Book excerpt: K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 41-311(a)(7) provides that no person shall be eligible to obtain an intoxicating liquor license from the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division if he or she has been convicted of "being a proprietor of a gambling house, pandering or any other crime opposed to decency and morality." When first used in 1949 (the year the statute was enacted), the reference to crimes opposed to decency and morality identified those offenses set forth in Chapter 21, Article 9 of the General Statutes of Kansas. Although the statutes detailing these offenses were redistributed in 1970 when the Kansas Criminal Code became effective, for any offense existing in 1949 it is possible to determine whether such crime was then considered to be against decency and morality. If so, the intent of the legislature in including such language in the provisions of K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 41-311(a)(7) should continue to be controlling.
