Other Title: Senate Bill 456
No full text"February 15, 2024."
Testimony before the Kansas Legislature, Senate Committee on Utilities, presented by David Nickel, Consumer Counsel, Citizens' Utility Ratepayer Board.Citizens' Utility Ratepayer Board Legislative Testimony ; 2024.Testimony in support of SB 456. "CURB supports SB 456 because CURB believes that it attempts to protect residential and small commercial utility ratepayers from abandonment of a fossil-fuel fired electric generating unit that would result in less reliability and/or resiliency in the utility's system or result in higher utility rates. Regarding any environmental benefit that may occur from the retirement of fossil fuel-fired generating units, CURB earnestly believes that Kansans always need to be good stewards of the earth. However, in CURB's view, practicality with respect to environmental practices must be observed. Furthermore, CURB recognizes that, as to the abandonment of fossil fuel-fired generating units, SB 456 essentially urges a state policy which is a matter for the Kansas Legislature to determine. ... Furthermore, CURB supports the provisions of the proposal in SB 456 requiring an annual report to the legislature. ... While CURB's testimony is intended only to be helpful regarding the workability SB 456, CURB shares the concerns for system reliability at reasonable costs that are addressed by the bill.
Other Title: Important Recent Utility Developments
No full text"January 25, 2024."
Presentation before the Kansas Legislature, Senate Utilities Committee, presented by David Nickel, Consumer Counsel, Citizens' Utility Ratepayer Board.Citizens' Utility Ratepayer Board Legislative Testimony ; 2024.Presentation concerning "two important utility developments that have occurred in the first half of Fiscal Year 2024. These developments could help to reduce utility bills for customers in the Evergy Kansas Central and Evergy Kansas Metro (together, Evergy) territories. The first development is the KCC's approval of Evergy's demand-side management (DSM) program portfolio, which includes energy efficiency (also referred to as EE) and demand response programs. The second development is the KCC's approval of Time-of-Use (TOU) rates as part of Evergy's most recent rate case. In both of these matters, robust customer education is essential to program success. CURB seeks to be involved in the customer education process."Energy Efficiency and Demand Response

Other Title: House Bill 2597
No full text"February 8, 2024."
Testimony before the Kansas Legislature, House Committee on Energy, Utilities and Telecommunications, presented by David Nickel, Consumer Counsel, Citizens' Utility Ratepayer Board.Citizens' Utility Ratepayer Board Legislative Testimony ; 2024.Testimony in support of HB 2597. "HB 2597 extends the time within which the KCC shall determine rate-making principles and treatment pertaining to applications filed with the KCC. ... Under HB 2597, the 180-day deadline set forth in K.S.A. 66-1239 for KCC determinations is extended to 240 days. CURB perceives that this amendment to K.S.A. 66-1239 is good for residential and small commercial ratepayers. The types of applications that are brought to the KCC under K.S.A. 66-1239 are very complex and can have a significant, long-term effect upon ratepayers in general. The extension of time contemplated by HB 2597 for the KCC to determine these types of applications from 180 days to 240 days is reasonable, will allow a better evidentiary record to be created, and allow more time for the KCC to more carefully consider and meet the public interest.

Title supplied by cataloger."Exceptions are a key part of KDHE's ability to respond to special circumstances and needs in various communities throughout the state. ... Exceptions allow us to take a case by case view while ensuring proper health and safety standards remain present. We consider provider history, any previous enforcement issues, community need, etc. We also consider family need and that some exception requests can be specific to a child's needs (i.e. specific sleep position, not splitting up siblings, etc.) We also utilize exceptions as a way to help facilities and providers meet regulation requirements. For example, we can grant exceptions if potential staff do not meet regulatory requirements and/or qualifications while working with that facility/provider to create a path to do so.
