or under another form of recognizance, shall be considered as a
matter
of law to include a condition that the defendant will not commit,
cause
to be committed or knowingly permit to be committed, on the

ject to the sanction provided by subsection (c) of K.S.A. 21-3835,
and
amendments thereto, whether or not the defendant was the
subject of an
order under K.S.A. 21-3834, and amendments thereto.

(a) in a
conspicuous location.

criminal defendant whether on bail or
under another form of recognizance who requests and is entitled
to the

ments thereto, shall be considered as a matter of law to include
a condition
that the defendant shall pay the application fee prescribed by

shall constitute a violation of this act. Willful violation of

all

fee. All moneys received pur-
suant to this section shall be remitted to the state treasurer in
accordance
with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments thereto.
