    Schmidt asks Kansas Supreme Court to hold DUI decisions

    TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt is asking the state Supreme Court to delay formally issuing rulings on drunken-driving laws.

    The court ruled last week that a law punishing drivers who refuse a breath test is unconstitutional.

    Schmidt said Friday that the U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to decide a case from other states that present the same constitutional issues as the Kansas case. A decision is expected by June.

    He said in a news release the national case would either confirm or call into question the Kansas ruling, so it is a better use of everyone’s time to delay issuing the state rulings.

    Schmidt noted if the Kansas court declines his request, the state could appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, which would delay the issuing of the state decisions.
