EXPLANATION OF VOTE
 Mr. Speaker: I vote no on Sub. HB  2591. I do not oppose the concept of expanding
knowledge for classrooms and libraries. I do oppose tax dollars being spent potentially on
pornography in classrooms and libraries. To the best of my knowledge technology does not
currently exist that deals with this problem satisfactorily. Until this problem is addressed, I
am morally obliged to vote no.--Kay O'Connor

 HCR 5064, A PROPOSITION to amend article 11 of the constitution of the state of
Kansas by adding a new section thereto, exempting from property taxation a portion of the
valuation of property used for certain purposes.

Be it resolved by the Legislature of the State of Kansas, two-thirds of the members elected
      (or appointed) and qualified to the House of Representatives and two-thirds of the mem-
      bers elected (or appointed) and qualified to the Senate concurring therein:

         Section 1. The following proposition to amend the constitution of the state of Kansas shall
be submitted to the qualified electors of the state for their approval or rejection: Article 11
of the constitution of the state of Kansas is hereby amended by adding a new section thereto
to read as follows:

         ``§ 14. Prohibition against tax rate increases. No enactment of the legislature
      shall: (a) Increase the rate of any tax imposed prior to November 7, 2000; (b) impose
      a new tax after November 7, 2000; or (c) increase the rate of any tax described by
      clause (b), without the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members of the House
      of Representatives and the Senate. Exemption of property used for certain pur-
      poses. For all taxable years commencing after December 31, 2000, property used for
      residential purposes, real property used for commercial and industrial purposes and
      buildings and other improvements located upon land devoted to agricultural use to
      the extent of $20,000 of its appraised valuation shall be and is hereby exempt from
      property taxation. Such exemption amount may be increased by law.''

 Sec. 2. The following statement shall be printed on the ballot with the amendment as a
whole:

       ``Explanatory statement. This amendment would establish an exemption from
      property taxation of a portion of the appraised valuation of property used for resi-
      dential purposes, real property used for commercial and industrial purposes and
      buildings and other improvements located upon land devoted to agricultural use.

       ``A vote for the proposition would exempt from property taxation property used
      for residential purposes, real property used for commercial and industrial purposes
      and buildings and other improvements located upon land devoted to agricultural use
      to the extent of $20,000 of its appraised valuation. The legislature could provide by
      law for an increase in such exemption amount.

     
       ``A vote against this proposition would maintain the absence of a constitutional
      exemption for property used for residential purposes, real property used for com-
      mercial and industrial purposes and buildings and other improvements located upon
      land devoted to agricultural use.''

 Sec. 3. This resolution, if approved by two-thirds of the members elected (or appointed)
and qualified to the House of Representatives and two-thirds of the members elected (or
appointed) and qualified to the Senate, shall be entered on the journals, together with the

EXPLANATIONS OF VOTE
 Mr. Speaker: I vote ``no'' on SB 462. We had an opportunity to pass reasonable reforms
and limitations with this bill, but, as usual, hypocritical floor amendments, meant to look
good on campaign brochures but really designed to derail the legislation, were added that
will ensure that no bill eventually passes. I've witnessed these games every year I've been
here and every year the public's confidence in the process diminishes.--Michael R.
O'Neal

   Mr. Speaker: Picture this: Inmates in a prison block. A new prisoner arrives. After a
while, an inmate calls out, ``18!'' and the other prisoners laugh.

 Another inmate hollers, ``2627.'' The prisoners roar. ``What's the deal?'' the perplexed
new prisoner asks a cellmate. ``We've been in here so long and we've heard the same jokes
so many times that now we just have numbers for the jokes.'' The new prisoner, anxious to
fit in, calls out, ``462!''

 Nothing. ``Isn't 462 funny?'' The old cellmate says ``It's not the joke, it's how you tell it.''
I vote no on SB 462.--Dave Gregory

EXPLANATION OF VOTE
 Mr. Speaker: Although I concur with the bill's goal, namely more immediate disclosure
of major contributions to statewide campaigns, SB 464 presents difficulties to the campaign
treasurer which are virtually insurmountable. Daily reporting puts a burden on the treasurer
to capture financial information from the busy candidate, staff, and volunteers all over the
state, during the last hectic days of the campaign. Failure to report each and every check
on a timely basis becomes a criminal transgression. I cannot, in good conscience, impose a
nearly impossible task on a campaign treasurer, no matter how worthy the intent of the bill.
I vote ``no'' on SB 464.--John T. Edmonds, Susan Wagle, Tony Powell, Phill Kline,
Peggy Palmer

EXPLANATION OF VOTE
 Mr. Speaker: Art. 2, § 16 of our Kansas Constitution mandates that no bill shall contain
more than one subject. PEERA, even in a purportedly limited context which amends Ch.
75 of the statutes dealing with State Agencies and their employees, has nothing to do with
organization and classification of 2nd Class Cities as set forth in Ch. 14 of the statutes. SB
566 is unconstitutional, and I vote no.--Ward Loyd, Gerry Ray, Al Lane

Judicial Finding of Fact and Conclusion of Law
Regarding a Documentation or Instrument purporting to
Create a Lien or Claim.
      On the (number) day of (month), (year), in the above entitled and numbered cause, this
court reviewed a motion, verified by affidavit, of (name) and the documentation or instru-
ment attached thereto. No testimony was taken from any party, nor was there any notice of
the court's review, the court having made the determination that a decision could be made
solely on review of the documentation or instrument as provided in K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 58-
4301 and amendments thereto.

      The court finds as follows (only an item checked and initialed is a valid court ruling):

      The documentation or instrument attached to the motion IS asserted against real or
personal property or an interest in real or personal property and:

      (1) IS provided for by specific state or federal statutes or constitutional provisions;


      (2) IS created by implied or express consent or agreement of the obligor, debtor or the
owner of the real or personal property or an interest in the real or personal property, if
required under the laws of this state, or by consent of an agent, fiduciary or other repre-
sentative of that person; or

      (3) IS an equitable, constructive or other lien imposed by a court of competent juris-
diction created or established under the constitution or laws of this state or of the United
States.

      The documentation or instrument attached to the motion herein:

      (1) IS NOT provided for by specific state or federal statutes or constitutional provisions;

      (2) IS NOT created by implied or express consent or agreement of the obligor, debtor
or the owner of the real or personal property or an interest in the real or personal property,
if required under the law of this state or by implied or express consent or agreement of an
agent, fiduciary or other representative of that person;

      (3) IS NOT an equitable, constructive or other lien imposed by a court of competent
jurisdiction created by or established under the constitution or laws of this state or the
United States; or

      (4) IS NOT asserted against real or personal property or an interest in real or personal
property. There is no valid lien or claim created by this documentation or instrument.

      This court makes no finding as to any underlying claims of the parties involved and
expressly limits its finding of fact and conclusion of law to the review of a ministerial act.
The filing officer shall file this finding of fact and conclusion of law in the same class of
records as the subject documentation or instrument was originally filed, and the court directs
the filing officer to index it using the same names that were used in indexing the subject
documentation or instrument terminate the document or instrument purporting to create
the lien or claim.

worksheet for a reporting period shall be liable for an administrative penalty imposed by
the commission in a sum not to exceed $1,000 for failure to submit such worksheet. Each
reporting period for which such carrier, utility or provider fails to submit such worksheet
shall constitute a separate offense.

commission has to enforce compliance.

 (e) (f) The KUSF administrator shall be responsible to ensure that funds do not fall below
the level necessary to pay all amounts collectively owed to all qualifying telecommunications
public utilities, wireless telecommunications service providers and telecommunications car-
riers. The administrator shall have the authority to retain and invest in a prudent and rea-
sonable manner any excess funds collected in any period to help ensure that adequate funds
are available to cover amounts payable in other periods.

 (g) In amending subsection (d), it is the intent of the legislature to clarify existing authority
of the commission to assess a late payment fee. Nothing in subsection (d) shall be construed
as granting new or additional authority to the commission.'';

      HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION No. 5078--



By Representatives Carmody, Garner, O'Neal, Pauls


A  PROPOSITION to amend section 6 of article 3 of the constitution of the
state of Kansas, relating to nonpartisan election of district judges.



      Be it resolved by the Legislature of the State of Kansas, two-thirds of the members elected
      (or appointed) and qualified to the House of Representatives and two-thirds of the mem-
      bers elected (or appointed) and qualified to the Senate concurring therein:

              Section  1. The following proposition to amend the constitution of the state of Kansas
shall be submitted to the qualified electors of the state for their approval or rejection: Section
6 of article 3 of the constitution of the state of Kansas is hereby amended to read as follows:

            ``§  6. District courts. (a) The state shall be divided into judicial districts as
      provided by law. Each judicial district shall have at least one district judge. The term
      of office of each judge of the district court shall be four years. District court shall
      be held at such times and places as may be provided by law. The district judges shall
      be elected by the electors of the respective judicial districts unless the electors of a
      judicial district have adopted and not subsequently rejected a method of nonpartisan
      selection. The legislature shall provide a method of nonpartisan selection of district
      judges and for the manner of submission and resubmission thereof to the electors
      of a judicial district. A nonpartisan method of selection of district judges may be
      adopted, and once adopted may be rejected, only by a majority of electors of a judicial
      district voting on the question at an election in which the proposition is submitted
      in a nonpartisan election. Whenever a vacancy occurs in the office of district judge,
      it shall be filled by appointment by the governor until the next general election that
     
      occurs more than thirty days after such vacancy, or as may be provided by such
      nonpartisan method of selection. The legislature shall provide a method of funding
      the nonpartisan campaign for the district judge's election.

      (b) The district courts shall have such jurisdiction in their respective districts as may
be provided by law.

      (c) The legislature shall provide for clerks of the district courts.

      (d) Provision may be made by law for judges pro tem of the district court.

      (e) The supreme court or any justice thereof shall have the power to assign judges of
district courts temporarily to other districts.

      (f) The supreme court may assign a district judge to serve temporarily on the supreme
court.''

      Sec.  2. The following statement shall be printed on the ballot with the amendment as
a whole:

      ``Explanatory statement. The purpose of this amendment is to provide for the nonpar-
            tisan election of all district judges. It removes the provision relating to selection of
            district judges. The proposition requires the legislature to provide a method of fund-
            ing the nonpartisan campaign.

            ``A vote for this proposition would eliminate the selection of district judges and provide
            for the nonpartisan election of all district judges. The legislature would be required
            to provide a method of funding for the nonpartisan campaign.

            ``A vote against this proposition would continue in effect the current law which provides
            for the election of district judges, except where a nonpartisan selection of district
            judges has been adopted.''

            Sec.  3. This resolution, if approved by two-thirds of the members elected (or ap-
      pointed) and qualified to the House of Representatives, and two-thirds of the members
      elected (or appointed) and qualified to the Senate shall be entered on the journals,
      together with the yeas and nays. The secretary of state shall cause this resolution to be
      published as provided by law and shall cause the proposed amendment to be submitted
      to the electors of the state at the general election in November in the year 2000 unless
      a special election is called at a sooner date by concurrent resolution of the legislature,
      in which case it shall be submitted to the electors of the state at the special election.
