Book excerpt: K.S.A. 12-1019 authorizes a petition seeking to bring to an election a question regarding a change in the form of government for a city. K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 25-3601, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 194, section 2, establishes in part the requirements for such petition. The amendment adopted in L. 1992, ch. 194, section 2 is merely procedural in nature, and therefore may be applied retrospectively to petitions being circulated prior to April 30, 1992, the effective date of the amendment. A petition drafted on March 31, 1992, should, prior to its circulation, be submitted to the county attorney for an opinion regarding the legality of the form of the question unless such retrospective application of the requirement results in a manifest injustice.
