The Kansas Supreme Court earlier this week issued administrative rules for Kansans who want to sue over a COVID-19 order under newly passed law Senate Bill 40. The new emergency rules took into account that some may not be represented by an attorney, a news release said. But those who fail to follow the rules in requesting a court hearing shouldn’t be rejected and be given opportunity to comply. SB 40 lets any person who is aggrieved by a COVID-19 order or restriction to bring to court a request to get relief from the order. Such a hearing would have to be held within 72 hours and a decision be made within a week after that. In cases like this, the government would have to prove the high standard that the order was narrowly tailored and was the least restrictive means; otherwise, relief is granted.
