Attorney General Opinion No. 1980-53
Jan 1, 1980
The language of K.S.A. 41-2614 is plain and unambiguous in prescribing only the hours during which alcoholic liquor may be served, mixed or consumed on the premises of a private club. Neither this nor any other statute conveys a legislative intent and purpose that a private club be limited as to the times it may provide other lawful services to its members and their guests. Therefore, an administrative policy that prescribes general closing hours for private clubs, whether embodied in administrative rules and regulations or otherwise, is without legal force and effect.

In determining whether an organization that conducts a dance where there is "free beer" distributed must acquire a cereal malt beverage license, a case-by-case determination of the acquisition of the beer to be distributed must be made. When the proceeds derived from the cover charge go to pay for the beer, irrespective of the professed "free beer," then a license shall issue. When no part of the proceeds inure to the payment of the beer, then truly distributed "free," no license need issue.

A bylaw of a "public employee organization," which bylaw requires continuous membership for the preceding year as a prerequisite to eligibility for "legal representation," does not violate the requirement of "fair and equal treatment of all members" set forth in subsection (h) of K.S.A. 75-4327.
