Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by Heart Ministries, Inc. and William and Carol Cowell appeal from the issuance of a permanent injunction against them by the trial court. The propriety of that order is attacked on numerous grounds, one of which we believe to be determinative: whether the licensing requirement of K.S.A. 1979 Supp. 65-501 and the fee requirements of K.S.A. 1979 Supp. 65-505 violate appellants' rights under the free exercise clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The State, through the county attorney of Reno County, brought this action in June, 1977, praying for an injunction prohibiting the defendants, Heart Ministries and the Reverend and Mrs. Cowell, from operating, maintaining, or holding themselves out to the public as operating or maintaining a maternity hospital, a home, a boarding home, or a placement agency for juveniles under the age of 16, until defendants obtain a state license for such operations. The petition also sought an injunction prohibiting defendants from bringing children under the age of 18 into Kansas for placement in foster care in this state until defendants comply with the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children, K.S.A. 1979 Supp. 38-1202.
