Text: On April 7, 1995, the Kansas Legislature enacted Senate Bill 360, which amended K.S.A. 1994 Supp. 21-4603d(e). The amended section reads: (e) The secretary of corrections is authorized to make direct placement to the Labette correctional conservation camp of an inmate sentenced to the secretary's custody if the inmate: (1) Has been sentenced to the secretary for a probation revocation or as a departure from the presumptive nonimprisonment grid block of either sentencing grid; and (2) otherwise meets admission criteria of the camp. If the inmate successfully completes the 180 day conservation camp program, the secretary of corrections shall report such completion to the sentencing court and the county or district attorney. The inmate shall then be assigned by the court to 180 days of follow-up supervision conducted by the appropriate community corrections services program. The court may also order that supervision continue thereafter for the length of time authorized by K.S.A. 21-4611 and amendments thereto. L. 1995, ch. 121, § 1. The amendment was to take effect and be in force after publication in the Kansas Register. L. 1995, ch. 121, § 7. The amendment was published and became effective on April 20, 1995. 14 Kan. Reg. 541 (1995). On May 17, 1995, the Kansas Legislature enacted Senate Bill 222, amending K.S.A. 1994 Supp. 21-4603d, as it was amended by Senate Bill 360. L. 1995, ch. 257, § 1. This amendment did not change the language of section (e) of the previous April enactment but did change other provisions of K.S.A. 1994 Supp. 21-4603d concerning restitution. L. 1995, ch. 257, § 1. The amendment was to take effect and be in force after publication in the statute book, July 1, 1995. First, we note that section (e) of Chapter 121 of Laws of 1995, which became effective April 20, 1995, governs Moody's crimes prosecuted in 95 CR 1451, committed on June 10, 1995. Chapter 257 of Laws of 1995, which became effective July 1, 1995, governs Moody's crimes committed on December 8, 1995, and prosecuted in Case No. 96 CR 1700. The district court's ruling to the contrary in 95 CR 1451 is incorrect.
