Senator tries to stop 'railroading' of bill
By United Press International
TOPEKA — A Johnson County lawmaker, angered over attempts to "railroad" through the Legislature a bill that corrects a technical error in the new open records law, says the bill must be stopped in its current form.
Sen. Jan Meyers, R-Overland Park,
said yesterday that she was outraged
over attempts to rush the revised bill
through the House and Senate and to
Gov. John Carlin's desk for signing.
With no discussion, the House last week
overwhelmingly approved the measure
and sent it to the Senate.
SEN. MEYERS SAID she conceded that the open records bill signed last year by Carlin was not the same measure approved by the 1983 Legislature, because of a clerical error that omitted 17 words. Fearing constituents, the legislators set out early this year to correct the bill, which took effect Jan 1.
The Senate Governmental Organization Committee yesterday sent the bill to the full Senate without recommendation after Sen. Meyers persuaded members to hear testimony from Revenue Secretary Harley Duncan against the corrective statement in the measure.
The 17 words say that with the exception of the state Motor Vehicle
Division in the Department of Revenue, public records open to inspection may not be used or copied for commercial purposes — such as making mailing lists. With the words now reinserted in the bill, driver's license records and others maintained by the motor vehicle department could be sold for commercial purposes.
"I have real strong reservations about forcing people to submit records and then turn around and offering them for sale," said Sen. Meyers.
"It IS ABSOLUTELY essential that everybody has an understanding of this bill." she said "If we pass it as we do, it will be just as we the opposite of what we intended."
The problem Sen. Meyers faces this week is convincing a majority of her colleagues in the upper chamber to 'slow down and think what we're
Sen. Meyers said that last year the Legislature was under the impression that a separate state law prohibited copying motor vehicle records for commercial purposes.
Sen. Meyers wants the Legislature to reconsider its last action year, this time leaving out the 17 words intentionally. But legislative leaders have made it clear they do not want lawmakers to try to change the intent of the bill at this point. They say substantive changes will be entertained later.
Wife-abuse law faces changes
From Staff and Wire Reports
TOPEKA — State Rep. Wanda Fulner said yesterday she planned to introduce a bill that would allow police to check on women who were ill, if the woman did not press charges.
Fuller, R-Wichita, said current law prevented the arrest of a husband and wife.
The change in the law would not require an officer to arrest the husband, she said, even though some states have made it a requirement.
The proposed law says an officer may
arrest a person who has "intentionally inflicted personal injury to another
Lawyer Rep. Betty Jo Charlton, D-
Lawrence, said she had taken the
bill she expected to pay.
Charlton and Fuller were among the active supporters of a successful measure last year that made it possible for the group to have rape charges against their spouses.
Charlton also said the bill would probably have a better chance of passing with the words 'may arrest' or 'may kill.' It is their own discretion in making arrests.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Ray Verbanic, middle, flanked by his wife and attorney, leaves the courthouse after being charged with attempted second-degree murder. Verbanic, who was released Monday after posting $2,500 bond, said he shot and killed a man in self-defense after the man attempted to rob his liquor store.
KCK murder suspect is free on bond
By United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A businessman charged with the attempted second-degree murder of a man trying to rob his lieutenant at $2,800. The suspect said yesterday.
The Wyandotte County district attorney's office charged Ray Verbanic, 38, with second-degree murder after a recommendation from a coroner's coroner.
Verbanic appeared before a Wyndottie County associate judge and was released after posting bond. If convict was sentenced to 3 to 20 years in jail and a $5,000 fee
THE CORONER'S JURY determined that Verbanic had intended to kill 21-year-old Nathaniel Bell, who police said was shot from behind eight times after allegedly attempting to rob
Bell also was shot in the neck, shoulder, spine, battock and thigh. Unhackable jacket.
Verbanic's liquor store.
Alan Hancock, county coroner, testified that Bell died at the scene from an accident.
Verbanic testified that three men entered his store and bought beer Jan. 3, then two of them returned about 5 minutes later to buy a half-pint of wine.
Although shots fired inside the store were in legitimate self-defense, the jury concluded, Verbanic's actions in letting lot warranted the filing of charges.
He told the jury that while he was ringing up the sale, Bell slapped a paper bag down on the counter and demanded money. The other man, stationed at the door, drew a gun and Bell stuck his hand under his coat as if
He said both men threatened to kill him if he did not cooperate.
he had a weapon also, Verbanic said.
THE STORE OWNER said he gave them money from the register then deliberately dropped some money on the floor. While both men were distracted, Verbanic said he grabbed a caliber revolver and started shooting.
He said he emptied the revolver then grabbed an automatic pistol and began firing as he ran after Bell. Verbanic said that even during the chase, the victim had his hand inside his pocket as if he was armed.
Police said Bell had no gun and that no one else was seen running from the building.
and, according to witnesses who testified, fell was not one of three men in the room.
