Dear Senator Olson:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for SB 278 by Senate Committee on Federal and State Affairs
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning SB 278 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
SB 278 would require public utilities to report to the Kansas Corporation Commission
certain data pertaining to the number of utility customers and amounts charged to such customers,
customer account delinquencies and utility service disconnections, and customer assistance
programs offered by the utility. The bill would require the Kansas Corporation Commission to
open a proceeding on or before July 30, 2024, regarding public utility customer assistance
programs.
The Kansas Corporation Commission and the Citizens’ Utility Ratepayer Board indicate
that enactment of SB 278 would not have a fiscal effect.


Sincerely,

Adam Proffitt
Director of the Budget
