waive or reduce any of the penalties and may reduce the interest
rate to the underpayment rate prescribed and determined for the appli-
cable period under section 6621 of the federal internal revenue code as
in effect on January 1, 1994, upon making a record of the reasons therefor.

      (e) It shall be unlawful for any LP-gas user or LP-gas dealer to use
any LP-gas within this state unless such LP-gas user or LP-gas dealer is
a holder of an uncanceled, unsuspended or unrevoked license issued by
the director. To procure such license every applicant shall file with the
director an application upon oath and in such form as the director may
prescribe, setting forth the name and addresses, the kind of business, and
the designation of the exact locations or places of business where LP-gas
is delivered or placed into the fuel supply tank or tanks of a motor vehicle,
and such other information as the director may require. Such application
must also contain, as a condition to the issuance of the license, an agree-
ment by the applicant to comply with the provisions and requirements of
this act and the rules and regulations promulgated by the director. If the
applicant is a partnership or association, the application shall set forth the
name and address of each partner or person constituting the partnership,
or association, and if a corporation, the names and addresses of the prin-
cipal officers thereof, and any other information prescribed by the direc-
tor for the purposes of identification. The application shall be signed and
verified by oath or affirmation by the owner, if a natural person, and in
case of partnership or association, by a partner or member thereof, and
in case of a corporation, by an executive officer thereof or some person
specifically authorized by the corporation to sign the application, to which
shall be attached written evidence of such person's authority. Any valid
LP-gas user's or LP-gas dealer's license in effect on the effective date of
this act shall remain in full force and effect and no new application need
be made under this act.

      (f) In the event that any application for a license to use LP-gas as an
LP-gas user or LP-gas dealer in this state shall be filed by any person
whose license shall at any time theretofore have been canceled for cause,
or in case the director shall be of the opinion that such application is not
filed in good faith, or that such application is filed by some person as a
subterfuge for the real person in interest whose license or registration
shall theretofore have been canceled for cause, then and in any of such
events, the director may refuse to issue to such person a license in this
state. Notice of such refusal shall be mailed to the applicant. Any applicant
aggrieved by the order of the director refusing to issue a license may
request a hearing of the director on such application by filing with the
director a written request therefor. Upon such filing the director shall
conduct a hearing in accordance with the provisions of the Kansas ad-
ministrative procedure act. If the director finds upon such hearing that
applicant is entitled to a license, the director shall order its issuance, but
if the director finds that such applicant is not entitled to a license, such
director shall enter an order refusing issuance.

      (g) Upon the filing of the application for a license, a filing fee of $5
shall be paid to the director. All such fees collected by the director shall
be paid into remitted to the state treasurer in accordance with the pro-
visions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each
such remittance, the state treasurer shall deposit the entire amount in the
state treasury and the state treasurer shall credit the same to the credit
of the state general fund. The application in proper form having been
accepted for filing, the bond hereafter provided for having been accepted
and approved by the director and the other conditions and requirements
of this act having been complied with, the director shall issue to such
applicant a license and such license shall be in force so long as the holder
thereof has in force a bond as required by this act deposited with the
director, or until such license is suspended, surrendered, or revoked for
cause by the director. The license issued by the director shall not be
assignable and shall be valid only for the LP-gas user or LP-gas dealer in
whose name issued, and shall be displayed conspicuously by the LP-gas
user or LP-gas dealer at the user's or dealer's principal place of business
as set forth in the application.

      (h) In the event a person qualifies for both a user's and dealer's li-
cense, only one license shall be required. A copy of such user's or dealer's
license shall be required for each place of business of the licensee where
LP-gas is sold or dispensed. No charge shall be made for additional copies
of such user's or dealer's license when such copies are required for mul-
tiple business locations.
