Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This is an original action in quo warranto filed in this court on the petition of the Attorney General of Kansas, to oust the Director of Property Valuation from valuing and assessing oil and gas leases and properties in accordance with K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 79-331 as enacted by the 1979 Legislature. The Attorney General contends the statute, as amended in 1979, is unconstitutional. This action was brought by the State on the relation of the Attorney General pursuant to Article 3, Section 3 of the Kansas Constitution and K.S.A. 60-1202. This court has recognized on several occasions that in a proper case an original action in quo warranto is an appropriate procedure to question the constitutionality of a statute. See State ex rel. Tomasic v. Kansas City, Kansas Port Authority, 230 Kan. 404, 636 P.2d 760 (1981); State ex rel. Stephan v. Carlin, 229 Kan. 665, 630 P.2d 709 (1981); State, ex rel., v. Dwyer, 204 Kan. 3, 460 P.2d 507 (1969). The matter has been submitted to this court on an agreed statement of facts and we find the respondent's attack upon the standing of the attorney general to bring this action to be without merit. The court has determined that it will take jurisdiction of the controversy.
