TOPEKA — Republican leaders of the House Education Committee have pre-filed a bill that would impose a two cent increase in the state sales tax, with half the revenue to go directly to local governments.

Reps. Don Crumbbaker, R-Brewster, and Denise Apt, R-Iola, chairman and vice chairwoman of the committee, proposed the phased-in tax hike for the 1986 legislative session to provide increased state aid to education and to help pay local costs of statewide reappraisal. Current estimates of state revenues for the next two years indicate the state must cut spending drastically or increase taxes, or both, to stay in the black. The bill would increase the current 3 percent sales tax by 1.5 percent on July 1, 1986.
Prosecution urged in injury DUI cases
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — No matter how slight injuries are in an alcohol-related traffic accident, a person charged with drunken driving afterward should not be allowed to enter a rehabilitation program in lieu of prosecution, Attorney General Robert T. Stephan said yesterday.
In a non-binding legal opinion, Stephan said a 1985 law did not say how badly someone had to be injured for the provisions to apply, but forbade the so-called diversion agreements for people charged with driving under the influence of alcohol when they were involved in an injury accident.
However, Stephan said in the opinion, requested by Overland Park City Attorney Phillip L. Harris, that
other Kansas automobile-related laws used broad definitions to describe what was considered an injury.
"Strictly applying these definitions . . . would automatically preclude diversion in any case where the defendant or other party received bodily harm, no matter how slight or severe," the opinion said.
The Kansas Legislature intended to limit prosecutors' powers to offer the diversion programs when the revised DUI law was passed last spring, according to the opinion prepared by Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Southard.
