The bill mandates the Kansas State Corporation Commission to establish and enforce a code of conduct and agricultural mitigation protocols for the development, construction, operation, and decommissioning of large energy facilities in rural areas. It defines key terms such as "battery energy storage system," "commercial solar energy conversion system," and "large energy facility," which includes various energy systems like solar and wind. The bill outlines specific requirements for large energy facility owners, including transparency in communications with landowners, compensation for damages, and adherence to agricultural impact mitigation standards.

Starting January 1, 2026, large energy facility owners must obtain a code of conduct permit from the commission before beginning site preparation or construction in rural areas. The commission has the authority to impose civil penalties for violations of the code of conduct, with penalties not exceeding $10,000. The bill also allows for appeals and mandates that all penalties collected be deposited into the state general fund. The commission is empowered to adopt rules and regulations to effectively administer the provisions of the bill.
