The proposed bill aims to prohibit municipalities in Kansas from regulating battery-charged security fences. It defines a "battery-charged security fence" as a system that includes integrated battery-powered equipment, a monitored alarm device, and specific safety features, such as being installed behind a non-electric perimeter barrier and marked with warning signs. The bill specifies that these fences must meet certain technical standards and cannot be located on property designated exclusively for residential use.

Under the new legislation, municipalities are barred from adopting any ordinances or regulations that would impose additional permits, fees, or conflicting installation and operational requirements for battery-charged security fences. However, the bill clarifies that municipalities retain the authority to regulate security alarm systems that do not fall under the definition of a battery-charged security fence. This act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book.
