Statehouse, Room 149D-S
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Rahjes:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2309 by Representative Xu
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2309 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2309 would create the Agricultural Equipment Right-to-Repair Act. The bill would
require an original equipment manufacturer to provide documentation, parts and tools under “fair
and reasonable terms” as defined by the bill at a fair and reasonable cost. Violation of the Act
would be an unclassified nonperson misdemeanor punishable by a fine of $5,000.
According to the Kansas Department of Agriculture, enactment of HB 2309 would have
no fiscal effect on the agency.


Sincerely,

Adam Proffitt
Director of the Budget
