Requiring the state corporation commission to establish and enforce a code of conduct and agricultural mitigation protocol for the development, operation and decommissioning of certain large energy facilities.
Died in Committee
Summary
SB 131 would have the Kansas State Corporation Commission create a code of conduct and agricultural mitigation protocols for large energy facilities—commercial battery storage, solar, wind and transmission lines—located at least one mile outside city limits. Facility owners would need a commission permit before any site work or eminent‑domain action, must follow detailed landowner communication, compensation, and soil‑restoration requirements, and could be fined up to $10,000 per violation. The bill died in committee and did not become law.
