Notes
Kansas Reflector Aug. 24, 2021: the district court held the overhauled KEMA 'deprived relevant governmental units of due process while also violating the constitutional separation of powers'; the Chief Justice's one-page order stayed that judgment at the Attorney General's request, restoring SB 40's restrictions; the case arose from parents' challenge to the Shawnee Mission School District mask policy; Johnson County Post Sept. 7, 2021: M.M.C. suit against the county school order assigned to Judge Hauber
