12-3508. Lump-sum payment of state liability; exception; boards not
to certify assessment to county clerk; protest and negotiation of assessments.
(a) All special assessments for which the state has liability shall be
paid in one lump sum pursuant to appropriation therefor by the legislature
unless a state agency, with the approval of the secretary of administration,
elects to pay any such assessment from any available current funds of the agency.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the share of
cost of any special assessment applicable to the state of Kansas shall not
be certified to the county clerk by any board for levy of the special
assessment, but in lieu thereof the amount of such liability shall be
determined in dollars by the board, and upon making such determination the
board shall promptly notify the secretary of such amount. Nothing in this
section shall be construed to limit the authority of duly designated
representatives of the state from negotiating or appearing for the state in
protest of any assessment or the amount thereof.
(b) The secretary of administration may approve the payment of special
assessments, including charges levied pursuant to K.S.A. 19-2751 even though
the board levying the same has failed: (1) To notify the secretary of the
commencement of proceedings as required by K.S.A. 12-3504; or
(2) to submit all information required by regulations adopted by the secretary
pursuant to K.S.A. 12-3504.
