Enacting the Kansas organic waste land application accountability act and authorizing the department of health and environment to regulate the land application of biosolids and organic waste materials, except when applied by a bona fide farmer conducting normal farming operations on land owned or leased by such farmer.

Summary

The bill creates a regulatory framework for companies that spread biosolids or other organic waste on land, mandating permits, testing, documentation and distance limits from homes. It does not apply to bona‑fide farmers who use such material as part of normal farming on their own land. The goal is to protect public health, water quality and nearby residents from odors, contaminants and runoff.
