Book excerpt: Section 10 of L. 1982, ch. 144 establishes a state alcohol and drug safety action program, which is funded through an $85 assessment against any person who is convicted of, pleads n̲o̲l̲o̲ c̲o̲n̲t̲e̲n̲d̲e̲r̲e̲ to, or participates in, a diversion program stemming from a violation of K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567 (as amended by L. 1982, ch. 144, 55). As subsection (n) of the statute (contained in Section 5) provides that a city ordinance on this subject must contain minimum penalties equal to those of the statute, the fee must be assessed against the above three groups of persons in municipal court, as well as in district court, proceedings. While K.S.A. 12-4112 prohibits the assessment of costs in municipal court cases, this general prohibition has been repealed by implication insofar as the specific assessment imposed by the 1982 act is concerned. Attorney General Opinion No. 78-237 is affirmed. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567 (as amended by L. 1982, ch. 144, section 5), K.S.A. 12-4112, L. 1978, ch. 323.
