This bill mandates the Kansas State Corporation Commission to engage a consulting firm to conduct a technical and legal feasibility study on the promotion of nuclear energy generation within the state. The consulting firm must meet specific criteria, including being well-established in the nuclear industry for over 35 years and having significant experience with nuclear operators in the U.S. Additionally, preference will be given to firms managed by military veterans with nuclear operating experience. The bill outlines various aspects that the feasibility study must cover, such as the economic and environmental impacts of nuclear energy, workforce development, safety criteria, and potential coordination with other clean energy technologies.

The bill also includes an appropriation of $375,000 from the state general fund for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, to fund the feasibility study. The study is required to be submitted to the legislature, the governor, and relevant committees by April 1, 2026. Furthermore, any information provided to the consulting firm during the study will be confidential and exempt from the Kansas Open Records Act until July 1, 2030, unless renewed by the legislature.
