The Honorable Ty Masterson, Chairperson
Senate Committee on Utilities
Statehouse, Room 224-E
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Senator Masterson:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for SB 24 by Senate Committee on Utilities
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning SB 24 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
SB 24 would amend existing law concerning recovery by electric utilities of transmission-
related costs. The bill would limit the return that a utility may recover to the actuarially assumed
investment rate of return established by the Board of Trustees of the Kansas Public Employees
Retirement System. This limitation would not apply to costs to use transmission facilities not
owned by the utility. The bill would also exclude the utility that seeks to implement the
transmission delivery charge from any other manner of recovery of its costs from its retail
customers.
The Kansas Corporation Commission states that enactment of SB 24 would have no fiscal
effect on the agency.

Sincerely,

Larry L. Campbell
Director of the Budget
