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 commission is required to consult with the Kansas Department of Agriculture to create these protocols, which will ensure transparency, fair communication, and compensation for landowners affected by these projects.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that starting January 1, 2026, no large energy facility owner can begin site preparation or construction without obtaining a code of conduct permit from the commission. The permit application must confirm the owner's commitment to adhere to the established protocols. The commission has the authority to impose civil penalties for violations of the act, with fines up to $10,000, and may require the facility owner to cover the commission's costs and attorney fees related to enforcement. The bill aims to protect landowners' rights and ensure responsible energy development in rural Kansas.
