The Honorable Ty Masterson, Chairperson
Senate Committee on Utilities
Statehouse, Room 224-E
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Senator Masterson:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for SB 145 by Senate Committee on Utilities
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning SB 145 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
SB 145 would require the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) to investigate rates
specified in the bill that have been established by boards of public utilities if, not more than one
year after a change in such rates, a petition signed by not less than 5.0 percent of a board’s
customers or 3.0 percent of a board’s customers from any one rate class is filed with the KCC.
The rates being petitioned would remain in effect pending the KCC’s final order and any board
customer could petition the KCC to provide the names, addresses and rate classifications of all the
board’s customers or customers from any rate class. Existing law would be amended to include
references to these new requirements.
According to the KCC, enactment of SB 145 would not have an effect on agency
expenditures or revenues.


Sincerely,

Larry L. Campbell
Director of the Budget
