Legality of Using Criminal Law to Enforce Emergency Orders is Under Review

 

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt announced Monday that their office has been asked for its formal legal opinion on whether a state law that authorizes criminal prosecution of residents in Kansas who violate emergency orders issued by Governor Laura Kelly is constitutional and enforceable.

 

Schmidt says he encourages all Kansas residents to follow the recommendations of public health professionals to help prevent the spread of the Coronavirus as the economy slowly opens back up.

 

They have agreed to conduct that legal review.
