Book excerpt: Section 10 of 1982 Senate Bill No. 699 establishes a state alcohol and drug safety action program, which is funded through the assessment of an $85 fine against any person who is convicted of, pleads n̲o̲l̲o̲ c̲o̲n̲t̲e̲n̲d̲e̲r̲e̲ to, or participates in, a diversion program stemming from a violation of K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567. As subsection (n) of the statute (contained in Section 5 of the bill) provides that a city ordinance on this subject must contain minimum penalties equal to those of the statute, the fee must be assessed against the above three groups of persons in municipal court, as well as in district court, proceedings. While a city attorney is required to establish procedures and guidelines for a diversion program under Sections 11 through 18 of the bill, he or she is not required to offer diversion to any violator. However, should the prosecutor so elect, the procedures and guidelines set forth therein must be followed. A person who performs community service work, either as a result of such a diversion program or as a condition of a sentence, is an employee of the city for the purposes of the Tort Claims Act, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 75-6101 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., creating the potential for tort lability for damages caused by the individual's negligent or wrongful acts or omissions. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567, K.S.A. 22-2908, both as amended by 1982 Senate Bill No. 699, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 75-6101, 75-6102, 75-6103, 75-6104, 1982 Senate Bill No. 699.
