KANSAS COMMENT, 1996
Since Article 7 deals with the documents, regulatory legislation is not affected. In addition, 84-10-101(1) provides that nothing in Article 7 repeals or modifies any laws prescribing the form or contents of documents of title or otherwise regulating the business of bailees. Kansas statutes regulating warehousemen are found generally in K.S.A. Chapter 34—Grain and Forage, especially K.S.A. 34-223 et seq. See generally State ex rel. Crawford v. Centerville Grain Co., Inc., 5 K.A.2d 451, 618 P.2d 1206 (1980). See also K.S.A. 82-161 et seq. (Bonding of Warehousemen) and K.S.A. 82-201 et seq. (Elevators and Warehouses). Kansas statutes affecting bills of lading include K.S.A. Chapter 66, Article 2, on duties and liabilities of railroad companies.
