QUESTIONS PRESENTED

1. Is the Kansas Act providing for long term, indefi-
nite confinement of sexually violent predators, K.S.A. 59-
29a01 et seqg., even though labeled a civil proceeding, so
punitive either in purpose or effect as to require that it
must be considered criminal?

2. Does the Kansas Sexually Violent Predator Act
violate the constitutional prohibition against ex post facto
laws?

3. Does the Kansas sexually violent predator act vio-
late the constitutional prohibition against double jeopardy?
