This bill establishes new requirements for the decommissioning of commercial wind and solar energy facilities in Kansas. Before the construction of such facilities, the county's board of commissioners must require the facility owner to enter into a decommissioning agreement that outlines a comprehensive decommissioning plan. This plan must be prepared by an independent, licensed engineer and include a financial assurance estimate sufficient to cover decommissioning costs. The facility owner is responsible for providing this financial assurance in a form determined by the county, ensuring that funds are accessible for decommissioning if necessary.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that if a facility owner cannot complete decommissioning or is no longer in business, the county may take on the decommissioning responsibilities and assess the costs against affected landowners. The decommissioning agreement must also include provisions for penalties and remedies in case of noncompliance by the facility owner, allowing the county to recover litigation costs if it needs to enforce the agreement. Overall, the legislation aims to ensure that commercial energy facilities are responsibly decommissioned, protecting both the environment and the interests of local landowners.
