““It has long been recognized that ‘[l]iberty of contract is not an absolute concept.’ Hartford Accident Co. v. Nelson Co., 291 U.S. 352, 360 , 78 L. Ed. 840 , 54 S. Ct. 392 (1934), and numerous cases cited therein. Although the right to contract is a part of the liberty protected by due process guarantees, it is subject to such restraints as a state in the exertion of its police power reasonably may put upon it to safeguard the public interest. West Coast Hotel Co. v. Parrish, 300 U.S. 379, 391-92 , 81 L. Ed. 703 , 57 S. Ct. 578 (1937).” State v. Mwaura, 4 Kan. App. 2d 738, 740, 610 P.2d 662 , rev. denied 228 Kan. 807 (1980).”
