Book excerpt: Pursuant to K.S.A. 8-237 the chief law enforcement officer of a local unit of government can only recommend to the division of vehicles if an applicant should be issued a driver's license. The final decision rests with the division of vehicles. Cities and counties are not able to use their home rule powers to deny licenses to persons under the age of 16 years if the statute is uniformly applicable and does not grant such authority. Allowing the raising of the driving age to 16 years, in some counties but not others, will not violate an individual's constitutional right to equal protection. Cited herein: K.S.A. 8-237, Kan. Const., Art. 12, section 5.
