§ 60-252a Trial by the court; judgment, ruling or decision, time limitation.

If a judge hears a case without a jury (or with an advisory jury) and doesn't make a decision within 90 days after the trial ends and everything has been submitted, the judge has to explain why. The judge must file a written report to the Kansas Supreme Court laying out the reasons for the delay.

This rule also applies when a judge is slow to rule on a motion or objection. If 90 days pass without a decision, the same reporting requirement kicks in.

For people involved in a case, this rule is meant to keep judges accountable for moving cases along. It doesn't force a judge to rule a certain way, but it creates a paper trail when decisions take too long. This gives the court system a way to track delays and encourages judges to resolve cases without unnecessary waiting.
