---|
3347 | 3347 | | three months after the child is found. |
---|
3348 | 3348 | | (e) If a person is convicted of a felony in which sexual intercourse |
---|
3349 | 3349 | | occurred, or if a juvenile is adjudicated a juvenile offender because of an |
---|
3350 | 3350 | | act which, if committed by an adult, would be a felony in which sexual |
---|
3351 | 3351 | | intercourse occurred, and as a result of the sexual intercourse, a child is |
---|
3352 | 3352 | | conceived, a finding of unfitness may be made. |
---|
3353 | 3353 | | (f) The existence of any one of the above factors standing alone may, |
---|
3354 | 3354 | | but does not necessarily, establish grounds for termination of parental |
---|
3355 | 3355 | | rights. |
---|
3356 | 3356 | | (g) (1) If the court makes a finding of unfitness, the court shall |
---|
3357 | 3357 | | consider whether termination of parental rights as requested in the petition |
---|
3358 | 3358 | | or motion is in the best interests of the child. In making the determination, |
---|
3359 | 3359 | | the court shall give primary consideration to the physical, mental and |
---|
3360 | 3360 | | emotional health of the child. If the physical, mental or emotional needs of |
---|
3361 | 3361 | | the child would best be served by termination of parental rights, the court |
---|
3362 | 3362 | | shall so order. A termination of parental rights under the code shall not |
---|
3363 | 3363 | | terminate the right of a child to inherit from or through a parent. Upon |
---|
3364 | 3364 | | such termination all rights of the parent to such child, including, such |
---|
3365 | 3365 | | parent's right to inherit from or through such child, shall cease. |
---|
3366 | 3366 | | (2) If the court terminates parental rights, the court may authorize |
---|
3367 | 3367 | | adoption pursuant to K.S.A. 38-2270, and amendments thereto, |
---|
3368 | 3368 | | appointment of a permanent custodian pursuant to K.S.A. 38-2272, and |
---|
3369 | 3369 | | amendments thereto, or continued permanency planning. |
---|
3370 | 3370 | | (3) If the court does not terminate parental rights, the court may |
---|
3371 | 3371 | | authorize appointment of a permanent custodian pursuant to K.S.A. 38- |
---|
3372 | 3372 | | 2272, and amendments thereto, or continued permanency planning. |
---|
3373 | 3373 | | (h) If a parent is convicted of an offense as provided in K.S.A. 38- |
---|
3374 | 3374 | | 2271(a)(7), and amendments thereto, or is adjudicated a juvenile offender |
---|
3375 | 3375 | | because of an act which if committed by an adult would be an offense as |
---|
3376 | 3376 | | provided in K.S.A. 38-2271(a)(7), and amendments thereto, and if the |
---|
3377 | 3377 | | victim was the other parent of a child, the court may disregard such |
---|
3378 | 3378 | | convicted or adjudicated parent's opinions or wishes in regard to the |
---|
3379 | 3379 | | placement of such child. |
---|
3380 | 3380 | | (i) A record shall be made of the proceedings. |
---|
3381 | 3381 | | (j) When adoption, proceedings to appoint a permanent custodian or |
---|
3382 | 3382 | | continued permanency planning has been authorized, the person or agency |
---|
3383 | 3383 | | awarded custody of the child shall within 30 days submit a written plan for |
---|
3384 | 3384 | | permanent placement which shall include measurable objectives and time |
---|
3385 | 3385 | | schedules. |

3617 | 3617 | | (D) the worker voluntarily agrees to submit to a chemical test for |
---|
3618 | 3618 | | drugs or alcohol following any accident or injury; or |
---|
3619 | 3619 | | (E) as a result of federal or state law or a federal or state rule or |
---|
3620 | 3620 | | regulation having the force and effect of law requiring a post-injury testing |
---|
3621 | 3621 | | program and such required program was properly implemented at the time |

3622 | 3622 | | of testing. |
---|
3623 | 3623 | | (3) Notwithstanding subsection (b)(2), the results of a chemical test |
---|
3624 | 3624 | | performed on a sample collected by an employer shall not be admissible |
---|
3625 | 3625 | | evidence to prove impairment unless the following conditions are met: |
---|
3626 | 3626 | | (A) The test sample was collected within a reasonable time following |
---|
3627 | 3627 | | the accident or injury; |

3628 | 3628 | | (B) the collecting and labeling of the test sample was performed by or |
---|
3629 | 3629 | | under the supervision of a licensed health care professional; |
---|
3630 | 3630 | | (C) the test was performed by a laboratory approved by the United |
---|
3631 | 3631 | | States department of health and human services or licensed by the |
---|
3632 | 3632 | | department of health and environment, except that a blood sample may be |
---|
3633 | 3633 | | tested for alcohol content by a laboratory commonly used for that purpose |
---|
3634 | 3634 | | by state law enforcement agencies; |
---|
3635 | 3635 | | (D) the test was confirmed by gas chromatography-mass |
---|
3636 | 3636 | | spectroscopy or other comparably reliable analytical method, except that |
---|
3637 | 3637 | | no such confirmation is required for a blood alcohol sample; |
---|
3638 | 3638 | | (E) the foundation evidence must establish, beyond a reasonable |
---|
3639 | 3639 | | doubt, that the test results were from the sample taken from the employee; |
---|
3640 | 3640 | | and |
---|
3641 | 3641 | | (F) a split sample sufficient for testing shall be retained and made |
---|
3642 | 3642 | | available to the employee within 48 hours of a positive test. |
---|
3643 | 3643 | | (c) (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), compensation shall not |
---|
3644 | 3644 | | be paid in case of coronary or coronary artery disease or cerebrovascular |
---|
3645 | 3645 | | injury unless it is shown that the exertion of the work necessary to |
---|
3646 | 3646 | | precipitate the disability was more than the employee's usual work in the |
---|
3647 | 3647 | | course of the employee's regular employment. |
---|
3648 | 3648 | | (2) For events occurring on or after July 1, 2014, in the case of a |
---|
3649 | 3649 | | firefighter as defined by K.S.A. 40-1709(b)(1), and amendments thereto, |
---|
3650 | 3650 | | or a law enforcement officer as defined by K.S.A. 74-5602, and |
---|
3651 | 3651 | | amendments thereto, coronary or coronary artery disease or |
---|
3652 | 3652 | | cerebrovascular injury shall be compensable if: |
---|
3653 | 3653 | | (A) The injury can be identified as caused by a specific event |
---|
3654 | 3654 | | occurring in the course and scope of employment; |
---|
3655 | 3655 | | (B) the coronary or cerebrovascular injury occurred within 24 hours |

3703 | 3703 | | construction design professional who is retained to perform professional |

3704 | 3704 | | services on a construction project or any employee of a construction |
---|
3705 | 3705 | | design professional who is assisting or representing the construction |
---|
3706 | 3706 | | design professional in the performance of professional services on the site |
---|
3707 | 3707 | | of the construction project, shall be liable for any injury resulting from the |
---|
3708 | 3708 | | employer's failure to comply with safety standards on the construction |
---|
3709 | 3709 | | project for which compensation is recoverable under the workers |
---|
3710 | 3710 | | compensation act, unless responsibility for safety practices is specifically |
---|
3711 | 3711 | | assumed by contract. The immunity provided by this subsection to any |

3712 | 3712 | | construction design professional shall not apply to the negligent |
---|
3713 | 3713 | | preparation of design plans or specifications. |
---|
3714 | 3714 | | (e) An award of compensation for permanent partial impairment, |
---|
3715 | 3715 | | work disability, or permanent total disability shall be reduced by the |
---|
3716 | 3716 | | amount of functional impairment determined to be preexisting. Any such |
---|
3717 | 3717 | | reduction shall not apply to temporary total disability, nor shall it apply to |
---|
3718 | 3718 | | compensation for medical treatment. |
---|
3719 | 3719 | | (1) Where workers compensation benefits have previously been |
---|
3720 | 3720 | | awarded through settlement or judicial or administrative determination in |
---|
3721 | 3721 | | Kansas, the percentage basis of the prior settlement or award shall |
---|
3722 | 3722 | | conclusively establish the amount of functional impairment determined to |
---|
3723 | 3723 | | be preexisting. Where workers compensation benefits have not previously |
---|
3724 | 3724 | | been awarded through settlement or judicial or administrative |
---|
3725 | 3725 | | determination in Kansas, the amount of preexisting functional impairment |
---|
3726 | 3726 | | shall be established by competent evidence. |
---|
3727 | 3727 | | (2) In all cases, the applicable reduction shall be calculated as |
---|
3728 | 3728 | | follows: |
---|
3729 | 3729 | | (A) If the preexisting impairment is the result of injury sustained |
---|
3730 | 3730 | | while working for the employer against whom workers compensation |
---|
3731 | 3731 | | benefits are currently being sought, any award of compensation shall be |
---|
3732 | 3732 | | reduced by the current dollar value attributable under the workers |
---|
3733 | 3733 | | compensation act to the percentage of functional impairment determined to |
---|
3734 | 3734 | | be preexisting. The "current dollar value" shall be calculated by |
---|
3735 | 3735 | | multiplying the percentage of preexisting impairment by the compensation |
---|
3736 | 3736 | | rate in effect on the date of the accident or injury against which the |
---|
3737 | 3737 | | reduction will be applied. |
---|
3738 | 3738 | | (B) In all other cases, the employer against whom benefits are |
---|
3739 | 3739 | | currently being sought shall be entitled to a credit for the percentage of |
---|
3740 | 3740 | | preexisting impairment. |
---|
3741 | 3741 | | (f) If the employee receives, whether periodically or by lump sum, |
---|
3742 | 3742 | | retirement benefits under the federal social security act or retirement |
---|
3743 | 3743 | | benefits from any other retirement system, program, policy or plan which |
---|
3744 | 3744 | | is provided by the employer against which the claim is being made, any |

3788 | 3788 | | compensation benefit payments which the employee is eligible to receive |

---|
3791 | 3791 | | benefits, less any portion of any such retirement benefit, other than |

3792 | 3792 | | retirement benefits under the federal social security act, that is attributable |
---|
3793 | 3793 | | to payments or contributions made by the employee, but in no event shall |

3794 | 3794 | | the workers compensation benefit be less than the workers compensation |

3795 | 3795 | | benefit payable for the employee's percentage of functional impairment. |
---|
3796 | 3796 | | Where the employee elects to take retirement benefits in a lump sum, the |

3797 | 3797 | | lump sum payment shall be amortized at the rate of 4% per year over the |
