No full text"February 4, 2025."
Testimony before the Kansas Legislature, House Committee on Energy, Utilities, and Telecommunications, presented by Joseph Astrab, Consumer Counsel, Citizens' Utility Ratepayer Board.Citizens' Utility Ratepayer Board legislative testimony ; 2025.Neutral testimony concerning HB 2032. "HB 2032 creates new language to allow the Commission to adjust an electric public utility's return on equity (ROE) in the event that the utility's "all-in average retail rate" has or has not increased by 1% over a calendar year. This rate is defined by the bill as the total cost of electricity a retail customer pays per kilowatt-hour, including all fees, taxes and charges. Such changes are effective for one year after issuance of an order. If the Commission finds that a utility's all-in rates have not increased by more than 1% over a calendar year, the Commission has discretion to order an increase to the utility's ROE of up to 0.5%. Conversely, if the Commission finds that the rate has gone over that threshold, the Commission may order a decrease of up to 0.5%. Because ROE is inextricably linked to the rates customers pay, changes to this number ultimately impacts the amounts customers see on bills."

Testimony before the Kansas Legislature, Senate Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources, presented by Kelsey Olson, Deputy Secretary, Kansas Department of Agriculture.
This same testimony, with minor changes, was presented before the Kansas Legislature, House Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources, by Kelsey Olson, Deputy Secretary, Kansas Department of Agriculture, on February 10, 2025.Testimony in support of HB 2255, updating and modernizing the Weights and Measures Program. "Kansans from across the state rely on accurate weighing and measuring devices in countless situations to protect their pocketbook. ... The amendments to the language have two primary purposes. The first is to update the fees charged by KDA's metrology laboratory for requested services such as calibrating weight, measurement and volume standard test kits. Our current fees are significantly lower than those of most other National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)-certified metrology laboratories. ... As a result, the metrology laboratory continues to have a six- to eight-month lead time in scheduling customers due to the high demand for our low-priced service. These amendments will align our metrology laboratory's fees with those of other states' laboratories, which will help to reverse revenue losses, cover increasing overhead costs, and improve our ability to serve Kansas consumers in a timely manner. The other key purpose of this bill is to bring electric vehicle service equipment under the purview of the Act to ensure uniform standards and provide consumer protection in this growing area. ... NIST has introduced standards for uniform testing and calibration of electric vehicle meters which Kansas will be responsible for adopting. The changes proposed in this bill authorize KDA to apply uniform standards and testing for the growing number of public electric vehicle charging stations and are the first step to ensuring consumer confidence for the metered services."
