Book excerpt: K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 75-5203 provides two alternative criteria for determining the eligibility of a person to be appointed by the Governor as Secretary of Corrections, and these criteria are separate and distinct from one another. That is, the requirement that the person so appointed has had at least five years' experience in the field of corrections is alternative to and separate and distinct from the provision establishing the eligibility of a person who has had at least five years' experience as an executive officer in the administration of federal or state penal or correctional institutions. Thus, Michael A. Barbara satisfies the eligibility requirements of this statute, since the information provided by the Governor's office regarding Mr. Barbara's professional experience indicates that he has more than five years' experience in the field of corrections.
