The Honorable Leo Delperdang, Chairperson
House Committee on Energy, Utilities and Telecommunications
300 SW 10th Avenue, Room 582-N
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Delperdang:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2620 by House Committee on Energy, Utilities and
Telecommunications
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2620 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2620 would amend current law pertaining to public utilities and the Kansas Corporation
Commission (KCC). The bill would establish a rebuttable presumption against the retirement of
fossil fuel-fired electric generating units, require the KCC to report on the retirements, and extend
the timeline for the KCC to make a determination regarding the rate-making treatment for electric
generating or transmission facilities.
The Kansas Corporation Commission and the Citizens’ Utility Ratepayer Board (CURB)
indicate that the enactment of the bill would not have a fiscal effect. CURB notes that the fiscal
effect could change depending upon the number of filings and complexity of cases filed.
The League of Kansas Municipalities and the Kansas Association of Counties indicate that
a fiscal effect cannot be estimated with the enactment of the bill.

Sincerely,

Adam C. Proffitt
Director of the Budget
