Synopsis: Asset forfeiture funds credited to a special prosecutor’s trust fund pursuant to K.S.A. 2017 Supp. 60-4117(c)(3)(A) may be used to pay for salaries only if the county or district attorney or other governmental agency’s attorney determines the expenditure is for an appropriate and additional law enforcement and prosecutorial purpose, and the expenditure is supplemental to, but does not supplant, normal operating expenses. However, if such salary subsequently becomes a "normal operating expenditure," then such salary shall not be paid from the special prosecutor’s trust fund. Cited herein: K.S.A. 60-4102; K.S.A. 2017 Supp. 60-4107; 60-4117; K.S.A. 1993 Supp. 65-4173.
