Requiring the state corporation commission to establish and enforce a code of conduct and agricultural mitigation protocol for the development, operation and decommissioning of certain large energy facilities.

HB 2108 requires Kansas' State Corporation Commission to create and enforce a code of conduct and agricultural mitigation protocols for large energy facilities (like commercial solar, battery storage, wind, and transmission lines) in rural areas. The bill directly affects energy facility owners and rural landowners by mandating specific rules for interactions, including requiring truthful communication, transparency about projects, respect for landowner requests to stop contact, and fair property appraisals. Key provisions include requiring owners to offer payments above market value when using eminent domain, allow landowners to choose payment structures (one-time or annual), and incorporate landowner feedback on project siting. The rules aim to protect agricultural land and ensure respectful engagement during development, construction, operation, and decommissioning of these facilities.
