Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 49, December 5, 2024

Section 94-5-23 - Evidence

(a) Unless otherwise limited by a specific statutory or regulatory provision, the presentation of evidence shall be governed by K.S.A. 60-401 et seq., and amendments thereto, and by K.S.A. 77-524, and amendments thereto.

(b) Evidence may be received in writing instead of through oral presentation, in accordance with K.S.A. 77-524(d) and amendments thereto. However, the filing of a document shall not signify its receipt into evidence. Only those documents that have been received into evidence shall be considered as evidence in the official record.

(c) Whenever an evidentiary objection is made, the grounds relied upon shall be stated briefly when the evidence is offered. Any evidentiary objection may be ruled upon by the court, or the objection may be taken under advisement by the court. Evidence may be received by the court, subject to a motion to strike at the conclusion of the hearing.

(d) The discontinuation of the presentation of evidence may be ordered by the court upon its own motion if the evidence is cumulative, irrelevant, or otherwise objectionable.
