SB 184 Kansas Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Amending the Kansas drycleaner environmental response act to modify the penalties for violations of the act, the required deductible rate for corrective actions, the environmental surcharge rate, the solvent fee and the delinquency penalty related to environmental surcharges and solvent fees.

SB 184 amends Kansas' Drycleaner Environmental Response Act to modify financial penalties and fees for drycleaning facilities. It changes penalties for violations, adjusts the deductible rate for corrective actions, updates the environmental surcharge rate, modifies the solvent fee, and revises delinquency penalties for unpaid surcharges or fees. These changes directly affect drycleaning facilities, their owners, and retailers providing drycleaning services, as defined under the act. The bill focuses on updating specific financial mechanisms without altering environmental standards or reporting requirements. (Based on bill text: SB 184, Session 2025, amending K.S.A. 65-34,142 et seq.)
