Revisor's Note:
The numbering of the sections in this chapter retains the numbering system of the Uniform Consumer Credit Code by prefixing "16a-" at the beginning of each section number. Sections of the Kansas code which correspond to the uniform act are designated by the letters "UCCC" in parentheses after the section number.
The Kansas Comments following sections of this uniform code were originally prepared in 1973 by Barkley Clark, who at that time was the Associate Dean and Professor of Law at the University of Kansas School of Law and who also served as consultant to the committees considering the proposed legislation. Some of the Comments, which are in the nature of Revisor's Notes, are based, in part, on comments promulgated by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws in their 1968 Official Text version of the Code. They have also been edited by the office of Revisor of Statutes, primarily to reflect current Kansas statutory references. The Kansas Comments were revised and updated in 1990 by Paul B. Rasor, former Professor of Law at Washburn University School of Law. The 1995 version of the Kansas Comments were prepared by Barkley Clark and Mark Hargrave, both of whom practice with the law firm Shook, Hardy & Bacon P.C. in Kansas City, Missouri. From 1996 to 2000, the Kansas comments were revised and updated annually by Shook, Hardy & Bacon L.L.P. There have been no revisions to the comments since 2000.
