2. ““The fees section of the amended statute is not a part of the law which creates, defines or regulates rights. It does not create any liability against defendant for the crime committed. Rather, the amendment appears to have been routinely made to remedy the defect in the statute caused by inflation and passage of time. No new duty is thereby imposed upon defendant. As such, the statutory amendment appears procedural in nature. . . . The amount of docket fee to be assessed defendant was statutorily controlled and was not a matter within the trial court’s discretion.” 9 Kan. App. 2d at 79 . (Emphasis added.)”

3. ““ ‘A witness, in order to be competent as an expert, must show himself to be skilled or experienced in the business or profession to which the subject relates. There are no precise requirements as to the mode in which skill or experience shall have been acquired. ... A witness may be competent to testily as an expert although his knowledge was acquired through the medium of practical experience rather than by scientific study and research.’ ””
