Dues paid pursuant to Supreme Court Order will be used by the KBA for those activities and purposes that are necessary or reasonably incurred for the purpose of fulfilling the mission established by the Court; regulating the legal profession, and improving the quality of legal services. Such dues will not be used for political or ideological activities that could reasonably be construed to impinge on the First Amendment rights of free speech of members who disagree with such political or ideological activities.
In the event a particular activity that uses compulsory dues is claimed to impinge upon such constitutional rights of the members, the Board will comply with the procedures and requirements set forth in Keller v. State Bar of California, 496 U.S. 1 (1990), and will refund to the member, or permit the member to withhold, a proportionate amount as may have been expended.
