______
Senate Chamber, Topeka, Kansas

 The Senate was called to order by President Dick Bond.

 The roll was called with thirty-nine senators present.

 Senator Hardenburger was excused.

 Invocation by Senator Nancey Harrington:

                Dear Lord,

               In whom we live, and breath, and have our being.

                 I praise you for the freedom that is ours as a nation and a state.

                 Freedom that affords the opportunity to offer a prayer, in a public body
            such as this, the Kansas State Senate.

                 Lord God, let us not forget the connection between political and moral
            action.

                 That just as the anti - slavery Reformers understood:

             ``Politics rightly considered, is a branch of morals and cannot be deserted
            innocently.''

                 I now pray for the Governor, Senate leadership, all Senators and House
            members.

             Bless each one with your guiding wisdom, give us encouragement and inner
            strength to rightly serve the people of Kansas.

                 From one who knows your loving Grace, I pray this prayer in the Name
            of Jesus your Son.

                AMEN

treatment has been determined to be experimental or investigational and, (1) if the

reviews of adverse decisions pursuant to a contract with the commissioner. Such entity shall

administered by the state of Kansas, or be a nationally accredited external review
organization which utilizes health care providers actively engaged in the practice of their
profession in the state of Kansas who are qualified and credentialed with respect to the
health care service review. In the event no Kansas providers are qualified and credentialed

with or without regard to fault, whether written on a group, blanket or individual basis.

a final adverse decision and the opportunity for requesting an external review.

      (d) The insured has the right to request an independent external review of an adverse

available internal review procedures provided by the health insurance plan or insurer, unless

authorized designee of the insured.

      (f) The insured shall provide all information in the possession of the insured pertaining
to the adverse decision in order for the commissioner to make a preliminary determination
for an external review. The insured also shall provide the commissioner with an appeal form,
and a fully executed release for the commissioner and the external review organization to
obtain any necessary medical records from the insurer or health insurance plan and any
other relevant provider.

      (g) In responding to the commissioner, the insurer or health insurance plan shall provide
a copy of the adverse decision given to the insured and all medical and other records
pertaining to the insured's claim within five business days of the request of the
commissioner.

      (h) The confidentiality of any medical information submitted by the insured, on behalf
of the insured, insurer or health insurance plan, shall be maintained pursuant to applicable
state and federal laws.

      New Sec.  8. On and after January 1, 2000:

      (a) The commissioner shall:

      (1) Negotiate contracts with external review organizations which are eligible to conduct
independent review of the adverse decision by a health insurance plan or insurer;

      (2) allow the insurer or the health insurance plan, an insured or treating physician or
health care provider acting on behalf of the insured, or legally authorized designee filing a
request for external review to provide additional written information as may be relevant for
the commissioner to make a final decision on whether the request qualified for external
review;

      (3) make a decision on a request for external review within 10 business days after
receiving all necessary information;

      (4) notify the insured and treating physician or health care provider acting on behalf of
the insured, or legally authorized designee, and insurer or health insurance plan in writing

      (5) design and implement an expedited procedure for use in an emergency medical
condition for purposes of the external review organization rendering a decision.

      (b) The external review organization as defined in subsection (c) of section 6, and
amendments thereto, shall provide that all reviews completed pursuant to sections 6 through

providers with respect to the health care service under review and who have no conflict of
interest relating to the performance of the external review organization's duties in sections
6 through 9, and amendments thereto.

      (c) The external review organization shall issue a written decision to the insured and
concurrently send a copy of such decision to the commissioner including the basis and
rationale for its decision within 30 business days. The standard of review shall be whether
the health care service denied by the insurer or health insurance plan was medically
necessary under the terms of the insured's contract. In reviews regarding experimental or
investigational treatment, the standard of review shall be whether the health care service
denied by the insurer or health insurance plan was covered or excluded from coverage under
the terms of the insured's contract.

      (d) The external review organization shall provide expedited resolution when an
emergency medical condition exists, and shall resolve all issues within seven business days.

      (e) The external review organization shall maintain and report such data as may be
required by the commissioner in order to assess the effectiveness of the external review
process.

      (f) No external review organization nor any individual working on behalf of such
organization shall be liable in damages to any insured, health insurance plan or insurer for
any opinion rendered as part of an external review conducted pursuant to sections 6 through
9, and amendments thereto.

      (g) The external review organization shall maintain confidentiality of the medical records
of the insured in accordance to state and federal law.

      New Sec.  9. On and after January 1, 2000:

      (a) The decision of the external review organization may be reviewed directly by the
district court at the request of either the insured, insurer or health insurance plan. The
review by the district court shall be de novo. The decision of the external review organization
shall not preclude the insured, insurer or health insurance plan from exercising other
available remedies applicable under state or federal law. Seeking a review by the district
court or any other available remedies exercised by the insured, insurer or health insurance
plan after the decision of the external review organization will not stay the external review
organization's decision as to the payment or provision of services to be rendered during the
pendency of the review by the insurer or health insurance plan. All material used in an
external review and the decision of the external review organization as a result of the external
review shall be deemed admissible in any subsequent litigation.

      (b) In no event shall more than one external review be available during the same year
for any request arising out of the same set of facts. An insured may not pursue, either
concurrently or sequentially, an external review process under both a federal and state law.
In the event external review processes are available pursuant to federal law and this act, the
insured shall have the option of designating which external review process will be utilized.

      (c) The commissioner of insurance is hereby authorized to negotiate and enter into
contracts necessary to perform the duties required by sections 6 through 9, and amendments
thereto.

      (d) The commissioner of insurance shall adopt rules and regulations necessary to carry
out the purposes of sections 6 through 9, and amendments thereto. The rules and regulations
shall ensure that the commissioner is able to provide for an effective and efficient external
review of health care services.

      Sec.  10. On and after January 1, 2000, K.S.A. 8-173 is hereby amended to read as
follows: 8-173. (a) An application for registration of a vehicle as provided in article 1 of
chapter 8 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated and amendments thereto, shall not be accepted
unless the person making such application shall exhibit:

      (1) A receipt showing that such person has paid all personal property taxes levied against
such person for the preceding year, including taxes upon such vehicle, except that if such
application is made before June 21 such receipt need show payment of only one-half the
preceding year's tax; or

      (2) evidence that such vehicle was assessed for taxation purposes by a state agency, or
was assessed as stock in trade of a merchant or manufacturer or was exempt from taxation
under the laws of this state.

      (b) An application for registration of a vehicle as provided in article 1 of chapter 8 of
the Kansas Statutes Annotated shall not be accepted if the records of the county treasurer
show that the applicant is delinquent and owes personal property taxes levied against the
applicant for any preceding year.

      (c) An application for registration or renewal of registration of a motor vehicle shall not
be accepted until the applicant signs a certification, provided by the director of motor
vehicles, certifying that the applicant has and will maintain, during the period of registration,
the required insurance, self insurance or other financial security required pursuant to K.S.A.
40-3104 and amendments thereto.

      (d) An application for registration or renewal of registration of a vehicle shall not be
accepted if the applicant is unable to provide proof of the insurance, self insurance or other
financial security required by article 31 of chapter 40 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated.
Proof of insurance shall be verified by examination of the insurance card issued by an
insurance company, a certificate of self insurance issued by the commissioner, a binder of
insurance, a certificate of insurance, a motor carrier identification number issued by the
state corporation commission, proof of insurance for vehicles covered under a fleet policy, a
commercial policy covering more than one vehicle or a policy of insurance required by K.S.A.
40-3104, and amendments thereto and for vehicles used as part of a drivers education
program, a dealership contract and a copy of a motor vehicle liability insurance policy issued
to a school district or accredited nonpublic school. Examination of a photocopy of any of
these documents shall suffice for verification of mail registration or renewals.

      Sec.  11. On and after January 1, 2000, K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 40-3104 is hereby amended
to read as follows: 40-3104. (a) Every owner shall provide motor vehicle liability insurance
coverage in accordance with the provisions of this act for every motor vehicle owned by
such person, unless such motor vehicle: (1) Is included under an approved self-insurance
plan as provided in subsection (f); (2) is used as a driver training motor vehicle, as defined
in K.S.A. 72-5015, and amendments thereto, in an approved driver training course by a
school district or an accredited nonpublic school under an agreement with a motor vehicle
dealer, and such motor vehicle liability insurance coverage is provided by the school district
or accredited nonpublic school; (3) is included under a qualified plan of self-insurance
approved by an agency of the state in which such motor vehicle is registered and the form
prescribed in subsection (b) of K.S.A. 40-3106, and amendments thereto, has been filed; or
(4) is expressly exempted from the provisions of this act.

      (b) An owner of an uninsured motor vehicle shall not permit the operation thereof upon
a highway or upon property open to use by the public, unless such motor vehicle is expressly
exempted from the provisions of this act.

      (c) No person shall knowingly drive an uninsured motor vehicle upon a highway or upon
property open to use by the public, unless such motor vehicle is expressly exempted from
the provisions of this act.

      (d) Any person operating a motor vehicle upon a highway or upon property open to use
by the public shall display, upon demand, evidence of financial security to a law enforcement
officer. The law enforcement officer shall issue a citation to any person who fails to display
evidence of financial security upon such demand. The law enforcement officer shall attach
a copy of the insurance verification form prescribed by the secretary of revenue to the copy
of the citation forwarded to the court.

      No citation shall be issued to any person for failure to provide proof of financial security
when evidence of financial security meeting the standards of subsection (e) is displayed
upon demand of a law enforcement officer. Whenever the authenticity of such evidence is
questionable, the law enforcement officer may initiate the preparation of the insurance
verification form prescribed by the secretary of revenue by recording information from the
evidence of financial security displayed. The officer shall immediately forward the form to
the department of revenue, and the department shall proceed with verification in the
manner prescribed in the following paragraph. Upon return of a form indicating that
insurance was not in force on the date indicated on the form, the department shall
immediately forward a copy of the form to the law enforcement officer initiating preparation
of the form.

      (e) Unless the insurance company subsequently submits an insurance verification form
indicating that insurance was not in force, no person charged with violating subsections (b),
(c) or (d) shall be convicted if such person produces in court, within 10 days of the date of
arrest or of issuance of the citation, evidence of financial security for the motor vehicle
operated, which was valid at the time of arrest or of issuance of the citation. For the purpose
of this subsection, evidence of financial security shall be provided by a policy of motor
vehicle liability insurance, an identification card or certificate of insurance issued to the
policyholder by the insurer which provides the name of the insurer, the policy number and
the effective and expiration dates of the policy, or a certificate of self-insurance signed by
the commissioner of insurance. Upon the production in court of evidence of financial
security, the court shall record the information displayed thereon on the insurance
verification form prescribed by the secretary of revenue, immediately forward such form to
the department of revenue, and stay any further proceedings on the matter pending a
request from the prosecuting attorney that the matter be set for trial. Upon receipt of such
form the department shall mail the form to the named insurance company for verification
that insurance was in force on the date indicated on the form. It shall be the duty of insurance
companies to notify the department within 30 calendar days of the receipt of such forms of
any insurance that was not in force on the date specified. Upon return of any form to the
department indicating that insurance was not in force on such date, the department shall
immediately forward a copy of such form to the office of the prosecuting attorney or the
city clerk of the municipality in which such prosecution is pending when the prosecuting
attorney is not ascertainable. Receipt of any completed form indicating that insurance was
not in effect on the date specified shall be prima facie evidence of failure to provide proof
of financial security and violation of this section. A request that the matter be set for trial
shall be made immediately following the receipt by the prosecuting attorney of a copy of
the form from the department of revenue indicating that insurance was not in force. Any
charge of violating subsection (b), (c) or (d) shall be dismissed if no request for a trial setting
has been made within 60 days of the date evidence of financial security was produced in
court.

      (f) Any person in whose name more than 25 motor vehicles are registered in Kansas
may qualify as a self-insurer by obtaining a certificate of self-insurance from the
commissioner of insurance. The certificate of self-insurance issued by the commissioner
shall cover such owned vehicles and those vehicles, registered in Kansas, leased to such
person if the lease agreement requires that motor vehicle liability insurance on the vehicles
be provided by the lessee. Upon application of any such person, the commissioner of
insurance may issue a certificate of self-insurance, if the commissioner is satisfied that such
person is possessed and will continue to be possessed of ability to pay any liability imposed
by law against such person arising out of the ownership, operation, maintenance or use of
any motor vehicle described in this subsection. A self-insurer shall provide liability coverage
subject to the provisions of subsection (e) of K.S.A. 40-3107, and amendments thereto,
arising out of the ownership, operation, maintenance or use of a self-insured motor vehicle
in those instances where the lessee or the rental driver, if not the lessee, does not have a
motor vehicle liability insurance policy or insurance coverage pursuant to a motor vehicle
liability insurance policy or certificate of insurance or such insurance policy for such leased
or rented vehicle. Such liability coverage shall be provided to any person operating a self-
insured motor vehicle with the expressed or implied consent of the self-insurer.

      Upon notice and a hearing in accordance with the provisions of the Kansas administrative
procedure act, the commissioner of insurance may cancel a certificate of self-insurance upon
reasonable grounds. Failure to provide liability coverage or personal injury protection
benefits required by K.S.A. 40-3107 and 40-3109, and amendments thereto, or pay any
liability imposed by law arising out of the ownership, operation, maintenance or use of a
motor vehicle registered in such self-insurer's name, or to otherwise comply with the
requirements of this subsection shall constitute reasonable grounds for the cancellation of
a certificate of self-insurance. Reasonable grounds shall not exist unless such objectionable
activity occurs with such frequency as to indicate a general business practice.

      Self-insureds shall investigate claims in a reasonably prompt manner, handle such claims
in a reasonable manner based on available information and effectuate prompt, fair and
equitable settlement of claims in which liability has become reasonably clear.

      As used in this subsection, ``liability imposed by law'' means the stated limits of liability
as provided under subsection (e) of K.S.A. 40-3107, and amendments thereto.

      Nothing in this subsection shall preclude a self-insurer from pursuing all rights of
subrogation against another person or persons.

      (g)  (1) Any person violating any provision of this section shall be guilty of a class B
misdemeanor and shall be subject to a fine of not less than $200 $300 nor more than $1,000
or confinement in the county jail for a term of not more than six months, or both such fine
and confinement.

      (2) Any person convicted of violating any provision of this section within three years of
any such prior conviction shall be guilty of a class A misdemeanor and shall be subject to a
fine of not less than $800 nor more than $2,500.

      (h) In addition to any other penalties provided by this act for failure to have or maintain
financial security in effect, the director, upon receipt of a report required by K.S.A. 8-1607
or 8-1611, and amendments thereto, or a denial of such insurance by the insurance company
listed on the form prescribed by the secretary of revenue pursuant to subsection (d) of this
section, shall, upon notice and hearing as provided by K.S.A. 40-3118, and amendments
thereto:

      (1) Suspend:

      (A) The license of each driver in any manner involved in the accident;

      (B) the license of the owner of each motor vehicle involved in such accident, unless the
vehicle was stolen at the time of the accident, proof of which must be established by the
owner of the motor vehicle. Theft by a member of the vehicle owner's immediate family
under the age of 18 years shall not constitute a stolen vehicle for the purposes of this section;

      (C) if the driver is a nonresident, the privilege of operating a motor vehicle within this
state; or

      (D) if such owner is a nonresident, the privilege of such owner to operate or permit the
operation within this state of any motor vehicle owned by such owner; and

      (2) revoke the registration of all vehicles owned by the owner of each motor vehicle
involved in such accident.

      (i) The suspension or revocation requirements in subsection (h) shall not apply:

      (1) To the driver or owner if the owner had in effect at the time of the accident an
automobile liability policy as required by K.S.A. 40-3107, and amendments thereto, with
respect to the vehicle involved in the accident;

      (2) to the driver, if not the owner of the vehicle involved in the accident, if there was
in effect at the time of the accident an automobile liability policy with respect to such driver's
driving of vehicles not owned by such driver;

      (3) to any self-insurer as defined by subsection (u) of K.S.A. 40-3103, and amendments
thereto;

      (4) to the driver or owner of any vehicle involved in the accident which was exempt
from the provisions of this act pursuant to K.S.A. 40-3105, and amendments thereto;

      (5) to the owner of a vehicle described in subsection (a)(2).

      (j) For the purposes of provisions (1) and (2) of subsection (i) of this section, the director
may require verification by an owner's or driver's insurance company or agent thereof that
there was in effect at the time of the accident an automobile liability policy as required in
this act.

      Any suspension or revocation effected hereunder shall remain in effect until satisfactory
proof of financial security has been filed with the director as required by subsection (d) of
K.S.A. 40-3118, and amendments thereto, and such person has been released from liability
or is a party to an action to determine liability pursuant to which the court temporarily stays
such suspension pending final disposition of such action, has entered into an agreement for
the payment of damages, or has been finally adjudicated not to be liable in respect to such
accident and evidence of any such fact has been filed with the director and has paid the
reinstatement fee herein prescribed. Such reinstatement fee shall be $25 $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 $75 $300.

      (k) The provisions of this section shall not apply to motor carriers of property or
passengers regulated by the corporation commission of the state of Kansas.

      (l) The provisions of subsection (d) shall not apply to vehicle dealers, as defined in K.S.A.
8-2401, and amendments thereto, for vehicles being offered for sale by such dealers.

      Sec.  12. On and after January 1, 2000, K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 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 amendments thereto, in an approved driver training course by a school district
or an accredited nonpublic school under an agreement with a motor vehicle dealer, and
such policy of motor vehicle liability insurance is provided by the school district or accredited
nonpublic school. As used in this section, the term ``financial security'' means such policy
or self-insurance. 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 produce 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 evidence that no financial security exists with regard to the vehicle concerned. 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 cancellation 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 whatsoever 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 operation of any such motor vehicle without maintaining continuous financial
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 registration 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 insurance 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 director 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 evidence that no financial security exists with regard to the person concerned.

      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 sentence 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 prescribed 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 satisfaction
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 privileges 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
reinstatement fee in the amount herein prescribed is paid to the division of vehicles. Such
reinstatement fee shall be in the amount of $25 $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 $75 $300. The division of vehicles shall, at least monthly, deposit such
fees with the state treasurer, who shall credit such moneys to 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 reregistered 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 vehicle 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 registered 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
security 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 administration.

      (k) Whenever any person has made application for insurance coverage 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 insurance 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.  13. K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 40-2,103, as amended by section 5 of 1999 Senate Bill 108,
40-1909 and 40-19c09, as amended by section 6 of 1999 Senate Bill 108, are hereby
repealed.

K.S.A. 44-575 through 44-580, and amendments thereto, ``state agency'' means the state, or

CONFERENCE COMMITTEE REPORT
 Mr. President and Mr. Speaker: Your committee on conference on Senate
amendments to Substitute for HB 2469, submits the following report:

      The House accedes to all Senate amendments to the bill, and your committee on
conference further agrees to amend the bill, as printed with Senate Committee of the Whole
amendments, as follows:

      On page 3, by striking all on line 43;

      ``Section  1. K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 21-4705 is hereby amended to read as follows: 21-4705.
(a) For the purpose of sentencing, the following sentencing guidelines grid for drug crimes
shall be applied in felony cases under the uniform controlled substances act for crimes
committed on or after July 1, 1993:



      (b) The provisions of subsection (a) will apply for the purpose of sentencing violations
of the uniform controlled substances act except as otherwise provided by law. Sentences
expressed in the sentencing guidelines grid for drug crimes in subsection (a) represent
months of imprisonment.

      (c)  (1) The sentencing court has discretion to sentence at any place within the
sentencing range. The sentencing judge shall select the center of the range in the usual case
and reserve the upper and lower limits for aggravating and mitigating factors insufficient to
warrant a departure. The sentencing court shall not distinguish between the controlled
substances cocaine base (9041L000) and cocaine hydrochloride (9041L005) when
sentencing within the sentencing range of the grid block.

      (2) In presumptive imprisonment cases, the sentencing court shall pronounce the
complete sentence which shall include the prison sentence, the maximum potential
reduction to such sentence as a result of good time and the period of postrelease supervision
at the sentencing hearing. Failure to pronounce the period of postrelease supervision shall
not negate the existence of such period of postrelease supervision.

      (3) In presumptive nonprison cases, the sentencing court shall pronounce the prison
sentence as well as the duration of the nonprison sanction at the sentencing hearing.

      (d) Each grid block states the presumptive sentencing range for an offender whose
crime of conviction and criminal history place such offender in that grid block. If an offense
is classified in a grid block below the dispositional line, the presumptive disposition shall be
nonimprisonment. If an offense is classified in a grid block above the dispositional line, the
presumptive disposition shall be imprisonment. If an offense is classified in grid blocks 3-
E, 3-F, 3-G, 3-H, 3-I, 4-E or 4-F, the court may impose an optional nonprison sentence
upon making the following findings on the record:

      (1) An appropriate treatment program exists which is likely to be more effective than
the presumptive prison term in reducing the risk of offender recidivism; and

      (2) the recommended treatment program is available and the offender can be admitted
to such program within a reasonable period of time; or

      (3) the nonprison sanction will serve community safety interests by promoting offender
reformation.

      Any decision made by the court regarding the imposition of an optional nonprison
sentence if the offense is classified in grid blocks 3-E, 3-F, 3-G, 3-H, 3-I, 4-E or 4-F shall
not be considered a departure and shall not be subject to appeal.

      (e) The sentence for a second or subsequent conviction of K.S.A. 65-4159 and
amendments thereto, manufacture of any controlled substance or controlled substance analog
shall be a presumptive term of imprisonment of two times the maximum duration of the
presumptive term of imprisonment. The court may impose an optional reduction in such
sentence of not to exceed 50% of the mandatory increase provided by this subsection upon
making a finding on the record that one or more of the mitigating factors as specified in
K.S.A. 21-4716 and amendments thereto justify such a reduction in sentence. Any decision
made by the court regarding the reduction in such sentence shall not be considered a
departure and shall not be subject to appeal.'';

Except as authorized by the uniform controlled substances act, it shall be unlawful for any
person to manufacture any controlled substance or controlled substance analog.

      (b) Any person violating the provisions of this section with respect to the unlawful
manufacturing or attempting to unlawfully manufacture any controlled substance or
controlled substance analog, upon conviction, is guilty of:

      (1) A drug severity level 2 felony upon conviction for a first offense;

      (2) a drug severity level 1 felony upon conviction for a second offense or subsequent

not apply to a violation of attempting to unlawfully manufacture any controlled substance
pursuant to this section.

violating subsection (a), such person shall be guilty of a drug severity level 1 felony if such

classes are actually being held at the time of the offense or that children must be present
within the structure or on the property during the time of any alleged criminal act. If the
structure or property meets the description above, the actual use of that structure or
property at the time alleged shall not be a defense to the crime charged or the sentence
imposed.'';

EXPLANATION OF VOTE
 Mr. President: While I strongly agree that we need to punish drug law violators, this
bill fails to safeguard the freedoms and liberties of innocent folks caught in the crossfire of
the drug war. Therefore, I must vote ``No''. -- Tim Huelskamp

 Mr. President: I too recognize methamphetamine manufacturing is a terrible problem,
but HB 2469 has a potential fiscal impact of $29 million per year, which has not been
addressed. This bill goes much further than targeting ``meth'': a better approach could be
taken to address the problem other than the price-tag on this bill. I vote no.--Lana Oleen

 Senators Brownlee, Harrington, Lawrence and Salisbury request the record to show they
concur with the ``Explanation of Vote'' offered by Senator Oleen on HB 2469.

A  RESOLUTION honoring Craig Yorke, Sr.
        WHEREAS,  Craig Yorke, Sr. is retiring at the conclusion of the 1999 legislative session
from his position as a member of the Sergeant-at-Arms staff for the Kansas Senate, a position
he has held since 1993; and

      WHEREAS,  Craig Yorke's life is a saga worth telling: He was born December 24, 1912,
in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Abandoned by his mother at age 4, when discovered he
was found to be seriously ill. He spent the next seven years in a tuberculosis sanatorium
where kind soldiers who had been gassed in World War I treated him as their own and
taught him to read and write. In 1921 he was released and placed in a Catholic orphanage.
Before completing high school he had lived with his grandmother, father and four foster
families. During grammar school he won a city-wide house design contest and received a
large radio. After his first year in high school he had won all 12 of the city's prizes in drafting.
After graduating from high school he completed a year of college at Lincoln University in
Pennsylvania before being forced to leave in 1933 because of lack of money; and

      WHEREAS,  Craig Yorke was a phenomenal athlete. In grammar school, in his first at
bat in a playground baseball game, he hit the ball for a homer and through a classroom
window. He played quarterback in high school football, was a state champion runner but
excelled in baseball--particularly as a hitter. From age 14 and for 16 years he played semi-
professional baseball. He was a switch hitter and maintained a batting average over .300.
He played on several white as well as black teams earning from $.35 to $29 per game. In
Yankee Stadium, while playing for the Brooklyn Black Sox, he bunted safely against the
great Sachel Paige; and

      WHEREAS,  After working as a draftsman for some time, with much of it being electrical
drawings, he qualified as a Registered Electrical Engineer. In 1963 he started a new career
working for the federal government as an electrical engineer and, later, working as a
specifications writer and chief electrical design engineer, retiring in 1985. Subsequently he
worked for Holmes and Narver, Inc. in Albuquerque on a high priority project involving
the U.S. Navy and its activities at the North Pole; and

      WHEREAS,  Craig Yorke married Dorothy Britt Reed in 1941. She died in 1988. He has
one son, Craig Yorke, Jr., a neurosurgeon here in Topeka, a daughter-in-law, Mary Powell,
and two grandsons, Zachary and Christopher, both students at Topeka High School: Now,
therefore,

      Be it resolved by the Senate of the State of Kansas: That we marvel about the life
experiences of Craig Yorke, Sr. and will miss the cordial welcome he has given to visitors
in the Senate galleries; and

      Be it further resolved: That the Secretary of the Senate be directed to provide five
enrolled copies of this resolution to Craig Yorke, Sr.

 On emergency motion of Senator Oleen SR 1867 was adopted unanimously.

 Senators Clark, Oleen and Petty remembered Craig Yorke as a friend, an inspiration and
a joy to know.

 President Bond welcomed Mr. Yorke and family members: Craig, Jr., Mary Powell and
grandsons, Zachary and Christopher, and thanked him for his years of loyal service.

 The Senators rose in a standing ovation.

      Sec.  22. K.S.A. 1998 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
greyhound 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 application. 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 conducts 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 as-
sociation 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 con-
ducted by the licensee 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 performance 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 conducted 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 consecutive 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 commission may authorize a fair association to display additional
simulcast races but, if such fair association is less than 100 miles from an organization
licensee that is not a fair association, it must also shall secure written consent from that
organization licensee.

      (4) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (b)(1), if an emergency causes the
cancellation of all or any live races scheduled for a day or performance by a simulcasting
licensee, the commission or the commission'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 commission 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 simulcasting schedule
signed by: (A) The recognized horsemen's group for the track, if the applicant is licensed
to conduct only horse races; (B) the recognized greyhound owners' group, if the applicant
is licensed to conduct only greyhound races and only greyhound races are to be simulcast;
(C) both the recognized greyhound owners' group and a recognized horsemen's group, if
the applicant is licensed to conduct only greyhound races and horse races are to be simulcast;
(D) the recognized greyhound owners' group, if the applicant is licensed to conduct both
greyhound and horse races, only greyhound races are to be simulcast and races are to be
simulcast only while the applicant is conducting live greyhound races; (E) the recognized
horsemen's group for the track, if the applicant is licensed to conduct both greyhound and
horse races, only horse races are to be simulcast and races are to be simulcast only while
the applicant is conducting live horse races; or (F) both the recognized greyhound owners'
group and the recognized horsemen's group for the track, if the applicant is licensed to
conduct both greyhound races and horse races and horse races are to be simulcast while
the applicant is conducting live greyhound races or greyhound races are to be simulcast
while the applicant is conducting live horse races; and

      (3) submit, in accordance with rules and regulations of the commission and before the
simulcasting of a race, a written copy of each contract or agreement which the applicant
proposes to enter into with regard to such race, and any proposed modification of any such
contract or agreement.

      (e) The term of a simulcasting license shall be one year.

      (f) A simulcasting licensee may apply to the commission or its designee for changes in
the licensee's approved simulcasting schedule if such changes are approved by the respective
recognized greyhound owners' group or recognized horsemen's group needed throughout
the term of the license. Application shall be made upon forms furnished by the commission
and shall contain such information as the commission prescribes.

      (g) Except as provided by subsection (j), the takeout for simulcast horse and greyhound
races shall be the same as it is for the live horse and greyhound races conducted during the
current or next live race meeting at the racetrack facility where the simulcast races are
displayed. For simulcast races the tax imposed on amounts wagered shall be as provided by
K.S.A. 74-8823, and amendments thereto. Of the balance of the takeout remaining after
deduction of taxes, an amount equal to a percentage, to be determined by the commission,
of the gross sum wagered on simulcast races shall be used for purses, as follows:

      (1) For greyhound races conducted by the licensee, if the simulcast race is a greyhound
race and the licensee conducts only live greyhound races;

      (2) for horse races conducted by the licensee, if the simulcast race is a horse race and
the licensee conducts only live horse races;

      (3) for horse races and greyhound races, as determined by both the recognized horse-
men's group and the recognized greyhound owners' group, if the simulcast race is a grey-
hound race and the licensee does not conduct or is not currently conducting live greyhound
races; or

      (4) for horse races and greyhound races, as determined by both the recognized horse-
men's group and the recognized greyhound owners' group, if the simulcast is a horse race
and the licensee does not conduct or is not currently conducting live horse races. That
portion of simulcast purse money determined to be used for horse purses shall be appor-
tioned by the commission to the various horse race meetings held in any calendar year based
upon the number of live horse race dates comprising such horse race meetings in the
preceding calendar year.

      (h) Except as provided by subsection (j):

      (1) If a simulcasting licensee has a license to conduct live horse races and the licensee
displays a simulcast horse race: (A) All breakage proceeds 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 and the commission shall promptly remit any such proceeds received
to the state treasurer, who shall deposit the entire amount in the state treasury and credit
it to the Kansas horse breeding development fund created by K.S.A. 74-8829, and amend-
ments thereto; and (B) all unclaimed ticket proceeds shall be remitted by the licensee to
the commission on the 61st day after the end of the calendar year and the commission shall
promptly remit any such proceeds received to the state treasurer, who shall deposit the
entire amount in the state treasury and credit it to the Kansas horse breeding development
fund created by K.S.A. 74-8829, and amendments thereto.

      (2) If a simulcasting licensee has a license to conduct live greyhound races and the
licensee displays a simulcast greyhound race, breakage and unclaimed winning ticket pro-
ceeds shall be distributed in the manner provided by K.S.A. 74-8821 and 74-8822, and
amendments thereto, for breakage and unclaimed winning ticket proceeds from live grey-
hound races.

      (3) If a simulcasting licensee has a license to conduct live racing of only horses and the
licensee displays a simulcast greyhound race, unclaimed winning ticket proceeds shall be
distributed in the manner provided by K.S.A. 74-8822, and amendments thereto, for un-
claimed winning ticket proceeds from live greyhound races. Breakage for such races shall
be distributed for use to benefit greyhound racing as determined by the commission.

      (4) If a simulcasting licensee has a license to conduct live racing of only greyhounds and
the licensee displays a simulcast horse race: (A) All breakage proceeds 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 and the commission shall promptly remit any such
proceeds received to the state treasurer, who shall deposit the entire amount in the state
treasury and credit it to the Kansas horse breeding development fund created by K.S.A. 74-
8829, and amendments thereto; and (B) all unclaimed ticket proceeds shall be remitted by
the licensee to the commission on the 61st day after the end of the calendar year and the
commission shall promptly remit any such proceeds received to the state treasurer, who
shall deposit the entire amount in the state treasury and credit it to the Kansas horse breed-
ing development fund created by K.S.A. 74-8829, and amendments thereto.

      (i) The commission may approve a request by two or more simulcasting licensees to
combine wagering pools within the state of Kansas pursuant to rules and regulations adopted
by the commission.

      (j)  (1) The commission may authorize any simulcasting licensee to participate in an
interstate combined wagering pool with one or more other racing jurisdictions.

      (2) If a licensee participates in an interstate pool, the licensee may adopt the takeout
of the host jurisdiction or facility, except that the takeout shall not be more than 20% on
win, place and show bets and not more than 25% on all other bets. The amount and manner

EXPLANATION OF VOTE

 Mr. President: I vote ``no'' on the Kerr amendment to HB 2575, not because of the
subject matter but because it could keep this desperately needed legislation from becoming
law. If that happens, school districts, teachers and the taxpayers will spend thousands of
dollars and countless hours on lawyers and courts. A needless waste and distraction from
our children.--Tim Emert

property shall be deemed to be actually and regularly used exclusively for religious purposes
for the purposes of this paragraph, this exemption shall not apply to such property, not
actually used or occupied for the purposes set forth herein, nor to such property held or
used as an investment even though the income or rentals received therefrom is used wholly
for such literary, educational, scientific, religious, benevolent or charitable purposes. In the
event any such property which has been exempted pursuant to the preceding sentence is
not used for religious purposes prior to its conveyance which results in its use for nonreli-
gious purposes, there shall be a recoupment of property taxes in an amount equal to the tax
which would have been levied upon such property except for such exemption for all taxable
years for which such exemption was in effect. Such recoupment tax shall become due and
payable in such year as provided by K.S.A. 79-2004, and amendments thereto. A lien for
such taxes shall attach to the real property subject to the same on November 1 in the year
such taxes become due and all such taxes remaining due and unpaid after the date prescribed

year for each such taxing subdivision bear to the total of all such levies made in that year
by all such taxing subdivisions. Such moneys shall be credited to the general fund of the
taxing subdivision or if such taxing subdivision is making no property tax levy for the support
of a general fund such moneys may be credited to any other tangible property tax fund of
general application of such subdivision. This exemption shall not be deemed inapplicable
to property which would otherwise be exempt pursuant to this paragraph because an agency
or organization: (a) Is reimbursed for the provision of services accomplishing the purposes
enumerated in this paragraph based upon the ability to pay by the recipient of such services;
or (b) is reimbursed for the actual expense of using such property for purposes enumerated
in this paragraph; or (c) uses such property for a nonexempt purpose which is minimal in
scope and insubstantial in nature if such use is incidental to the exempt purposes of this

      (d) The state treasurer may select more than one financial organization and investment

state treasurer the results of any periodic examination of such manager by any state or federal
banking, insurance or securities commission, except to the extent that such report or reports
may not be disclosed under law; and

      (9) ensure that any description of the program, whether in writing or through the use
of any media, is consistent with the marketing plan developed pursuant to the provisions of
sections 11 to 19, and amendments thereto.

similar to the original instruments as possible.

provisions of this section.

      (b) A family postsecondary education savings account may be opened by any person or

      (c) Only the account owner or owners may make contributions to the account after the

      (e) An account owner may withdraw all or part of the balance from an account on sixty-
days notice or such shorter period as may be authorized under rules and regulations gov-
erning the program. Such rules and regulations shall include provisions that will generally
enable the determination as to whether a withdrawal is a nonqualified withdrawal or a
qualified withdrawal. Such rules and regulations may require one or more of the following:

      (1) An account owner seeking to make a qualified withdrawal must provide certification
of qualified higher education expenses in a form and manner and pursuant to the method
consistent with the requirements of sections 11 to 19, and amendments thereto; and

      (2) withdrawals not meeting the requirements of sections 11 to 19, and amendments
thereto shall be treated as nonqualified withdrawals by the program manager and if such
withdrawals are subsequently deemed qualified withdrawals, the account owner must seek
any refund of penalties directly from the program.

      (f)  (1) An account owner may change the designated beneficiary of an account to an
individual who is a member of the family of the prior designated beneficiary in accordance
with procedures established pursuant to the provisions of sections 11 to 19, and amendments
thereto.

      (2) An account owner may transfer all or a portion of an account to another family
postsecondary education savings account, the designated beneficiary of which is a member
of the family as defined in section 529 of the federal internal revenue code of 1986, as
amended.

      (3) Changes in designated beneficiaries and transfers under this subsection shall not be
permitted to the extent that they would constitute excess contributions or unauthorized
investment choices.

      (g) In the case of any nonqualified withdrawal from an account an amount equal to 15%
of the portion of the withdrawal constituting income as determined in accordance with the
principles of section 529 of the federal internal revenue code of 1986, as amended, plus an
amount equal to the amount of interest earned on such portion shall be withheld as a penalty
and paid to the Kansas postsecondary education savings program.

      (h) The penalty prescribed in subsection (g) may be increased if the state treasurer
determines that the amount of such penalty must be increased to constitute a greater than
de minimis penalty for purposes of qualifying the program as a qualified state tuition pro-
gram as defined in section 529 of the federal internal revenue code of 1986, as amended.

      (i) If an account owner makes a nonqualified withdrawal and no penalty amount is
withheld pursuant to subsection (g) or the amount withheld was less than the amount re-
quired to be withheld under such subsection for nonqualified withdrawals, the account
owner shall pay the unpaid portion of the penalty to the program at the same time that the
account owner files the earlier of the account owner's state or federal income tax return for
the taxable year of the withdrawal or if such account owner does not file such return, the
due date for such returns but in any event on or before the due date for such return taking
into account any authorized extensions.

      (k) No account owner or designated beneficiary of any account shall be permitted to
direct the investment of any contributions to an account or the earnings thereon.

      (l) Neither an account owner nor a designated beneficiary may use an interest in an
account as security for a loan. Any pledge of an interest in an account shall be of no force
and effect.

      (m)  (1) The state treasurer shall adopt rules and regulations to prevent contributions on
behalf of a designated beneficiary in excess of an amount equal to the average amount of
the qualified higher education expenses that would be incurred for five years of study at
institutions of postsecondary education located in the midwest states. Such amount shall be
determined annually by the state treasurer.

      (2) Such rules and regulations shall include requirements that any excess balance with
respect to a designated beneficiary be promptly withdrawn in a nonqualified withdrawal or
transferred to another account.

      (n)  (1) If there is any distribution from an account to any individual or for the benefit
of any individual during a calendar year, such distribution shall be reported to the federal
internal revenue service and the account owner or owners, the designated beneficiary, or
the distributee to the extent required by federal law or regulation.

      (2) Statements shall be provided to each account owner at least once each year within
60 days after the end of the twelve-month period to which they relate. The statement shall
identify the contributions made during a preceding twelve-month period, the total contri-
butions made to the account through the end of the period, the value of the account at the
end of such period, distributions made during such period and any other information that
the state treasurer shall require to be reported to the account owner.

      (3) Statements and information relating to accounts shall be prepared and filed to the
extent required by federal and state tax law.

      (o)  (1) A local government or organization described in section 501(c) (3) of the federal
internal revenue code of 1986, as amended, may open and become the account owner of
an account to fund scholarships for persons whose identity will be determined upon
disbursement.

      (2) In the case of any account opened pursuant to provision (1) of this subsection, the
requirement set forth in subsection (b) that a designated beneficiary be designated when
an account is opened shall not apply and each individual who receives an interest in such
account as a scholarship shall be treated as a designated beneficiary with respect to such
interest.

      (p) An annual fee may be imposed upon the account owner or owners for the mainte-
nance of the account.

      (q) An account must be opened before the designated beneficiary attains 25 years of
age and at least two calendar years before a qualified withdrawal can be made. Qualified
withdrawals must be completed by the time the designated beneficiary attains 30 years of
age or within 10 years after the initial qualified withdrawal is made, whichever occurs first.
The state treasurer may adopt rules and regulations providing for exceptions to the foregoing
requirements for such extenuating circumstances as the state treasurer deems necessary and
appropriate.

      (r) An account owner or designated beneficiary of a Kansas postsecondary education
savings account may be a resident of any state but must be a resident of the United States
of America.

from accounts; and

      (7) all other rights and obligations pursuant to savings agreements, and any other terms,
conditions and provisions deemed necessary and appropriate by the state treasurer.

      (t) Nothing in sections 10 to 19, and amendments thereto, or in any savings agreement
entered into pursuant to sections 11 to 19, and amendments thereto, shall be construed as
a guarantee by the state of Kansas or any institution of postsecondary education that a
beneficiary will be admitted to the institution of postsecondary education or, upon admission
to any institution of postsecondary education, will be permitted to continue to attend or will
receive a degree from such institution of postsecondary education.

      New Sec.  18. (a) Nothing in sections 11 to 19, and amendments thereto, shall be con-
strued to:

      (1) Give any designated beneficiary any rights or legal interest with respect to an account
unless the designated beneficiary is the account owner;

the qualified higher education expenses of a designated beneficiary.

tality of the state to guarantee for the benefit of any account owner or designated beneficiary
with respect to:

      (A) The rate of interest or other return on any account; and

      (B) the payment of interest or other return on any account.

      (2) The state treasurer by rules and regulations shall provide that every contract, appli-

tribution to an account clearly indicate that the account is not insured by the state and
neither the principal deposited nor the investment return is guaranteed by the state.

      New Sec.  19. (a) The Kansas postsecondary education savings program trust fund is
hereby established in the state treasury. Such savings trust fund shall consist of moneys
deposited by depositors in accordance with this act, moneys acquired from governmental
and private sources and state general fund appropriations, if any. All interest derived from
the deposit and investment of moneys in such savings trust fund shall be credited to the

      Sec.  20. K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 79-32,117 is hereby amended to read as follows: 79-32,117.
(a) The Kansas adjusted gross income of an individual means such individual's federal ad-
justed gross income for the taxable year, with the modifications specified in this section.

      (b) There shall be added to federal adjusted gross income:

      (i) Interest income less any related expenses directly incurred in the purchase of state
or political subdivision obligations, to the extent that the same is not included in federal
adjusted gross income, on obligations of any state or political subdivision thereof, but to the
extent that interest income on obligations of this state or a political subdivision thereof issued
prior to January 1, 1988, is specifically exempt from income tax under the laws of this state
authorizing the issuance of such obligations, it shall be excluded from computation of Kansas
adjusted gross income whether or not included in federal adjusted gross income. Interest
income on obligations of this state or a political subdivision thereof issued after December
31, 1987, shall be excluded from computation of Kansas adjusted gross income whether or
not included in federal adjusted gross income.

      (ii) Taxes on or measured by income or fees or payments in lieu of income taxes imposed
by this state or any other taxing jurisdiction to the extent deductible in determining federal
adjusted gross income and not credited against federal income tax. This paragraph shall not
apply to taxes imposed under the provisions of K.S.A. 79-1107 or 79-1108, and amendments
thereto, for privilege tax year 1995, and all such years thereafter.

      (iii) The federal net operating loss deduction.

      (iv) Federal income tax refunds received by the taxpayer if the deduction of the taxes
being refunded resulted in a tax benefit for Kansas income tax purposes during a prior
taxable year. Such refunds shall be included in income in the year actually received regard-
less of the method of accounting used by the taxpayer. For purposes hereof, a tax benefit
shall be deemed to have resulted if the amount of the tax had been deducted in determining
income subject to a Kansas income tax for a prior year regardless of the rate of taxation
applied in such prior year to the Kansas taxable income, but only that portion of the refund
shall be included as bears the same proportion to the total refund received as the federal
taxes deducted in the year to which such refund is attributable bears to the total federal
income taxes paid for such year. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, federal taxes shall
be considered to have been deducted only to the extent such deduction does not reduce
Kansas taxable income below zero.

      (v) The amount of any depreciation deduction or business expense deduction claimed
on the taxpayer's federal income tax return for any capital expenditure in making any build-
ing or facility accessible to the handicapped, for which expenditure the taxpayer claimed
the credit allowed by K.S.A. 79-32,177, and amendments thereto.

      (vi) Any amount of designated employee contributions picked up by an employer pur-
suant to K.S.A. 12-5005, 20-2603, 74-4919 and 74-4965, and amendments to such sections.

      (vii) The amount of any charitable contribution made to the extent the same is claimed
as the basis for the credit allowed pursuant to K.S.A. 79-32,196, and amendments thereto.

      (viii) The amount of any costs incurred for improvements to a swine facility, claimed
for deduction in determining federal adjusted gross income, to the extent the same is claimed
as the basis for any credit allowed pursuant to K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 79-32,204 and amendments
thereto.

      (ix) The amount of any ad valorem taxes and assessments paid and the amount of any
costs incurred for habitat management or construction and maintenance of improvements
on real property, claimed for deduction in determining federal adjusted gross income, to
the extent the same is claimed as the basis for any credit allowed pursuant to K.S.A. 79-
32,203 and amendments thereto.

      (c) There shall be subtracted from federal adjusted gross income:

      (i) Interest or dividend income on obligations or securities of any authority, commission
or instrumentality of the United States and its possessions less any related expenses directly
incurred in the purchase of such obligations or securities, to the extent included in federal
adjusted gross income but exempt from state income taxes under the laws of the United
States.

      (ii) Any amounts received which are included in federal adjusted gross income but which
are specifically exempt from Kansas income taxation under the laws of the state of Kansas.

      (iii) The portion of any gain or loss from the sale or other disposition of property having
a higher adjusted basis for Kansas income tax purposes than for federal income tax purposes
on the date such property was sold or disposed of in a transaction in which gain or loss was
recognized for purposes of federal income tax that does not exceed such difference in basis,
but if a gain is considered a long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes, the
modification shall be limited to that portion of such gain which is included in federal adjusted
gross income.

      (iv) The amount necessary to prevent the taxation under this act of any annuity or other
amount of income or gain which was properly included in income or gain and was taxed
under the laws of this state for a taxable year prior to the effective date of this act, as
amended, to the taxpayer, or to a decedent by reason of whose death the taxpayer acquired
the right to receive the income or gain, or to a trust or estate from which the taxpayer
received the income or gain.

      (v) The amount of any refund or credit for overpayment of taxes on or measured by
income or fees or payments in lieu of income taxes imposed by this state, or any taxing
jurisdiction, to the extent included in gross income for federal income tax purposes.

      (vi) Accumulation distributions received by a taxpayer as a beneficiary of a trust to the
extent that the same are included in federal adjusted gross income.

      (vii) Amounts received as annuities under the federal civil service retirement system
from the civil service retirement and disability fund and other amounts received as retire-
ment benefits in whatever form which were earned for being employed by the federal

the provisions of 45 U.S.C. 228b (a) and 228c (a)(1) et seq.

      (ix) Amounts received by retired employees of a city and by retired employees of any
board of such city as retirement allowances pursuant to K.S.A. 13-14,106, and amendments

each city and township in the district pertaining to such noxious weed infestation in their
respective jurisdiction. On the basis of such information the tax levying body of each county,
township or incorporated city shall make a tax levy each year for the purpose of paying their
part of the cost of control and eradication thereof as provided in this act 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. Each

located in the county, shall be set apart as a noxious weed eradication fund and warrants
duly verified by the county or city supervisor if such be employed or if no supervisor be
employed, then by county, township or city clerk, as the case may be, may be drawn against
this fund for all items of expense incident to control of noxious weeds in such district
respectively. Any moneys remaining in the noxious weed eradication fund at the end of any

cost of work done, or hired to be done, by the board of county commissioners and 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. To pay persons employed by them
to do such work ordered to be done on any property the county shall issue its warrants upon
the ``soil-drifting fund,'' and such warrants shall be paid from that fund. This shall be re-
garded as a special purpose for incurring obligations and issuing and paying warrants and is
not controlled by any general statute relating thereto.

commission supervising such lands or highways from funds appropriated to its use; on county
lands and county roads, on township lands and township roads, on city lands, streets and
alleys by the county, township or city in which such lands, roads, streets and alleys are
located, and from funds made available for that purpose; on drainage districts, irrigation
districts, cemetery associations and other political subdivisions of the state, the costs shall
be paid from their respective funds made available for the purpose. If the governing body
of any political subdivision owning or supervising lands infested with noxious weeds within
their jurisdiction fails to control such noxious weeds after 15 days' notice directing any such
body to do so, the board of county commissioners shall proceed to have proper control and
eradication methods used upon such lands, and shall notify the governing body of the po-
litical subdivision by certified mail of the costs of such operations, with a demand for pay-
ment. The governing body of the political subdivision shall pay such costs from its noxious
weed fund, or if no such fund is available, from its general fund or from any other funds
available for such purpose. Copy of the statement, together with proof of notification, shall
at the same time be filed with the county clerk, and if the amount is not paid within 30
days, such clerk shall spread the amount upon the tax roll of the subdivision, and such
amount shall become a lien against the entire territory located within the particular political
subdivision, and shall be collected as other taxes are collected.

      (b) All moneys collected pursuant to this section shall be paid into the county noxious
weed eradication fund. Tax levies made pursuant to this section shall be in addition to all
other levies authorized by law, and shall be in addition to any aggregate tax levy limits
prescribed by law.

      (c) As used in this section, ``governing body'' means the board, body, or persons in which
the powers of a political subdivision as a body corporate are vested; and ``political subdivi-
sion'' means any agency or unit of the state authorized to levy taxes or empowered to cause
taxes to be levied.

      (d) On all other lands the owner thereof shall pay the cost of control and eradication of
noxious weeds. Except as provided in K.S.A. 2-1333 and amendments thereto, chemical
materials for use on privately owned lands may be purchased from the board of county
commissioners at a price fixed by the board of county commissioners which shall be in an
amount equal to not less than 50% nor more than 75% of the total cost incurred by the
county in purchasing, storing and handling such chemical materials. However, once the tax
levying body of a county, city or township has authorized the maximum a tax levy prescribed
by K.S.A. 2-1318, and amendments thereto of 1.5 mills or more, the board of county com-
missioners may collect from the owner of privately owned lands an amount equal to 75%
but not more than 100% of the total cost incurred by the county in purchasing, storing and
handling of chemical materials used in the control and eradication of noxious weeds on such
privately owned lands. Whenever official methods of eradication, adopted by the state board
of agriculture, are not followed in applying the chemical materials so purchased, the board
of county commissioners may collect the remaining portion of the total cost thereof.

      Sec.  30. K.S.A. 2-1322 is hereby amended to read as follows: 2-1322. (a) The board of
county commissioners, or the governing body of incorporated cities, cooperating with the
secretary of the state board of agriculture, shall purchase or provide for needed and nec-

may use any equipment or materials purchased as provided for in this section, upon the
highways, streets and alleys, for the treatment and eradication of weeds which have not
been declared noxious by legislative action.

      (b) Except as provided in K.S.A. 2-1333 and amendments thereto, the board of county
commissioners shall sell chemical material to the landowners in their jurisdiction at a price
fixed by the board of county commissioners which shall be in an amount equal to not less
than 50% nor more than 75% of the total cost incurred by the county in purchasing, storing
and handling such chemical materials used in the control and eradication of noxious weeds,
and may make such charge for the use of machines or other equipment and operators as
may be deemed by them sufficient to cover the actual cost of operation. However, once the
tax levying body of a county, city or township has authorized the maximum a tax levy pre-
scribed by K.S.A. 2-1318, and amendments thereto of 1.5 mills or more, the board of county
commissioners may collect from the landowners in their jurisdiction an amount equal to
75% but not more than 100% of the total cost incurred by the county in purchasing, storing
and handling of chemical materials used in the control and eradication of noxious weeds.

      (c) Whenever official methods of eradication adopted by the state board of agriculture
are not used in applying the chemical material purchased, the board of county commission-
ers may collect the remaining portion of the total cost thereof from the landowner.

      (d) The board of county commissioners, township boards, and the governing body of
cities shall keep a record showing purchases of material and equipment for control and
eradication of noxious weeds. The board of county commissioners and the governing body
of cities shall also keep a complete itemized record showing sales for cash or charge sales
of material and shall maintain a record of charges and receipts for use of equipment owned

to any adjoining city or township, with which such sewage district may have contracted for
the disposal of sewage, of the contract price therefor, and for all other expense incident to
the operation and maintenance of such sewage system.

      Whenever a sewage district has made tax levies as authorized by this act and has accu-
mulated a fund for the operation and maintenance of the sewage system and has contracted

fire department fund or to the general fund of the township in which the sewage district
was established. All levies of taxes authorized in this act shall be in addition to all other
levies authorized or limited by law, and the provisions of K.S.A. 79-1962, and any other

equipment to be used in the disposal of garbage, rubbish and trash, the township board of
such township is authorized to issue general obligation bonds of the township in the manner
provided by the general bond law. Whenever such a site has been acquired, the township
board may pay the cost of the operation and maintenance of the same from the general
fund of the township or it may levy a special tax therefor at a rate not to exceed the limitation
prescribed by K.S.A. 79-1962, on all taxable tangible property of the township. Any two (2)
or more of such townships may join in the acquisition of a site or sites for the disposal of

the passage of this legislation all governing bodies have to pass a resolution if they intend
to increase property taxes except one. I believe the legislature should lead by example and
by exempting ourselves we fail our leadership responsibility.--Stan Clark

 Mr. President: What is so special about this legislature that we set rules for others that
we are not willing to live under ourselves? We seek to require truth in taxation for all local
governments, but we exclude ourselves from that requirement in this bill. Isn't that the very
definition of tyranny?

 While I strongly support the tax relief in this bill, I can not support a mandate on local
governments we are not requiring of this legislature.--Tim Huelskamp

 Mr. President: I vote yes on SB 45, but I raise a serious issue regarding the section
dealing with property taxes and local government control. I agree with the intent of this
section of the legislation. It is very important that the public has the right to know whenever
local government wants to reap a windfall due to higher valuations. However, with the sunset
of the property tax lid, there is no longer a limit or control on local spending. Several
proposals have been made which would give the public the right to vote on increases, and
I am very concerned that this legislation gives no such provision for a public vote. At the
least, there should have been a provision allowing protest petitions, providing a fair, simple
outlet to call into doubt the decision of a local government when it chooses to benefit from
higher property valuations.--Marge Petty

 Senators Feleciano, Hensley and Stephens request the record to show they concur with
the ``Explanation of Vote'' offered by Senator Petty on SB 45.

CONFERENCE COMMITTEE REPORT
 Mr. President and Mr. Speaker: Your committee on conference on Senate amend-
ments to HB 2092, submits the following report:

      The House accedes to all Senate amendments to the bill, and your committee on con-
ference further agrees to amend the bill, as printed with Senate Committee of the Whole
amendments, as follows:

      On page 1, by striking all in lines 22 through 43;

      By striking all on pages 2 through 5;

      On page 6, preceding line 1, by inserting new material to read as follows:

      ``New Section  1. (a) The Kansas youth authority established by K.S.A. 75-7008 prior to
amendment by this act hereby is abolished.

      (b) All of the powers, duties and functions of the Kansas youth authority are hereby
transferred to and conferred and imposed upon the Kansas advisory group on juvenile justice
and delinquency prevention.

      (c) The Kansas advisory group on juvenile justice and delinquency prevention shall be
the successor in every way to the powers, duties and functions of the Kansas youth authority
in which the same were vested prior to the effective date of this act. Every act performed
in the exercise of such powers, duties and functions by or under the authority of the Kansas
advisory group on juvenile justice and delinquency prevention shall be deemed to have the
same force and effect as if performed by the Kansas youth authority in which such powers,
duties and functions were vested prior to the effective date of this act.

      (d) Whenever the Kansas youth authority is referred to or designated by a statute,
contract or other document, such reference or designation shall be deemed to apply to the
Kansas advisory group on juvenile justice and delinquency prevention.

      (e) All of the records, memoranda, writings and property of the Kansas youth authority
shall be and hereby are transferred to the Kansas advisory group on juvenile justice and
delinquency prevention and such advisory group shall have legal custody of the same.

      New Sec.  2. (a) (1) Whenever a person is adjudicated as a juvenile offender, the court
upon motion of the state, shall hold a hearing to consider imposition of a departure sentence.
The motion shall state that a departure is sought and the reasons and factors relied upon.
The hearing shall be scheduled so that the parties have adequate time to prepare and present
arguments regarding the issues of departure sentencing. The victim of a crime or the victim's
family shall be notified of the right to be present at the hearing for the convicted person by
the county or district attorney. The parties may submit written arguments to the court prior
to the date of the hearing and may make oral arguments before the court at the hearing.
The court shall review the victim impact statement, if available. Prior to the hearing, the
court shall transmit to the defendant or the defendant's attorney and the prosecuting attor-
ney copies of the predispositional investigation report.

      (2) At the conclusion of the hearing or within 20 days thereafter, the court shall issue
findings of fact and conclusions of law regarding the issues submitted by the parties, and
shall enter an appropriate order.

      (3) If a factual aspect of a crime is a statutory element of the crime or is used to
determine crime severity, that aspect of the current crime of conviction may be used as an
aggravating factor only if the criminal conduct constituting that aspect of the current crime
of conviction is significantly different from the usual criminal conduct captured by the aspect
of the crime. Subject to this provision, the nonexclusive lists of aggravating factors provided
in subsection (b)(2) of K.S.A. 21-4716, and amendments thereto, and in subsection (a) of
K.S.A. 21-4717, and amendments thereto, may be considered in determining whether sub-
stantial and compelling reasons exist.

      (b) If the court decides to depart on its own volition, without a motion from the state,
the court must notify all parties of its intent and allow reasonable time for either party to
respond if they request. The notice shall state that a departure is intended by the court and
the reasons and factors relied upon.

      (c) In each case in which the court imposes a sentence that deviates from the pre-
sumptive sentence, the court shall make findings of fact as to the reasons for departure
regardless of whether a hearing is requested.

      (d) If the sentencing judge departs from the presumptive sentence, the judge shall state
on the record at the time of sentencing the substantial and compelling reasons for the
departure. When a departure sentence is appropriate, the sentencing judge may depart from
the matrix as provided in this section. When a sentencing judge departs in setting the
duration of a presumptive term of imprisonment:

      (1) The presumptive term of imprisonment set in such departure shall not total more
than double the maximum duration of the presumptive imprisonment term;

      (2) the court shall have no authority to reduce the minimum term of confinement as
defined within the sentencing matrix; and

      (3) the maximum term for commitment of any juvenile offender to a juvenile correc-
tional facility is age 22 years, 6 months.

      (e) A departure sentence may be appealed as provided in K.S.A. 38-1681, and amend-
ments thereto.

      New Sec.  3. (a) A permanent guardian may be appointed after a finding of unfitness
pursuant to K.S.A. 38-1583 and amendments thereto or with the consent and agreement of
the parents.

      (b) Upon appointment of the permanent guardian, the child in need of care proceeding
shall be dismissed.

To the extent possible, when any law enforcement officer takes into custody a child under
the age of 18 years, without a court order, the child shall forthwith be delivered to the
custody of the child's parent or other custodian unless there are reasonable grounds to
believe that such action would not be in the best interests of the child. Except as provided
in subsection (b), if the child is not delivered to the custody of the child's parent or other
custodian, the child shall forthwith be delivered to a facility or person designated by the
secretary or to a court designated shelter facility, court services officer, juvenile intake and
assessment worker, licensed attendant care center or other person. If, after delivery of the
child to a shelter facility, the person in charge of the shelter facility at that time and the law
enforcement officer determine that the child will not remain in the shelter facility, the law
enforcement officer shall deliver the child to a juvenile detention facility or other secure
facility, designated by the court, where the child shall be detained for not more than 24
hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays. It shall be the duty of the law
enforcement officer to furnish to the county or district attorney, without unnecessary delay,
all the information in the possession of the officer pertaining to the child, the child's parents
or other persons interested in or likely to be interested in the child and all other facts and
circumstances which caused the child to be taken into custody.

ment officer without a court order and is thereafter placed in the custody of a shelter facility,
court services officer, juvenile intake and assessment worker, licensed attendant care center
or other person as authorized by this code, the facility or person shall have physical custody
and provide care and supervision for the child upon written application of the law enforce-
ment officer. The application shall state:

      (1) The name and address of the child, if known;

      (2) the names and addresses of the child's parents or nearest relatives and persons with
whom the child has been residing, if known; and

      (3) the officer's belief that the child is a child in need of care and that there are rea-
sonable grounds to believe that the circumstances or condition of the child is such that,
unless the child is placed in the immediate custody of the shelter facility or other person,
it would be harmful to the child.

      (d) A copy of the application shall be furnished by the facility or person receiving the
child to the county or district attorney without unnecessary delay.

      (e) The shelter facility or other person designated by the court who has custody of the

placing law enforcement agency shall have the authority to direct at any time the release of
the child.

      (g) When any law enforcement officer takes into custody any child as provided in sub-
section (d) of K.S.A. 38-1527, and amendments thereto, the child shall forthwith be deliv-
ered to the school in which the child is enrolled, any location designated by the school in
which the child is enrolled to address truancy issues or the child's parent or other custodian.

      Sec.  6. K.S.A. 38-1542 is hereby amended to read as follows: 38-1542. (a) The court
upon verified application may issue ex parte an order directing that a child be held in
protective custody and, if the child has not been taken into custody, an order directing that
the child be taken into custody. The application shall state:

      (1) The applicant's belief that the child is a child in need of care and is likely to sustain
harm if not immediately afforded protective custody; and

      (2) the specific facts which are relied upon to support the belief.

      (b)  (1) The order of protective custody may be issued only after the court has deter-
mined there is probable cause to believe the allegations in the application are true. The
order shall remain in effect until the temporary custody hearing provided for in K.S.A. 38-
1543 and amendments thereto, unless earlier rescinded by the court.

      (2) Prior to July 1, 1993, No child shall be held in protective custody for more than 72
hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, unless within the 72-hour period a
determination is made as to the necessity for temporary custody in a temporary custody
hearing. Nothing in this subsection (b)(2) shall be construed to mean that the child must
remain in protective custody for 72 hours.

      (3) On and after July 1, 1993, no child shall be held in protective custody for more than
48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, unless within the 48-hour period
a determination is made as to the necessity for temporary custody in a temporary custody
hearing. Nothing in this subsection (b)(3) shall be construed to mean that the child must
remain in protective custody for 48 hours.

      (c) Whenever the court determines the necessity for an order of protective custody, the
court may place the child in the protective custody of: (1) A parent or other person having
custody of the child and may enter a restraining order pursuant to subsection (d); (2) a
person, other than the parent or other person having custody, who shall not be required to
be licensed under article 5 of chapter 65 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated; (3) a youth
residential facility; or (4) the secretary. When the child is placed in the protective custody
of the secretary, the secretary shall have the discretionary authority to place the child with
a parent or to make other suitable placement for the child. When circumstances require, a
child in protective custody may be placed in a juvenile detention facility or other secure
facility pursuant to an order of protective custody for not to exceed 24 hours, excluding
Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays.

      (d) The order of protective custody shall be served on the child's parents and any other
person having legal custody of the child. The order shall prohibit all parties from removing
the child from the court's jurisdiction without the court's permission.

      (e) If the court issues an order of protective custody, the court may also enter an order
restraining any alleged perpetrator of physical, sexual, mental or emotional abuse of the
child from residing in the child's home; visiting, contacting, harassing or intimidating the
child; or attempting to visit, contact, harass or intimidate the child. Such restraining order
shall be served on any alleged perpetrator to whom the order is directed.

      (f) The court shall not enter an order removing a child from the custody of a parent
pursuant to this section unless the court first finds from evidence presented by the petitioner
that reasonable efforts have been made to prevent or eliminate the need for removal of the
child or that an emergency exists which threatens the safety of the child and requires the
immediate removal of the child. Such findings shall be included in any order entered by
the court.

      Sec.  7. K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 38-1543 is hereby amended to read as follows: 38-1543. (a)
Upon notice and hearing, the court may issue an order directing who shall have temporary
custody and may modify the order during the pendency of the proceedings as will best serve
the child's welfare.

      (b) A hearing hereunder pursuant to this section shall be held within 48 72 hours,
excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, following a child having been taken into
protective custody.

      (c) Whenever it is determined that a temporary custody hearing is required, the court

immediate removal of the child. Such findings shall be included in any order entered by
the court.

      (b) Before entering an order placing the child in the custody of a person other than the
child's parent, the court shall require notice of the time and place of the hearing to be given
to all the child's grandparents at their last known addresses or, if no grandparent is living
or if no living grandparent's address is known, to the closest relative of each of the child's
parents whose address is known, and to the foster parent, preadoptive parent or relative
providing care. Such notice shall be given by restricted mail not less than 10 business days
before the hearing and shall state that the person receiving the notice shall have an oppor-
tunity to be heard at the hearing. The provisions of this subsection shall not require addi-
tional notice to any person otherwise receiving notice of the hearing pursuant to K.S.A. 38-
1536 and amendments thereto. Individuals receiving notice pursuant to this subsection shall
not be made a party to the action solely on the basis of this notice and opportunity to be
heard.

      (c) Prior to entering an order of disposition, the court shall give consideration to the
child's physical, mental and emotional condition; the child's need for assistance; the manner
in which the parent participated in the abuse, neglect or abandonment of the child; any
relevant information from the intake and assessment process; and the evidence received at
the dispositional hearing. In determining when reunification is a viable alternative, the court
shall specifically consider whether the parent has been found by a court to have: (1) Com-
mitted murder in the first degree, K.S.A. 21-3401 and amendments thereto, murder in the
second degree, K.S.A. 21-3402 and amendments thereto, capital murder, K.S.A. 21-3439
and amendments thereto, voluntary manslaughter, K.S.A. 21-3403 and amendments thereto
or violated a law of another state which prohibits such murder or manslaughter of a child;
(2) aided or abetted, attempted, conspired or solicited to commit such murder or voluntary
manslaughter of a child as provided in subsection (c)(1); (3) committed a felony battery that
resulted in bodily injury to the child or another child; (4) subjected the child or another
child to aggravated circumstances as defined in subsection (x) of K.S.A. 38-1502 and amend-
ments thereto; (5) parental rights of the parent to another child have been terminated
involuntarily; or (6) the child has been in extended out of home placement as defined in
subsection (z) of K.S.A. 38-1502 and amendments thereto. If reintegration is not a viable
alternative, the court shall consider whether a compelling reason has been documented in
the case plan to find neither adoption nor permanent guardianship are in the best interests
of the child, the child is in a stable placement with a relative, or services set out in the case
plan necessary for the safe return of the child have been made available to the parent with
whom reintegration is planned. If reintegration is not a viable alternative and either adoption
or permanent guardianship might be in the best interests of the child, the county or district
attorney or the county or district attorney's designee shall file a motion to terminate parental
rights or permanent guardianship within 30 days and the court shall set a hearing on such
motion within 90 days of the filing of such motion. No such hearing is required when the
parents voluntarily relinquish parental rights or agree to appointment of a permanent
guardian.

      Sec.  9. K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 38-1565 is hereby amended to read as follows: 38-1565. (a)
If a child is placed outside the child's home and no plan is made a part of the record of the
dispositional hearing, a written plan shall be prepared which provides for reintegration of
the child into the child's family or, if reintegration is not a viable alternative, for other
placement of the child. Reintegration may not be a viable alternative when the: (1) Parent
has been found by a court to have committed murder in the first degree, K.S.A. 21-3401
and amendments thereto, murder in the second degree, K.S.A. 21-3402 and amendments
thereto, capital murder, K.S.A. 21-3439 and amendments thereto, voluntary manslaughter,
K.S.A. 21-3403 and amendments thereto or violated a law of another state which prohibits
such murder or manslaughter of a child; (2) parent aided or abetted, attempted, conspired
or solicited to commit such murder or voluntary manslaughter of a child as provided in
subsection (a)(1); (3) parent committed a felony battery that resulted in bodily injury to the
child or another child; (4) parent has subjected the child or another child to aggravated
circumstances as defined in subsection (x) of K.S.A. 38-1502, and amendments thereto; (5)
parental rights of the parent to another child have been terminated involuntarily; or (6) the
child has been in extended out of home placement as defined in subsection (z) of K.S.A.
38-1502 and amendments thereto. If the goal is reintegration into the family, the plan shall
include measurable objectives and time schedules for reintegration. The plan shall be sub-
mitted to the court not later than 30 days after the dispositional order is entered. If the
child is placed in the custody of the secretary, the plan shall be prepared and submitted by
the secretary. If the child is placed in the custody of a facility or person other than the
secretary, the plan shall be prepared and submitted by a court services officer.

      (b) A court services officer or, if the child is in the secretary's custody, the secretary
shall submit to the court, at least every six months, a written report of the progress being
made toward the goals of the plan submitted pursuant to subsection (a). If the child is placed
in foster care, the foster parent or parents shall submit to the court, at least every six months,
a report in regard to the child's adjustment, progress and condition. The department of
social and rehabilitation services shall notify the foster parent or parents of the foster parent's
or parent's duty to submit such report, on a form provided by the department of social and
rehabilitation services, at least two weeks prior to the date when the report is due, and the
name of the judge and the address of the court to which the report is to be submitted. Such
report shall be confidential and shall only be reviewed by the court and the child's guardian
ad litem. The court shall review the progress being made toward the goals of the plan and
the foster parent report and, if the court determines that progress is inadequate or that the
plan is no longer viable, the court shall hold a hearing pursuant to subsection (c). If the
secretary has custody of the child, such hearing shall be held no more than 12 months after
the child is placed outside the child's home and at least every 12 months thereafter. For
children in the custody of the secretary prior to July 1, 1998, within 30 days of receiving a
request from the secretary, a permanency hearing shall be held. If the goal of the plan
submitted pursuant to subsection (a) is reintegration into the family and the court deter-
mines after 12 months from the time such plan is first submitted that progress is inadequate,
the court shall hold a hearing pursuant to subsection (c). Nothing in this subsection shall
be interpreted to prohibit termination of parental rights prior to the expiration of 12 months.

      (c) Whenever a hearing is required under subsection (b), the court shall notify all in-
terested parties and the foster parents, preadoptive parents or relatives providing care for
the child and hold a hearing. Individuals receiving notice pursuant to this subsection shall
not be made a party to the action solely on the basis of this notice and opportunity to be
heard. After providing the interested parties, foster parents, preadoptive parents or relatives
providing care for the child an opportunity to be heard, the court shall determine whether
the child's needs are being adequately met and whether reintegration continues to be a
viable alternative. If the court finds reintegration is no longer a viable alternative, the court
shall consider whether the child is in a stable placement with a relative, services set out in
the case plan necessary for the safe return of the child have been made available to the
parent with whom reintegration is planned or compelling reasons are documented in the
case plan to support a finding that neither adoption nor permanent guardianship are in the
child's best interest. If reintegration is not a viable alternative and either adoption or per-
manent guardianship might be in the best interests of the child, the county or district
attorney or the county or district attorney's designee shall file a motion to terminate parental
rights or for permanent guardianship within 30 days and the court shall set a hearing on
such motion within 90 days of the filing of such motion. When the court finds reintegration
continues to be a viable alternative, the court may rescind any of its prior dispositional
orders and enter any dispositional order authorized by this code or may order that a new
plan for the reintegration be prepared and submitted to the court. No such hearing is
required when the parents voluntarily relinquish parental rights or agree to appointment of
a permanent guardian.

      Sec.  10. K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 38-1583 is hereby amended to read as follows: 38-1583. (a)
When the child has been adjudicated to be a child in need of care, the court may terminate
parental rights when the court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the parent is
unfit by reason of conduct or condition which renders the parent unable to care properly
for a child and the conduct or condition is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future.

      (b) In making a determination hereunder the court shall consider, but is not limited to,
the following, if applicable:

      (1) Emotional illness, mental illness, mental deficiency or physical disability of the par-
ent, of such duration or nature as to render the parent unlikely to care for the ongoing
physical, mental and emotional needs of the child;

      (2) conduct toward a child of a physically, emotionally or sexually cruel or abusive
nature;

      (3) excessive use of intoxicating liquors or narcotic or dangerous drugs;

      (4) physical, mental or emotional neglect of the child;

      (5) conviction of a felony and imprisonment;

      (6) unexplained injury or death of another child or stepchild of the parent;

      (7) reasonable efforts by appropriate public or private child caring agencies have been
unable to rehabilitate the family; and

      (8) lack of effort on the part of the parent to adjust the parent's circumstances, conduct
or conditions to meet the needs of the child.

      (c) In addition to the foregoing, when a child is not in the physical custody of a parent,
the court, in proceedings concerning the termination of parental rights, shall also consider,
but is not limited to the following:

      (1) Failure to assure care of the child in the parental home when able to do so;

      (2) failure to maintain regular visitation, contact or communication with the child or
with the custodian of the child;

      (3) failure to carry out a reasonable plan approved by the court directed toward the
integration of the child into the parental home; and

      (4) failure to pay a reasonable portion of the cost of substitute physical care and main-
tenance based on ability to pay.

      In making the above determination, the court may disregard incidental visitations, con-
tacts, communications or contributions.

      (d) The rights of the parents may be terminated as provided in this section if the court
finds that the parents have abandoned the child or the child was left under such circum-
stances that the identity of the parents is unknown and cannot be ascertained, despite
diligent searching, and the parents have not come forward to claim the child within three
months after the child is found.

      (e) The existence of any one of the above standing alone may, but does not necessarily,
establish grounds for termination of parental rights. The determination shall be based on
an evaluation of all factors which are applicable. In considering any of the above factors for
terminating the rights of a parent, the court shall give primary consideration to the physical,
mental or emotional condition and needs of the child. If presented to the court and subject
to the provisions of K.S.A. 60-419, and amendments thereto, the court shall consider as
evidence testimony from a person licensed to practice medicine and surgery, a licensed
psychologist or a licensed social worker expressing an opinion relating to the physical, mental
or emotional condition and needs of the child. The court shall consider any such testimony
only if the licensed professional providing such testimony is subject to cross-examination.

      (f) A termination of parental rights under the Kansas code for care of children shall not
terminate the right of the child to inherit from or through the parent. Upon such termi-
nation, all the rights of birth parents to such child, including their right to inherit from or
through such child, shall cease.

      (g) If, after finding the parent unfit, the court determines a compelling reason why it is
not in the best interests of the child to terminate parental rights or upon agreement of the
parents, the court may award permanent guardianship to an individual providing care for
the child, a relative or other person with whom the child has a close emotional attachment.
Prior to awarding permanent guardianship, the court shall receive and consider an assess-
ment as provided in K.S.A. 59-2132 and amendments thereto of any potential permanent
guardian. Upon appointment of a permanent guardian, the court shall enter an order dis-
charging the child from the court's jurisdiction.

      (h) If a parent is convicted of an offense as provided in subsection (7) of K.S.A. 38-1585
and amendments thereto or is adjudicated a juvenile offender because of an act which if
committed by an adult would be an offense as provided in subsection (7) of K.S.A. 38-1585
and amendments thereto, and if the victim was the other parent of a child, the court may
disregard such convicted or adjudicated parent's opinions or wishes in regard to the place-
ment of such child.

Prior to placing a juvenile offender in the custody of the commissioner and recommending
out-of-home placement, the court shall consider and determine that, where consistent with
the need for protection of the community:

      (1) Reasonable efforts have been made to prevent or eliminate the need for out-of-
home placement or reasonable efforts are not possible due to an emergency threatening the
safety of the juvenile offender or the community; and

      (2) out-of-home placement is in the best interests of the juvenile offender.

      (b) When a juvenile offender has been placed in the custody of the commissioner, the
commissioner shall notify the court in writing of the initial placement of the juvenile offender
as soon as the placement has been accomplished. The court shall have no power to direct
a specific placement by the commissioner, but may make recommendations to the com-
missioner. The commissioner may place the juvenile offender in an institution operated by
the commissioner, a youth residential facility or a community mental health center. If the
court has recommended an out-of-home placement, the commissioner may not return the
juvenile offender to the home from which removed without first notifying the court of the
plan.

      (c) During the time a juvenile offender remains in the custody of the commissioner,
the commissioner shall report to the court at least each six months as to the current living
arrangement and social and mental development of the juvenile offender.

hearing shall be held not more than 18 12 months after the juvenile offender is placed
outside the juvenile offender's home and, if reintegration is a viable alternative, every 12
months thereafter. The court may appoint a guardian ad litem to represent the juvenile
offender at the permanency hearing. Juvenile offenders who have been in extended out of
home placement shall be provided a permanency hearing within 30 days of a request from
the commissioner. If reintegration is not a viable alternative and either adoption or per-
manent guardianship might be in the best interests of the juvenile offender the county or
district attorney shall file a petition alleging the juvenile is a child in need of care and
requesting termination of parental rights or the appointment of a permanent guardian pur-
suant to the Kansas code for care of children. If the juvenile offender is placed in foster
care, the foster parent or parents shall submit to the court, at least every six months, a report
in regard to the juvenile offender's adjustment, progress and condition. The juvenile justice
authority shall notify the foster parent or parents of the foster parents' or parent's duty to
submit such report, on a form provided by the juvenile justice authority, at least two weeks
prior to the date when the report is due, and the name of the judge and the address of the
court to which the report is to be submitted. Such report shall be confidential and shall only

      Sec.  10. K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 38-1673 is hereby amended to read as follows: 38-1673. (a)
When a juvenile offender has satisfactorily completed such offender's term of incarceration
at the juvenile correctional facility to which the juvenile offender was committed or placed,
the person in charge of the juvenile correctional facility shall have authority to release the
juvenile offender under appropriate conditions and for a specified period of time. Prior to
release from a juvenile correctional facility, the commissioner shall consider any recommen-
dations made by the juvenile offender's juvenile community corrections officer.

      (b) At least 15 days prior to releasing a juvenile offender as provided in subsection (a),
the person in charge of the juvenile correctional facility shall notify the committing court
of the date and conditions upon which it is proposed the juvenile offender is to be released.

      (c) Upon receipt of the notice required by subsection (b), the court shall review the
proposed conditions of release and may recommend modifications or additions to the con-
ditions.

      (d) If, during the conditional release, the juvenile offender is not returning to the county
from which committed, the person in charge of the juvenile correctional facility shall also
give notice to the court of the county in which the juvenile offender is to be residing.

      (e) To assure compliance with conditions of release from a juvenile correctional facility,
the commissioner shall have the authority to prescribe the manner in which compliance
with the conditions shall be supervised. When requested by the commissioner, the appro-
priate court may assist in supervising compliance with the conditions of release during the
term of the conditional release. The commissioner may require the parents or guardians of
the juvenile offender to cooperate and participate with the conditions of release.

      (f) The juvenile justice authority shall notify at least 45 days prior to the discharge of
the juvenile offender the county or district attorney of the county where the offender was
adjudicated a juvenile offender of the release of such juvenile offender, if such juvenile
offender's offense would have constituted a class A, B or C felony before July 1, 1993, or
an off-grid felony, a nondrug crime ranked at severity level 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 or a drug crime
ranked at severity level 1, 2 or 3, on or after July 1, 1993, if committed by an adult. The
county or district attorney shall give written notice at least 30 days prior to the release of
the juvenile offender to: (1) Any victim of the juvenile offender's crime who is alive and
whose address is known to the court or, if the victim is deceased, to the victim's family if
the family's address is known to the court; (2) the local law enforcement agency; and (3)
the school district in which the juvenile offender will be residing if the juvenile is still
required to attend a secondary school. Failure to notify pursuant to this section shall not be
a reason to postpone a release. Nothing in this section shall create a cause of action against
the state or county or an employee of the state or county acting within the scope of the
employee's employment as a result of the failure to notify pursuant to this section.

      (g) Conditional release programs shall include, but not be limited to, the treatment
options of aftercare services.

      Sec.  11. K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 38-1681 is hereby amended to read as follows: 38-1681. (a)
Order authorizing prosecution as an adult or extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution. (1)
Unless the respondent has consented to the order, an appeal may be taken by a respondent
from an order authorizing prosecution as an adult. The appeal shall be taken only after
conviction and in the same manner as other criminal appeals, except that (A) where the
criminal prosecution has resulted in a judgment of conviction upon a plea of guilty or nolo
contendere, an appeal may be taken from the order authorizing prosecution pursuant to
K.S.A. 38-1636, and amendments thereto, notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a)
of K.S.A. 22-3602 and amendments thereto, and (B) if the criminal prosecution results in
an acquittal, an appeal may nevertheless be taken from the order authorizing prosecution
pursuant to K.S.A. 38-1636, and amendments thereto, if the order provides that it attaches
to future acts by the respondent as authorized by subsection (h) of K.S.A. 38-1636, and
amendments thereto.

      (2) If on appeal the order authorizing prosecution as an adult is reversed but the finding
of guilty is affirmed or the conviction was based on a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, the
respondent shall be deemed adjudicated to be a juvenile offender. On remand the district
court shall proceed with sentencing.

      (b) Orders of adjudgment and sentencing. An appeal may be taken by a respondent from
an order of such respondent being adjudged to be a juvenile offender or sentencing, or
both. The appeal shall be taken after, but within 10 days of, the entry of the sentence.

      (c) A departure sentence is subject to appeal by the defendant. The appeal shall be to
the appellate courts in accordance with rules adopted by the supreme court.

      (1) Pending review of the sentence, the sentencing court or the appellate court may order
the defendant confined or placed on conditional release, including bond.

      (2) On appeal from a judgment or conviction entered for an offense committed on or
after July 1, 1999, the appellate court shall not review:

      (A) Any sentence that is within the presumptive sentence for the crime; or

      (B) any sentence resulting from an agreement between the state and the defendant which
the sentencing court approves on the record.

      (3) In any appeal from a judgment of conviction imposing a sentence that departs from
the presumptive sentence, sentence review shall be limited to whether the sentencing court's
findings of fact and reasons justifying a departure:

      (A) Are supported by the evidence in the record; and

      (B) constitute substantial and compelling reasons for departure.

      (4) In any appeal, the appellate court may review a claim that:

      (A) A sentence that departs from the presumptive sentence resulted from partiality,
prejudice, oppression or corrupt motive;

      (B) the sentencing court erred in either including or excluding recognition of prior con-
victions or adjudications; or

      (C) the sentencing court erred in ranking the crime severity level of the current crime
or in determining the appropriate classification of a prior conviction or juvenile adjudication
for criminal history purposes.

      (5) The appellate court may reverse or affirm the sentence. If the appellate court con-
cludes that the trial court's factual findings are not supported by evidence in the record or
do not establish substantial and compelling reasons for a departure, it shall remand the case
to the trial court for resentencing.

      (6) The appellate court shall issue a written opinion whenever the judgment of the sen-
tencing court is reversed. The court may issue a written opinion in any other case when it
is believed that a written opinion will provide guidance to sentencing judges and others in
implementing the placement. The appellate courts may provide by rule for summary dis-
position of cases arising under this section when no substantial question is presented by the
appeal.

      (7) A review under summary disposition shall be made solely upon the record that was
before the sentencing court. Written briefs shall not be required unless ordered by the ap-
pellate court and the review and decision shall be made in an expedited manner according
to rules adopted by the supreme court.

      (c) (d) Priority. Appeals under this section shall have priority over other cases except
those having statutory priority.'';

unclassified service under the Kansas civil service act at state educational institutions other

(a) Whenever any person has been found guilty of a crime, the court may adjudge any of
the following:

      (1) Commit the defendant to the custody of the secretary of corrections if the current
crime of conviction is a felony and the sentence presumes imprisonment, or the sentence
imposed is a dispositional departure to imprisonment; or, if confinement is for a misde-
meanor, to jail for the term provided by law;

      (2) impose the fine applicable to the offense;

      (3) release the defendant on probation if the current crime of conviction and criminal
history fall within a presumptive nonprison category or through a departure for substantial
and compelling reasons subject to such conditions as the court may deem appropriate. In
felony cases except for violations of K.S.A. 8-1567 and amendments thereto, the court may
include confinement in a county jail not to exceed 30 days, which need not be served
consecutively, as a condition of probation or community corrections placement;

      (4) assign the defendant to a community correctional services program in presumptive
nonprison cases or through a departure for substantial and compelling reasons subject to
such conditions as the court may deem appropriate, including orders requiring full or partial
restitution;

      (5) assign the defendant to a conservation camp for a period not to exceed six months
as a condition of probation followed by a six-month period of follow-up through adult in-
tensive supervision by a community correctional services program, if the offender success-
fully completes the conservation camp program. If the defendant was classified in grid blocks
3-G, 3-H or 3-I of the sentencing guidelines grid for drug crimes, the court may impose a
nonprison sanction on the condition that the offender complete the program at the Labette
correctional conservation camp or a conservation camp established by the secretary of cor-
rections pursuant to K.S.A. 75-52,127, and amendments thereto. Such a placement decision
shall not be considered a departure and shall not be subject to appeal;

      (6) assign the defendant to a house arrest program pursuant to K.S.A. 21-4603b and
amendments thereto;

      (7) order the defendant to attend and satisfactorily complete an alcohol or drug edu-
cation or training program as provided by subsection (3) of K.S.A. 21-4502 and amendments
thereto;

      (8) order the defendant to repay the amount of any reward paid by any crime stoppers
chapter, individual, corporation or public entity which materially aided in the apprehension
or conviction of the defendant; repay the amount of any costs and expenses incurred by any
law enforcement agency in the apprehension of the defendant, if one of the current crimes
of conviction of the defendant includes escape, as defined in K.S.A. 21-3809 and amend-
ments thereto or aggravated escape, as defined in K.S.A. 21-3810 and amendments thereto;
or repay the amount of any public funds utilized by a law enforcement agency to purchase
controlled substances from the defendant during the investigation which leads to the de-
fendant's conviction. Such repayment of the amount of any such costs and expenses incurred

      (10) impose any appropriate combination of (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8) and (9);
or

      (11) suspend imposition of sentence in misdemeanor cases.

      In addition to or in lieu of any of the above, the court shall order the defendant to pay
restitution, which shall include, but not be limited to, damage or loss caused by the de-
fendant's crime, unless the court finds compelling circumstances which would render a plan
of restitution unworkable. If the court finds a plan of restitution unworkable, the court shall
state on the record in detail the reasons therefor.

      If the court orders restitution, the restitution shall be a judgment against the defendant
which may be collected by the court by garnishment or other execution as on judgments in
civil cases. If, after 60 days from the date restitution is ordered by the court, a defendant is
found to be in noncompliance with the plan established by the court for payment of resti-
tution, and the victim to whom restitution is ordered paid has not initiated proceedings in
accordance with K.S.A. 60-4301 et seq. and amendments thereto, the court shall assign an
agent procured by the attorney general pursuant to K.S.A. 75-719 and amendments thereto
to collect the restitution on behalf of the victim. The administrative judge of each judicial
district may assign such cases to an appropriate division of the court for the conduct of civil
collection proceedings.

      In addition to or in lieu of any of the above, the court shall order the defendant to submit
to and complete an alcohol and drug evaluation, and pay a fee therefor, when required by
subsection (4) of K.S.A. 21-4502 and amendments thereto.

      In addition to any of the above, the court shall order the defendant to reimburse the
county general fund for all or a part of the expenditures by the county to provide counsel
and other defense services to the defendant. Any such reimbursement to the county shall
be paid only after any order for restitution has been paid in full. In determining the amount
and method of payment of such sum, the court shall take account of the financial resources
of the defendant and the nature of the burden that payment of such sum will impose. A
defendant who has been required to pay such sum and who is not willfully in default in the
payment thereof may at any time petition the court which sentenced the defendant to waive
payment of such sum or any unpaid portion thereof. If it appears to the satisfaction of the
court that payment of the amount due will impose manifest hardship on the defendant or
the defendant's immediate family, the court may waive payment of all or part of the amount
due or modify the method of payment.

      In imposing a fine the court may authorize the payment thereof in installments. In re-
leasing a defendant on probation, the court shall direct that the defendant be under the
supervision of a court services officer. If the court commits the defendant to the custody of
the secretary of corrections or to jail, the court may specify in its order the amount of
restitution to be paid and the person to whom it shall be paid if restitution is later ordered
as a condition of parole or conditional release.

      When a new felony is committed while the offender is incarcerated and serving a sentence
for a felony or while the offender is on probation, assignment to a community correctional
services program, parole, conditional release, or postrelease supervision for a felony, a new
sentence shall be imposed pursuant to the consecutive sentencing requirements of K.S.A.
21-4608, and amendments thereto, and the court may sentence the offender to imprison-
ment for the new conviction, even when the new crime of conviction otherwise presumes
a nonprison sentence. In this event, imposition of a prison sentence for the new crime does
not constitute a departure. When a new felony is committed while the offender is on release
for a felony pursuant to the provisions of article 28 of chapter 22 of the Kansas Statutes
Annotated, a new sentence may be imposed pursuant to the consecutive sentencing require-
ments of K.S.A. 21-4608 and amendments thereto, and the court may sentence the offender
to imprisonment for the new conviction, even when the new crime of conviction otherwise
presumes a nonprison sentence. In this event, imposition of a prison sentence for the new
crime does not constitute a departure.

      Prior to imposing a dispositional departure for a defendant whose offense is classified in
the presumptive nonprison grid block of either sentencing guideline grid, prior to sentencing
a defendant to incarceration whose offense is classified in grid blocks 5-H, 5-I or 6-G of the
sentencing guidelines grid for nondrug crimes or in grid blocks 3-E, 3-F, 3-G, 3-H, 3-I, 4-
E or 4-F of the sentencing guidelines grid for drug crimes, or prior to revocation of a
nonprison sanction of a defendant whose offense is classified in the presumptive nonprison
grid block of either sentencing guideline grid or grid blocks 5-H, 5-I or 6-G of the sentencing
guidelines grid for nondrug crimes or in grid blocks 3-E, 3-F, 3-G, 3-H, 3-I, 4-E or 4-F of
the sentencing guidelines grid for drug crimes, the court shall consider placement of the
defendant in the Labette correctional conservation camp, conservation camps established
by the secretary of corrections pursuant to K.S.A. 75-52,127, and amendment thereto or a
community intermediate sanction center. Pursuant to this paragraph the defendant shall not
be sentenced to imprisonment if space is available in a conservation camp or a community
intermediate sanction center and the defendant meets all of the conservation camp's or a
community intermediate sanction center's placement criteria unless the court states on the
record the reasons for not placing the defendant in a conservation camp or a community
intermediate sanction center.

      The court in committing a defendant to the custody of the secretary of corrections shall
fix a term of confinement within the limits provided by law. In those cases where the law
does not fix a term of confinement for the crime for which the defendant was convicted,
the court shall fix the term of such confinement.

      In addition to any of the above, the court shall order the defendant to reimburse the state
general fund for all or a part of the expenditures by the state board of indigents' defense
services to provide counsel and other defense services to the defendant. In determining the
amount and method of payment of such sum, the court shall take account of the financial
resources of the defendant and the nature of the burden that payment of such sum will
impose. A defendant who has been required to pay such sum and who is not willfully in
default in the payment thereof may at any time petition the court which sentenced the
defendant to waive payment of such sum or any unpaid portion thereof. If it appears to the
satisfaction of the court that payment of the amount due will impose manifest hardship on
the defendant or the defendant's immediate family, the court may waive payment of all or
part of the amount due or modify the method of payment. The amount of attorney fees to
be included in the court order for reimbursement shall be the amount claimed by appointed
counsel on the payment voucher for indigents' defense services or the amount prescribed
by the board of indigents' defense services reimbursement tables as provided in K.S.A. 22-
4522, and amendments thereto, whichever is less.

      (b) Dispositions which do not involve commitment to the custody of the secretary of
corrections shall not entail the loss by the defendant of any civil rights. Placement of of-
fenders in a conservation camp established by the secretary of corrections pursuant to K.S.A.
75-52,127, and amendments thereto, as a nonimprisonment disposition shall not entail the
loss by the defendant of any civil rights.

      (c) This section shall not deprive the court of any authority conferred by any other
Kansas statute to decree a forfeiture of property, suspend or cancel a license, remove a
person from office, or impose any other civil penalty as a result of conviction of crime.

      (d) An application for or acceptance of probation or assignment to a community cor-
rectional services program shall not constitute an acquiescence in the judgment for purpose
of appeal, and any convicted person may appeal from such conviction, as provided by law,
without regard to whether such person has applied for probation, suspended sentence or
assignment to a community correctional services program.

      (e) The secretary of corrections is authorized to make direct placement to the Labette
correctional conservation camp or a conservation camp established by the secretary pursuant
to K.S.A. 75-52,127, and amendments thereto, of an inmate sentenced to the secretary's
custody if the inmate: (1) Has been sentenced to the secretary for a probation revocation
or, as a departure from the presumptive nonimprisonment grid block of either sentencing
grid, or for an offense which is classified in grid blocks 5-H, 5-I, or 6-G of the sentencing
guidelines grid for nondrug crimes or in grid blocks 3-E, 3-F, 3-G, 3-H, 3-I, 4-E, or 4-F of
the sentencing guidelines grid for drug crimes; and (2) otherwise meets admission criteria
of the camp. If the inmate successfully completes the six-month conservation camp program,
the secretary of corrections shall report such completion to the sentencing court and the
county or district attorney. The inmate shall then be assigned by the court to six months of
follow-up supervision conducted by the appropriate community corrections services pro-
gram. The court may also order that supervision continue thereafter for the length of time
authorized by K.S.A. 21-4611 and amendments thereto.

      (f) When it is provided by law that a person shall be sentenced pursuant to K.S.A. 1993
Supp. 21-4628, prior to its repeal, the provisions of this section shall not apply.

      Sec.  14. K.S.A. 21-4605 is hereby amended to read as follows: 21-4605. (a) (1) Upon
request of the attorney for the state or the counsel for the defendant, The judge shall make
available to the attorney for the state or counsel for the defendant the presentence report,
any report that may be received from the Topeka correctional facility or the state security
hospital and other diagnostic reports and shall allow the attorney or counsel a reasonable
time to review the report before sentencing the defendant. Except as otherwise provided
in this section, all these reports shall be part of the record but shall be sealed and opened
only on order of the court.

      (2) The court shall permit the attorney for the state or the counsel for the defendant,
upon request, to copy and retain any of the reports under subsection (a)(1). Any reports
copied and retained shall be kept in the records of the attorney for the state or the counsel
for the defendant and shall not be disclosed to any unauthorized person without permission
of the court. All costs of copying such reports shall be paid by the office of the attorney for
the state or the counsel for the defendant making the request.

      (b) If a defendant is committed to the custody of the secretary of corrections, all reports
under subsection (a)(1) shall be sent to the secretary of corrections and, in accordance with
K.S.A. 75-5220, and amendments thereto, to the warden of the state correctional institution
to which the defendant is conveyed.

      (c) Nothing in this section shall be construed as prohibiting the attorney for the de-
fendant from disclosing the report of the presentence investigation, or other diagnostic
reports, to the defendant after receiving court approval to do so.

      (d) Notwithstanding subsections (a), (b) and (c), the presentence report, any report that
may be received from the Topeka correctional facility or the state security hospital and other
diagnostic reports, shall be made available upon request to the Kansas sentencing commis-
sion for the purpose of data collection and evaluation. The presentence report shall become
part of the court record and shall be accessible to the public, except that the official version,
the defendant's version, the victim's statement, any psychological reports and any drug and
alcohol reports shall be accessible only to the attorney for the state and the counsel for the
defendant, the sentencing judge, the department of corrections and if requested, the Kansas
sentencing commission. If the offender is committed to the custody of the secretary of cor-
rections, the report shall be sent to the secretary and, in accordance with K.S.A. 75-5220
and amendments thereto, to the warden of the state correctional institution to which the
defendant is conveyed.

      (e) (c) For felony crimes committed on or after July 1, 1993, the provisions of this section
are not applicable to the presentence investigation report.

      Sec.  15. K.S.A. 21-4635 is hereby amended to read as follows: 21-4635. (a) Except as
provided in K.S.A. 21-4634 and amendments thereto, if a defendant is convicted of the crime
of capital murder and a sentence of death is not imposed, or if a defendant is convicted of
murder in the first degree based upon the finding of premeditated murder, the court shall
determine whether the defendant shall be required to serve a mandatory term of impris-
onment of 40 years or for crimes committed on and after July 1, 1999, a mandatory term
of imprisonment of 50 years or sentenced as otherwise provided by law.

      (b) In order to make such determination, the court may be presented evidence con-
cerning any matter that the court deems relevant to the question of sentence and shall
include matters relating to any of the aggravating circumstances enumerated in K.S.A. 21-
4636 and amendments thereto and any mitigating circumstances. Any such evidence which
the court deems to have probative value may be received regardless of its admissibility under
the rules of evidence, provided that the defendant is accorded a fair opportunity to rebut
any hearsay statements. Only such evidence of aggravating circumstances as the state has
made known to the defendant prior to the sentencing shall be admissible and no evidence
secured in violation of the constitution of the United States or of the state of Kansas shall
be admissible. No testimony by the defendant at the time of sentencing shall be admissible
against the defendant at any subsequent criminal proceeding. At the conclusion of the ev-
identiary presentation, the court shall allow the parties a reasonable period of time in which
to present oral argument.

      (c) If the court finds that one or more of the aggravating circumstances enumerated in
K.S.A. 21-4636 and amendments thereto exist and, further, that the existence of such ag-
gravating circumstances is not outweighed by any mitigating circumstances which are found
to exist, the defendant shall be sentenced pursuant to K.S.A. 21-4638 and amendments
thereto; otherwise, the defendant shall be sentenced as provided by law. The court shall
designate, in writing, the statutory aggravating circumstances which it found. The court may
make the findings required by this subsection for the purpose of determining whether to
sentence a defendant pursuant to K.S.A. 21-4638 and amendments thereto notwithstanding
contrary findings made by the jury or court pursuant to subsection (e) of K.S.A. 21-4624
and amendments thereto for the purpose of determining whether to sentence such defend-
ant to death.

      Sec.  16. K.S.A. 21-4638 is hereby amended to read as follows: 21-4638. When it is
provided by law that a person shall be sentenced pursuant to this section, such person shall
be sentenced to imprisonment for life and shall not be eligible for probation or suspension,
modification or reduction of sentence. Except as otherwise provided, in addition, a person
sentenced pursuant to this section shall not be eligible for parole prior to serving 40 years'
imprisonment, and such 40 years' imprisonment shall not be reduced by the application of
good time credits. For crimes committed on and after July 1, 1999, a person sentenced
pursuant to this section shall not be eligible for parole prior to serving 50 years' imprison-
ment, and such 50 years' imprisonment shall not be reduced by the application of good time
credits. Upon sentencing a defendant pursuant to this section, the court shall commit the
defendant to the custody of the secretary of corrections and the court shall state in the
sentencing order of the judgment form or journal entry, whichever is delivered with the
defendant to the correctional institution, that the defendant has been sentenced pursuant
to K.S.A. 21-4638 and amendments thereto.

      Sec.  17. K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 21-4704 is hereby amended to read as follows: 21-4704. (a)
For purposes of sentencing, the following sentencing guidelines grid for nondrug crimes
shall be applied in felony cases for crimes committed on or after July 1, 1993:





      (b) The provisions of this section shall be applicable to the sentencing guidelines grid
for nondrug crimes. Sentences expressed in such grid represent months of imprisonment.

      (c) The sentencing guidelines grid is a two-dimensional crime severity and criminal
history classification tool. The grid's vertical axis is the crime severity scale which classifies
current crimes of conviction. The grid's horizontal axis is the criminal history scale which
classifies criminal histories.

      (d) The sentencing guidelines grid for nondrug crimes as provided in this section defines
presumptive punishments for felony convictions, subject to judicial discretion to deviate for
substantial and compelling reasons and impose a different sentence in recognition of aggra-
vating and mitigating factors as provided in this act. The appropriate punishment for a felony
conviction should depend on the severity of the crime of conviction when compared to all
other crimes and the offender's criminal history.

      (e)  (1) The sentencing court has discretion to sentence at any place within the sen-
tencing range. The sentencing judge shall select the center of the range in the usual case
and reserve the upper and lower limits for aggravating and mitigating factors insufficient to
warrant a departure.

      (2) In presumptive imprisonment cases, the sentencing court shall pronounce the com-
plete sentence which shall include the prison sentence, the maximum potential reduction
to such sentence as a result of good time and the period of postrelease supervision at the
sentencing hearing. Failure to pronounce the period of postrelease supervision shall not
negate the existence of such period of postrelease supervision.

      (3) In presumptive nonprison cases, the sentencing court shall pronounce the prison
sentence as well as the duration of the nonprison sanction at the sentencing hearing.

      (f) Each grid block states the presumptive sentencing range for an offender whose crime
of conviction and criminal history place such offender in that grid block. If an offense is
classified in a grid block below the dispositional line, the presumptive disposition shall be
nonimprisonment. If an offense is classified in a grid block above the dispositional line, the
presumptive disposition shall be imprisonment. If an offense is classified in grid blocks 5-
H, 5-I or 6-G, the court may impose an optional nonprison sentence upon making the
following findings on the record:

      (1) An appropriate treatment program exists which is likely to be more effective than
the presumptive prison term in reducing the risk of offender recidivism; and

      (2) the recommended treatment program is available and the offender can be admitted
to such program within a reasonable period of time; or

      (3) the nonprison sanction will serve community safety interests by promoting offender
reformation.

      Any decision made by the court regarding the imposition of an optional nonprison sen-
tence if the offense is classified in grid blocks 5-H, 5-I or 6-G shall not be considered a
departure and shall not be subject to appeal.

      (g) The sentence for the violation of K.S.A. 21-3411, aggravated assault against a law
enforcement officer or K.S.A. 21-3415, aggravated battery against a law enforcement officer
and amendments thereto which places the defendant's sentence in grid block 6-H or 6-I
shall be presumed imprisonment. The court may impose an optional nonprison sentence
upon making a finding on the record that the nonprison sanction will serve community
safety interests by promoting offender reformation. Any decision made by the court regard-
ing the imposition of the optional nonprison sentence, if the offense is classified in grid
block 6-H or 6-I, shall not be considered departure and shall not be subject to appeal.

      (h) When a firearm is used to commit any person felony, the offender's sentence shall
be presumed imprisonment. The court may impose an optional nonprison sentence upon
making a finding on the record that the nonprison sanction will serve community safety
interests by promoting offender reformation. Any decision made by the court regarding the
imposition of the optional nonprison sentence shall not be considered a departure and shall
not be subject to appeal.

      (i) The sentence for the violation of the felony provision of K.S.A. 8-1567 and subsection
(b) of K.S.A. 21-3705, (c)(3) of K.S.A. 21-3412 and amendments thereto shall be as provided
by the specific mandatory sentencing requirements of that section and shall not be subject
to the provisions of this section or K.S.A. 21-4707 and amendments thereto. Notwithstanding
the provisions of any other section, the term of imprisonment imposed for the violation of
the felony provision of K.S.A. 8-1567 and subsection (b) of K.S.A. 21-3705, (c)(3) of K.S.A.
21-3412 and amendments thereto shall not be served in a state facility in the custody of the
secretary of corrections.

      (j) The sentence for any persistent sex offender whose current convicted crime carries
a presumptive term of imprisonment shall be double the maximum duration of the pre-
sumptive imprisonment term. The sentence for any persistent sex offender whose current
conviction carries a presumptive nonprison term shall be presumed imprisonment and shall
be double the maximum duration of the presumptive imprisonment term. Except as oth-
erwise provided in this subsection, as used in this subsection, ``persistent sex offender'' means
a person who: (1) Has been convicted in this state of a sexually violent crime, as defined in
K.S.A. 22-3717 and amendments thereto; and (2) at the time of the conviction under sub-
section (1) has at least one conviction for a sexually violent crime, as defined in K.S.A. 22-
3717 and amendments thereto in this state or comparable felony under the laws of another
state, the federal government or a foreign government. The provisions of this subsection
shall not apply to any person whose current convicted crime is a severity level 1 or 2 felony.

      (k) If it is shown at sentencing that the offender committed any felony violation for the
benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with any criminal street gang, with the specific
intent to promote, further or assist in any criminal conduct by gang members, the offender's
sentence shall be presumed imprisonment. Any decision made by the court regarding the
imposition of the optional nonprison sentence shall not be considered a departure and shall
not be subject to appeal. As used in this subsection, ``criminal street gang'' means any
organization, association or group of three or more persons, whether formal or informal,
having as one of its primary activities the commission of one or more person felonies or
felony violations of the uniform controlled substances act, K.S.A. 65-4101 et seq., and
amendments thereto, which has a common name or common identifying sign or symbol,
whose members, individually or collectively engage in or have engaged in the commission,
attempted commission, conspiracy to commit or solicitation of two or more person felonies
or felony violations of the uniform controlled substances act, K.S.A. 65-4101 et seq., and
amendments thereto, or any substantially similar offense from another jurisdiction.

      (l) The sentence for a violation of subsection (a) of K.S.A. 21-3715 and amendments
thereto when such person being sentenced has a prior conviction for a violation of subsection
(a) or (b) of K.S.A. 21-3715 or 21-3716 and amendments thereto shall be presumed impris-
onment.

      Sec.  18. K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 21-4706 is hereby amended to read as follows: 21-4706. (a)
For crimes committed on or after July 1, 1993, the sentences of imprisonment shall rep-
resent the time a person shall actually serve, subject to a reduction of up to 15% of the
primary sentence for good time as authorized by law.

      (b) The sentencing court shall pronounce sentence in all felony cases.

      (c) Violations of K.S.A. 21-3401, subsection (a) of K.S.A. 21-3402, 21-3439 and 21-3801
and amendments thereto are off-grid crimes for the purpose of sentencing. Except as oth-
erwise provided by K.S.A. 21-4622 through 21-4627, and 21-4629 through 21-4631, and
amendments thereto, the sentence shall be imprisonment for life.

      Sec.  19. K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 21-4711 is hereby amended to read as follows: 21-4711. In
addition to the provisions of K.S.A. 21-4710 and amendments thereto, the following shall
apply in determining an offender's criminal history classification as contained in the pre-
sumptive sentencing guidelines grid for nondrug crimes and the presumptive sentencing
guidelines grid for drug crimes:

      (a) Every three prior adult convictions or juvenile adjudications of class A and class B
person misdemeanors in the offender's criminal history, or any combination thereof, shall
be rated as one adult conviction or one juvenile adjudication of a person felony for criminal
history purposes. Every three prior adult convictions or juvenile adjudications of assault as
defined in K.S.A. 21-3408 and amendments thereto occurring within a period of commenc-
ing three years prior to the date of conviction for the current crime of conviction shall be
rated as one adult conviction or one juvenile adjudication of a person felony for criminal
history purposes.

      (b) A conviction of subsection (a)(1) of K.S.A. 21-4204 and amendments thereto, crim-
inal possession of firearms by a person who is both addicted to and an unlawful user of a
controlled substance, subsection (a)(4) of K.S.A. 21-4204 and amendments thereto, posses-
sion of a firearm on school grounds or K.S.A. 21-4218 and amendments thereto, possession
of a firearm on the grounds or in the state capitol building, will be scored as a select class
B nonperson misdemeanor conviction or adjudication and shall not be scored as a person
misdemeanor for criminal history purposes.

      (c)  (1) If the current crime of conviction was committed before July 1, 1996, and is for
subsection (b) of K.S.A. 21-3404, involuntary manslaughter in the commission of K.S.A. 8-
1567 and amendments thereto driving under the influence, then, each prior adult conviction
or juvenile adjudication for K.S.A. 8-1567 and amendments thereto shall count as one person
felony for criminal history purposes.

      (2) If the current crime of conviction was committed on or after July 1, 1996, and is for
involuntary manslaughter while driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, each prior
adult conviction, diversion in lieu of criminal prosecution or juvenile adjudication for an act
described in K.S.A. 8-1567 and amendments thereto shall count as one person felony for
criminal history purposes.

      (d) Prior burglary adult convictions and juvenile adjudications will be scored for criminal
history purposes as follows:

      (1) As a prior person felony if the prior conviction or adjudication was classified as a
burglary as described in subsection (a) of K.S.A. 21-3715 and amendments thereto.

      (2) As a prior nonperson felony if the prior conviction or adjudication was classified as
a burglary as described in subsection (b) or (c) of K.S.A. 21-3715 and amendments thereto.

      The facts required to classify prior burglary adult convictions and juvenile adjudications
must be established by the state by a preponderance of the evidence.

      (e) Out-of-state convictions and juvenile adjudications will be used in classifying the
offender's criminal history. An out-of-state crime will be classified as either a felony or a
misdemeanor according to the convicting jurisdiction. If a crime is a felony in another state,
it will be counted as a felony in Kansas. The state of Kansas shall classify the crime as person
or nonperson. In designating a crime as person or nonperson comparable offenses shall be
referred to. If the state of Kansas does not have a comparable offense, the out-of-state
conviction shall be classified as a nonperson crime. Convictions or adjudications occurring
within the federal system, other state systems, the District of Columbia, foreign, tribal or
military courts are considered out-of-state convictions or adjudications. The facts required
to classify out-of-state adult convictions and juvenile adjudications must be established by
the state by a preponderance of the evidence.

      (f) Except as provided in subsections (4), (5) and (6) of K.S.A. 21-4705 21-4710 and
amendments thereto, juvenile adjudications will be applied in the same manner as adult
convictions. Out-of-state juvenile adjudications will be treated as juvenile adjudications in
Kansas.

      (g) A prior felony conviction of an attempt, a conspiracy or a solicitation as provided in
K.S.A. 21-3301, 21-3302 or 21-3303 and amendments thereto, to commit a crime shall be
treated as a person or nonperson crime in accordance with the designation assigned to the
underlying crime.

      (h) Drug crimes are designated as nonperson crimes for criminal history scoring.

      Sec.  20. K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 22-3717 is hereby amended to read as follows: 22-3717. (a)
Except as otherwise provided by this section, K.S.A. 1993 Supp. 21-4628 prior to its repeal
and K.S.A. 21-4635 through 21-4638 and amendments thereto, an inmate, including an
inmate sentenced pursuant to K.S.A. 21-4618 and amendments thereto, shall be eligible for
parole after serving the entire minimum sentence imposed by the court, less good time
credits.

      (b)  (1) Except as provided by K.S.A. 21-4635 through 21-4638 and amendments
thereto, an inmate sentenced to imprisonment for the crime of capital murder, or an inmate
sentenced for the crime of murder in the first degree based upon a finding of premeditated
murder, committed on or after July 1, 1994, shall be eligible for parole after serving 25 years
of confinement, without deduction of any good time credits.

      (2) Except as provided by subsection (b)(1) or (b)(4), K.S.A. 1993 Supp. 21-4628 prior
to its repeal and K.S.A. 21-4635 through 21-4638, and amendments thereto, an inmate
sentenced to imprisonment for an off-grid offense committed on or after July 1, 1993, but
prior to July 1, 1999, shall be eligible for parole after serving 15 years of confinement,
without deduction of any good time credits and an inmate sentenced to imprisonment for
an off-grid offense committed on or after July 1, 1999, shall be eligible for parole after serving
20 years of confinement without deduction of any good time credits.

      (3) Except as provided by K.S.A. 1993 Supp. 21-4628 prior to its repeal, an inmate
sentenced for a class A felony committed before July 1, 1993, including an inmate sentenced
pursuant to K.S.A. 21-4618 and amendments thereto, shall be eligible for parole after serving
15 years of confinement, without deduction of any good time credits.

      (4) An inmate sentenced to imprisonment for a violation of subsection (a) of K.S.A. 21-
3402 and amendments thereto committed on or after July 1, 1996, but prior to July 1, 1999,
shall be eligible for parole after serving 10 years of confinement without deduction of any
good time credits.

      (c) Except as provided in subsection (e), if an inmate is sentenced to imprisonment for
more than one crime and the sentences run consecutively, the inmate shall be eligible for
parole after serving the total of:

      (1) The aggregate minimum sentences, as determined pursuant to K.S.A. 21-4608 and
amendments thereto, less good time credits for those crimes which are not class A felonies;
and

      (2) an additional 15 years, without deduction of good time credits, for each crime which
is a class A felony.

      (d)  (1) Persons sentenced for crimes, other than off-grid crimes, committed on or after
July 1, 1993, will not be eligible for parole, but will be released to a mandatory period of
postrelease supervision upon completion of the prison portion of their sentence as follows:

      (A) Except as provided in subparagraphs (C) and (D), persons sentenced for nondrug
severity level 1 through 6 crimes and drug severity levels 1 through 3 crimes must serve 36
months, plus the amount of good time earned and retained pursuant to K.S.A. 21-4722 and
amendments thereto, on postrelease supervision.

      (B) Except as provided in subparagraphs (C) and (D), persons sentenced for nondrug
severity level 7 through 10 crimes and drug severity level 4 crimes must serve 24 months,
plus the amount of good time earned and retained pursuant to K.S.A. 21-4722 and amend-
ments thereto, on postrelease supervision.

      (C)  (i) The sentencing judge shall impose the postrelease supervision period provided
in subparagraph (d)(1)(A) or (d)(1)(B), unless the judge finds substantial and compelling
reasons to impose a departure based upon a finding that the current crime of conviction
was sexually violent or sexually motivated. In that event, departure may be imposed to extend

except that the Kansas parole board may postpone the inmate's parole eligibility date by
assessing a penalty not exceeding the period of time which could have been assessed if the
inmate's parole or conditional release had been violated for reasons other than conviction
of a crime.

      (f) If a person is sentenced to prison for a crime committed on or after July 1, 1993,
while on probation, parole, conditional release or in a community corrections program, for
a crime committed prior to July 1, 1993, and the person is not eligible for retroactive
application of the sentencing guidelines and amendments thereto pursuant to K.S.A. 21-
4724 and amendments thereto, the new sentence shall not be aggregated with the old
sentence, but shall begin when the person is paroled or reaches the conditional release date
on the old sentence. If the offender was past the offender's conditional release date at the
time the new offense was committed, the new sentence shall not be aggregated with the
old sentence but shall begin when the person is ordered released by the Kansas parole board
or reaches the maximum sentence expiration date on the old sentence, whichever is earlier.
The new sentence shall then be served as otherwise provided by law. The period of post-
release supervision shall be based on the new sentence, except that those offenders whose
old sentence is a term of imprisonment for life, imposed pursuant to K.S.A. 1993 Supp. 21-
4628 prior to its repeal, or an indeterminate sentence with a maximum term of life impris-
onment, for which there is no conditional release or maximum sentence expiration date,
shall remain on postrelease supervision for life or until discharged from supervision by the
Kansas parole board.

      (g) Subject to the provisions of this section, the Kansas parole board may release on
parole those persons confined in institutions who are eligible for parole when: (1) The board
believes that the inmate should be released for hospitalization, for deportation or to answer
the warrant or other process of a court and is of the opinion that there is reasonable prob-
ability that the inmate can be released without detriment to the community or to the inmate;
or (2) the secretary of corrections has reported to the board in writing that the inmate has
satisfactorily completed the programs required by any agreement entered under K.S.A. 75-
5210a and amendments thereto, or any revision of such agreement, and the board believes
that the inmate is able and willing to fulfill the obligations of a law abiding citizen and is of
the opinion that there is reasonable probability that the inmate can be released without
detriment to the community or to the inmate. Parole shall not be granted as an award of
clemency and shall not be considered a reduction of sentence or a pardon.

      (h) The Kansas parole board shall hold a parole hearing at least the month prior to the
month an inmate will be eligible for parole under subsections (a), (b) and (c). At least the
month preceding the parole hearing, the county or district attorney of the county where the
inmate was convicted shall give written notice of the time and place of the public comment
sessions for the inmate to any victim of the inmate's crime who is alive and whose address
is known to the county or district attorney or, if the victim is deceased, to the victim's family
if the family's address is known to the county or district attorney. Except as otherwise
provided, failure to notify pursuant to this section shall not be a reason to postpone a parole
hearing. In the case of any inmate convicted of a class A felony the secretary of corrections
shall give written notice of the time and place of the public comment session for such inmate
at least one month preceding the public comment session to any victim of such inmate's
crime or the victim's family pursuant to K.S.A. 74-7338 and amendments thereto. If noti-
fication is not given to such victim or such victim's family in the case of any inmate convicted
of a class A felony, the board shall postpone a decision on parole of the inmate to a time at
least 30 days after notification is given as provided in this section. Nothing in this section
shall create a cause of action against the state or an employee of the state acting within the
scope of the employee's employment as a result of the failure to notify pursuant to this
section. If granted parole, the inmate may be released on parole on the date specified by
the board, but not earlier than the date the inmate is eligible for parole under subsections
(a), (b) and (c). At each parole hearing and, if parole is not granted, at such intervals there-
after as it determines appropriate, the Kansas parole board shall consider: (1) Whether the
inmate has satisfactorily completed the programs required by any agreement entered under
K.S.A. 75-5210a and amendments thereto, or any revision of such agreement; and (2) all
pertinent information regarding such inmate, including, but not limited to, the circum-
stances of the offense of the inmate; the presentence report; the previous social history and
criminal record of the inmate; the conduct, employment, and attitude of the inmate in
prison; the reports of such physical and mental examinations as have been made; comments
of the victim and the victim's family; comments of the public; official comments; and capacity
of state correctional institutions.

      (i) In those cases involving inmates sentenced for a crime committed after July 1, 1993,
the parole board will review the inmates proposed release plan. The board may schedule a
hearing if they desire. The board may impose any condition they deem necessary to insure
public safety, aid in the reintegration of the inmate into the community, or items not com-
pleted under the agreement entered into under K.S.A. 75-5210a and amendments thereto.
The board may not advance or delay an inmate's release date. Every inmate while on post-
release supervision shall remain in the legal custody of the secretary of corrections and is
subject to the orders of the secretary.

      (j) Before ordering the parole of any inmate, the Kansas parole board shall have the
inmate appear before either in person or via a video conferencing format and shall interview
the inmate unless impractical because of the inmate's physical or mental condition or ab-
sence from the institution. Every inmate while on parole shall remain in the legal custody
of the secretary of corrections and is subject to the orders of the secretary. Whenever the
Kansas parole board formally considers placing an inmate on parole and no agreement has
been entered into with the inmate under K.S.A. 75-5210a and amendments thereto, the
board shall notify the inmate in writing of the reasons for not granting parole. If an agree-
ment has been entered under K.S.A. 75-5210a and amendments thereto and the inmate has
not satisfactorily completed the programs specified in the agreement, or any revision of such
agreement, the board shall notify the inmate in writing of the specific programs the inmate
must satisfactorily complete before parole will be granted. If parole is not granted only
because of a failure to satisfactorily complete such programs, the board shall grant parole
upon the secretary's certification that the inmate has successfully completed such programs.
If an agreement has been entered under K.S.A. 75-5210a and amendments thereto and the
secretary of corrections has reported to the board in writing that the inmate has satisfactorily
completed the programs required by such agreement, or any revision thereof, the board
shall not require further program participation. However, if the board determines that other
pertinent information regarding the inmate warrants the inmate's not being released on
parole, the board shall state in writing the reasons for not granting the parole. If parole is
denied for an inmate sentenced for a crime other than a class A or class B felony or an off-
grid felony, the board shall hold another parole hearing for the inmate not later than one
year after the denial unless the parole board finds that it is not reasonable to expect that
parole would be granted at a hearing if held in the next three years or during the interim
period of a deferral. In such case, the parole board may defer subsequent parole hearings
for up to three years but any such deferral by the board shall require the board to state the
basis for its findings. If parole is denied for an inmate sentenced for a class A or class B
felony or an off-grid felony, the board shall hold another parole hearing for the inmate not
later than three years after the denial unless the parole board finds that it is not reasonable
to expect that parole would be granted at a hearing if held in the next 10 years or during
the interim period of a deferral. In such case, the parole board may defer subsequent parole
hearings for up to 10 years but any such deferral shall require the board to state the basis
for its findings.

      (k) Parolees and persons on postrelease supervision shall be assigned, upon release, to
the appropriate level of supervision pursuant to the criteria established by the secretary of
corrections.

      (l) The Kansas parole board shall adopt rules and regulations in accordance with K.S.A.
77-415 et seq., and amendments thereto, not inconsistent with the law and as it may deem
proper or necessary, with respect to the conduct of parole hearings, postrelease supervision
reviews, revocation hearings, orders of restitution, reimbursement of expenditures by the
state board of indigents' defense services and other conditions to be imposed upon parolees
or releasees. Whenever an order for parole or postrelease supervision is issued it shall recite
the conditions thereof.

      (m) Whenever the Kansas parole board orders the parole of an inmate or establishes
conditions for an inmate placed on postrelease supervision, the board:

      (1) Unless it finds compelling circumstances which would render a plan of payment
unworkable, shall order as a condition of parole or postrelease supervision that the parolee
or the person on postrelease supervision pay any transportation expenses resulting from
returning the parolee or the person on postrelease supervision to this state to answer criminal
charges or a warrant for a violation of a condition of probation, assignment to a community
correctional services program, parole, conditional release or postrelease supervision;

      (2) to the extent practicable, shall order as a condition of parole or postrelease super-

successfully complete the equivalent of a secondary education if the inmate has not previ-
ously completed such educational equivalent and is capable of doing so;

      (3) may order that the parolee or person on postrelease supervision perform community
or public service work for local governmental agencies, private corporations organized not-
for-profit or charitable or social service organizations performing services for the commu-
nity;

      (4) may order the parolee or person on postrelease supervision to pay the administrative
fee imposed pursuant to K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 22-4529 unless the board finds compelling
circumstances which would render payment unworkable; and

      (5) unless it finds compelling circumstances which would render a plan of payment
unworkable, shall order that the parolee or person on postrelease supervision reimburse the
state for all or part of the expenditures by the state board of indigents' defense services to
provide counsel and other defense services to the person. In determining the amount and
method of payment of such sum, the parole board shall take account of the financial re-
sources of the person and the nature of the burden that the payment of such sum will
impose. Such amount shall not exceed the amount claimed by appointed counsel on the
payment voucher for indigents' defense services or the amount prescribed by the board of
indigents' defense services reimbursement tables as provided in K.S.A. 22-4522 and amend-
ments thereto, whichever is less, minus any previous payments for such services.

      (n) If the court which sentenced an inmate specified at the time of sentencing the
amount and the recipient of any restitution ordered as a condition of parole or postrelease
supervision, the Kansas parole board shall order as a condition of parole or postrelease
supervision that the inmate pay restitution in the amount and manner provided in the journal
entry unless the board finds compelling circumstances which would render a plan of resti-
tution unworkable.

      (o) Whenever the Kansas parole board grants the parole of an inmate, the board, within
10 days of the date of the decision to grant parole, shall give written notice of the decision
to the county or district attorney of the county where the inmate was sentenced.

      (p) When an inmate is to be released on postrelease supervision, the secretary, within
30 days prior to release, shall provide the county or district attorney of the county where
the inmate was sentenced written notice of the release date.

      (q) Inmates shall be released on postrelease supervision upon the termination of the
prison portion of their sentence. Time served while on postrelease supervision will vest.

      (r) An inmate who is allocated regular good time credits as provided in K.S.A. 22-3725
and amendments thereto may receive meritorious good time credits in increments of not
more than 90 days per meritorious act. These credits may be awarded by the secretary of
corrections when an inmate has acted in a heroic or outstanding manner in coming to the
assistance of another person in a life threatening situation, preventing injury or death to a
person, preventing the destruction of property or taking actions which result in a financial
savings to the state.

      Sec.  33. K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 22-4906 is hereby amended to read as follows: 22-4906. (a)
Any person required to register as provided in this act shall be required to register: (1) Upon

and amendments thereto, any offense as defined in subsection (a) of K.S.A. 22-4902 and
amendments thereto or any offense as defined in subsection (d) of K.S.A. 22-4902 and
amendments thereto, if not confined, for a period of 10 years after conviction, or, if confined,
for a period of 10 years after paroled, discharged or released; or (2) upon a second or
subsequent conviction for such person's lifetime.

      (b) Upon the first conviction, liability for registration terminates, if not confined, at the
expiration of 10 years from the date of conviction, or, if confined, at the expiration of 10
years from the date of parole, discharge or release, if the convicted offender does not again
become liable to register as provided by this act during that period.

      (c) On and after July 1, 1999, any person who has been convicted of an aggravated
offense shall be required to register for such person's lifetime. The provisions of this subsec-
tion shall expire on June 30, 2009.

      Sec.  34. K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 22-4908 is hereby amended to read as follows: 22-4908. (a)
Any offender registered as provided in this act may apply to the sentencing court for an
order relieving the offender of the duty of registration, except that no offender may apply
as provided in this section for an order relieving the offender of the duty of registration
until such offender has registered for a period of at least 10 years for each conviction for
which an offender must register as provided by this act. The court shall hold a hearing on
the application at which the applicant and any interested persons may present witnesses and
other evidence.

      (b) At such hearing, if the person is a person who is required to register due to a
conviction of a sexually violent crime as defined in K.S.A. 22-4902 and amendments thereto,
the court shall receive and consider a report by a board composed of experts in the field of
the behavior and treatment of sexual offenders. Such board shall be appointed as provided
by rules and regulations promulgated by the attorney general. If, after the hearing involving
such person, the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the sex offender is
rehabilitated and that the sex offender, does not suffer from a mental abnormality or per-
sonality disorder that would make the person likely to engage in a predatory sexually violent
crime, the court shall grant an order relieving the offender of the duty of further registration
under this act. For purposes of this act, ``mental abnormality'' means a congenital or acquired
condition affecting the emotional or volitional capacity which predisposes the person to
commit a sexually violent crime in a degree constituting such person a menace to the health
and safety of others.

      (c) If, after the hearing involving a person who is an offender who was not required to
register due to a conviction of a sexually violent crime as defined in K.S.A. 22-4902 and
amendments thereto, the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the offender
is rehabilitated, the court shall grant an order relieving the offender of the duty of further
registration under this act.

      (d) Any person registered as provided in this act may apply to the sentencing court for
an order relieving such person of the duty of registration for any conviction which has been
set aside. The court shall hold a hearing on the application at which the applicant shall
present evidence verifying that such applicant's conviction was set aside. If the court finds
that the person's conviction was set aside, the court shall grant an order relieving the person
of the duty of further registration under this act for any conviction which has been set aside.
Such court granting such an order shall forward a copy of such order to the sheriff of the
county in which such person has registered and to the Kansas bureau of investigation. Upon
receipt of such copy of the order, such sheriff and the Kansas bureau of investigation shall
remove such person's name from the registry for any conviction which has been set aside.
Nothing contained in this subsection shall relieve any person of the duty to register or any
other duty prescribed under this act for any conviction which has not been set aside.

      (e) Any person required to register as an offender pursuant to the Kansas offender
registration act, K.S.A. 22-4901 et seq., and amendments thereto, who has a second or
subsequent conviction for an offense which requires registration pursuant to such act, and
any person who has been convicted of an aggravated offense, shall not be granted an order
relieving the offender of further registration under this act. The provisions of this subsection
shall expire on June 30, 2009.

      Sec.  35. K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 75-5217, as amended by section 1 of 1999 House Bill No.
2137, is hereby amended to read as follows: 75-5217. (a) At any time during release on
parole, conditional release or postrelease supervision, the secretary of corrections may issue
a warrant for the arrest of a released inmate for violation of any of the conditions of release,
or a notice to appear to answer to a charge of violation. Such notice shall be served personally
upon the released inmate. The warrant shall authorize any law enforcement officer to arrest
and deliver the released inmate to a place as provided by subsection (f). Any parole officer
may arrest such released inmate without a warrant, or may deputize any other officer with
power of arrest to do so by giving such officer a written arrest and detain order setting forth
that the released inmate, in the judgment of the parole officer, has violated the conditions
of the inmate's release. The written arrest and detain order delivered with the released
inmate by the arresting officer to the official in charge of the institution or place to which
the released inmate is brought for detention shall be sufficient warrant for detaining the
inmate. After making an arrest the parole officer shall present to the detaining authorities
a similar arrest and detain order and statement of the circumstances of violation. Pending
a hearing, as provided in this section, upon any charge of violation the released inmate shall
remain incarcerated in the institution or place to which the inmate is taken for detention.

      (b) Upon such arrest and detention, the parole officer shall notify the secretary of cor-
rections, or the secretary's designee, within five days and shall submit in writing a report
showing in what manner the released inmate had violated the conditions of release. After
such notification is given to the secretary of corrections, or upon an arrest by warrant as
herein provided, and the finding of probable cause pursuant to procedures established by
the secretary of a violation of the released inmate's conditions of release, the secretary shall
cause the released inmate to be brought before the Kansas parole board, its designee or
designees, for a hearing on the violation charged, under such rules and regulations as the
board may adopt. It is within the discretion of the Kansas parole board whether such hearing
requires the released inmate to appear personally before the board when such inmate's
violation results from a conviction for a new felony or misdemeanor. An offender under
determinant sentencing whose violation does not result from a conviction of a new felony or
misdemeanor may waive the right to a final revocation hearing before the Kansas parole
board under such conditions and terms as may be prescribed by rules and regulations prom-
ulgated by the Kansas parole board. Relevant written statements made under oath shall be
admitted and considered by the Kansas parole board, its designee or designees, along with
other evidence presented at the hearing. If the violation is established to the satisfaction of
the Kansas parole board, the board may continue or revoke the parole or conditional release,
or enter such other order as the board may see fit. Revocations The revocation of release
of inmates who are on a specified period of postrelease supervision shall be for a six-month
period of confinement from the date of the revocation hearing before the board or the
effective date of waiver of such hearing by the offender pursuant to rules and regulations
promulgated by the Kansas parole board, if the violation does not result from a conviction
for a new felony or misdemeanor. Such period of confinement may be reduced by not more
than three months based on the inmate's conduct, work and program participating during
the incarceration period. The reduction in the incarceration period shall be on an earned
basis pursuant to rules and regulations adopted by the secretary of corrections.

      (c) If the violation does result from a conviction for a new felony or misdemeanor, upon
revocation the inmate shall serve the entire remaining balance of the period of postrelease
supervision even if the new conviction did not result in the imposition of a new term of
imprisonment.

      (d) In the event the released inmate reaches conditional release date as provided by
K.S.A. 22-3718 and amendments thereto after a finding of probable cause, pursuant to
procedures established by the secretary of corrections of a violation of the released inmate's
conditions of release, but prior to a hearing before the Kansas parole board, the secretary
of corrections shall be authorized to detain the inmate until the hearing by the Kansas parole
board. The secretary shall then enforce the order issued by the Kansas parole board.

      (e) If the secretary of corrections issues a warrant for the arrest of a released inmate
for violation of any of the conditions of release and the released inmate is subsequently
arrested in the state of Kansas, either pursuant to the warrant issued by the secretary of
corrections or for any other reason, the released inmate's sentence shall not be credited
with the period of time from the date of the issuance of the secretary's warrant to the date
of the released inmate's arrest.

      If a released inmate for whom a warrant has been issued by the secretary of corrections
for violation of the conditions of release is subsequently arrested in another state, and the
released inmate has been authorized as a condition of such inmate's release to reside in or
travel to the state in which the released inmate was arrested, and the released inmate has
not absconded from supervision, the released inmate's sentence shall not be credited with
the period of time from the date of the issuance of the warrant to the date of the released
inmate's arrest. If the released inmate for whom a warrant has been issued by the secretary
of corrections for violation of the conditions of release is subsequently arrested in another
state for reasons other than the secretary's warrant and the released inmate does not have
authorization to be in the other state or if authorized to be in the other state has been
charged by the secretary with having absconded from supervision, the released inmate's
sentence shall not be credited with the period of time from the date of the issuance of the
warrant by the secretary to the date the released inmate is first available to be returned to
the state of Kansas. If the released inmate for whom a warrant has been issued by the
secretary of corrections for violation of a condition of release is subsequently arrested in
another state pursuant only to the secretary's warrant, the released inmate's sentence shall
not be credited with the period of time from the date of the issuance of the secretary's
warrant to the date of the released inmate's arrest, regardless of whether the released in-
mate's presence in the other state was authorized or the released inmate had absconded
from supervision.

      The secretary may issue a warrant for the arrest of a released inmate for violation of any
of the conditions of release and may direct that all reasonable means to serve the warrant
and detain such released inmate be employed including but not limited to notifying the
federal bureau of investigation of such violation and issuance of warrant and requesting from
the federal bureau of investigation any pertinent information it may possess concerning the
whereabouts of the released inmate.

      (f) Law enforcement officers shall execute warrants issued by the secretary of correc-
tions pursuant to subsection (a) or (d), and shall deliver the inmate named in the warrant
to the jail used by the county where the inmate is arrested unless some other place is
designated by the secretary, in the same manner as for the execution of any arrest warrant.

      (g) For the purposes of this section, an inmate or released inmate is an individual under
the supervision of the secretary of corrections, including, but not limited to, an individual
on parole, conditional release, postrelease supervision, probation granted by another state
or an individual supervised under any interstate compact in accordance with the provisions
of the uniform act for out-of-state parolee supervision, K.S.A. 22-4101 et seq. and amend-
ments thereto.

      New Sec.  36. Nothing in the Kansas offender registration act shall create a cause of
action against the state or an employee of the state acting within the scope of the employee's
employment as a result of requiring an offender to register or an offender's failure to register.

      New Sec.  37. (a) Any offender who was required to be registered pursuant to the Kansas
offender registration act K.S.A. 22-4901 et seq. and amendments thereto, prior to July 1,
1999, and who would not have been required to be registered pursuant to the Kansas
offender registration act on and after July 1, 1999, as a result of enactment of this act, shall
be entitled to be relieved of the requirement to be registered. Such offender may apply to
the sentencing court for an order relieving the offender of the duty of registration. The
court shall hold a hearing on the application at which the applicant shall present evidence
verifying that such applicant no longer satisfies the definition of offender pursuant to K.S.A.
22-4902 and amendments thereto. If the court finds that the person no longer satisfies the
definition of offender pursuant to K.S.A. 22-4902 and amendments thereto, the court shall
grant an order relieving the offender's duty to register if the offender no longer fulfills the
definition of offender pursuant to K.S.A. 22-4902 and amendments thereto. Such court
granting such an order shall forward a copy of such order to the sheriff of the county in
which such person has registered and to the Kansas bureau of investigation. Upon receipt
of such copy of the order, such sheriff and the Kansas bureau of investigation shall remove
such person's name from the registry.

      (b) This section shall be part of an supplemental to the Kansas offender registration act.

EXPLANATION OF VOTE
 Mr. President: This afternoon we received the latest state general fund profile. The
profile indicates that we are already minus $2 million in funds available for additional ex-
penditures in 2001.

 We have all heard and know of parts of the state economy that are suffering. Our revenue
projections are down.

 There are numerous good programs represented in the bill. However we are headed for
a real conflict in funding responsibilities the next couple of years. Currently education rep-
resents approximately 66% of the state budget. With actions taken this session it will grow
to 70% or more. We will find it difficult to properly fund education let alone the demands
from the remaining 30% of the budget.

 Mr. President I regretfully vote no.--Nick Jordan
