Requiring the Kansas department of agriculture to publish a map on the department's official website that shows the location of all applied for diversions of water, including requested changes in the point of diversion by more than 300 feet, and expanding the current individual notice requirement to apply to all landowners that are within half a mile of such applied for diversions or changes.

HB 2477 requires the Kansas Department of Agriculture to publish an online map showing all proposed water diversions and changes to diversion points exceeding 300 feet. It expands notification requirements to cover all landowners within half a mile of these proposed changes, replacing the current system where the department coordinated notices with groundwater districts. The bill also mandates that any resulting orders related to these diversions be posted on the department's website. This affects landowners near proposed water diversion projects by providing greater transparency and direct notification about changes to water usage.
