Book excerpt: "You advise that Governor Docking has furnished three executive reorganization orders to the Legislature ... and that these orders were "received at approximately 5:30 o'clock P.M., after the Senate and the House adjourned, on the 30th day after convening. ... The orders were in fact presented to employees of the House and Senate who remained on duty for the purpose of receiving them. Article I, ʹ 6 of the Kansas Constitution requires the Governor to transmit such orders "to the legislature within the first thirty calendar days of any regular session." ... Nothing in this language requires, in our view, that an order transmitted on the thirtieth calendar day of any regular session be transmitted while either the House of Representatives or the Senate remains in session on that day. It is sufficient, in our view, if the order is transmitted prior to 12:00 P.M. on the thirtieth day, and accepted by officers or employees of the Legislature prior to that time."
