KS HB2728

Establishes the "Kansas energy facility siting and permit certainty act," requiring the State Corporation Commission to create uniform statewide standards for siting and permitting electric generation, energy storage, and energy conversion facilities

Limits local government moratoriums on energy facility applications to 30 days without state approval, with a maximum total duration of 120 days; requires written justification based on imminent public health or safety threats

Mandates local governments accept or reject applications for completeness within 30 days and issue final decisions within 120 days, with one possible 60-day extension; failure to act allows applicants to request state review

Requires energy facility applicants to submit decommissioning plans with financial assurance (bond, escrow, letter of credit, or similar instrument) covering estimated costs net of salvage value; facilities inactive for 360 continuous days are presumed to have reached end of useful life

Authorizes the State Corporation Commission to override local requirements deemed to impose an "undue burden" on energy facilities, including those that effectively prohibit development, lack substantial evidence of public health/safety necessity, or discriminate based on energy source without site-specific justification
