to national conference of commissioners on uniform state laws; membership;
compensation, expenses and allowances.
There is hereby established an advisory committee to the Kansas
commission on interstate cooperation. Such committee shall be composed
of five members. Three of such members shall be members of the Kansas bar
to be appointed by the commission
with the advice of the president of the bar association of the state of
Kansas and the incumbency of each such member of the committee shall extend
until the first day of February of the odd-numbered year following appointment
and thereafter until a successor is
appointed. The other two members shall be the chairpersons of the house
and senate standing committees on judiciary, except that each such chairperson
may appoint another member of the committee on judiciary of the same house
who is an attorney to serve as a member in lieu of such chairperson for
such member's then current term as a legislator. The members of such committee
shall be the official
representatives or delegates of the state of Kansas to the national
conference of commissioners on uniform state laws. Such committee shall
account to and advise with the Kansas commission on interstate
cooperation and it shall be its duty to investigate and consider the
advisability or uniformity of the laws of the several states and to make
recommendations on all subjects where uniformity may be desirable and
practical. Such committee shall report to the Kansas commission on
interstate cooperation from time to time on its activities and make such
recommendations as it deems advisable for appropriate legislation.
Members of the committee shall be paid compensation and travel expenses
and subsistence expenses or allowances for attendance at meetings of the
committee as authorized by K.S.A. 75-3212. Any person who by
reason of membership on such committee has been accredited by the
national conference of commissioners on uniform state laws as a life
member of that organization shall be an associate member of the
committee and shall receive the same travel expenses and subsistence
expenses for attendance at meetings as regular members of the committee,
but shall receive no per diem compensation. Whenever any regular member
of the committee shall be so accredited by the national conference of
commissioners on uniform state laws, such member shall thereupon become an
associate member and a vacancy shall exist in the regular membership of
the committee. Such vacancy shall be filled by appointment by the
commission with the advice of the president of the bar association of
the state of Kansas. All amounts authorized under this section shall be
paid by the Kansas commission on interstate cooperation.
