Statute 48-2402a: (KCMJ Art. 19) Jurisdiction of special courts-martial.
Special courts-martial have jurisdiction to try persons
subject to this code for any offense made punishable by this code. Special
courts-martial may, under such limitations as the governor may prescribe,
adjudge any punishment not forbidden by the code, except dishonorable
discharge, dismissal, confinement for more than three months or forfeiture
of pay for more than three months. A bad-conduct discharge may not be
adjudged unless a complete record of the proceedings and verbatim testimony
has been made, counsel pursuant to
K.S.A. 48-2505 and amendments thereto
was detailed to represent the accused and a military judge was detailed to
the trial, except in cases in which a military judge was not detailed, the
convening authority shall make a detailed written statement, to be appended
to the record, stating the reasons a military judge could not be detailed.
