Dear Representative Rahjes:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2651 by House Committee on Appropriations
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2651 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2651 would require a third party that causes damage to crops or land to notify the
landowner of the damage, request documentation of existing tenants of the land, and to reimburse
the landowner or any tenant in accordance with the existing land lease agreement.
The Kansas Association of Counties states enactment of the bill could result in increased
costs for registers of deeds.

Sincerely,

Adam C. Proffitt
Director of the Budget
