Prohibiting regulation of battery-charged security fences by municipalities.

HB 2603 prevents Kansas cities and towns from creating new rules or fees for specific battery-powered security fences that meet strict safety standards. It directly affects property owners on non-residential property installing these defined systems, ensuring they only face existing alarm system requirements. The law bans extra permits, conflicting rules, or restrictions on installation, but doesn’t apply to standard security alarms. Key provisions require these fences to use ≤12-volt batteries, have visible warning signs every 30 feet, and be installed behind barriers at least 5 feet high.
