Kansas AG Opinions — 1997

K.S.A 12-3903, as it existed in 1981, authorized the Board of Shawnee County Commissioners to transfer the operation and responsibility for the Shawnee County Jail from the Sha~nee County Sheriff to the Shawnee County Department of Corrections without an election. Consequently, the Shawnee County Sheriff is not liable for any negligent or wrongful acts that may arise from the operation of the Shawnee County Jail.
