No full text"February 29th," [2024].
Testimony before the Kansas Legislature, House Commerce Committee, presented by Bob North, Chief Legal Counsel, Kansas Department of Commerce.Testimony in support of HB 2471. "Kansas long ago earned its place in the automotive industry. Now that industry is undergoing rapid evolution. With more than 1.2 trillion in planned EV production investment by 2030, the United States is poised to become a global leader in the EV transition. ... HB 2471 slightly enhances our traditional incentives giving the State a competitive edge to successfully recruit this industry as well as national headquarters. The bill establishes clear eligibility requirements, includes meaningful clawbacks and requires all benefits to be earned after jobs are created and investment is made. ... In short, this bill creates a new economic development tool for job creation activity, capital investments made by the manufacturers or national headquarters, and training partnerships with our community colleges. Overall, this tool will allow the state to continue to capture future investments of the automotive industry and build off the established momentum that has been earned from our bipartisan efforts to make Kansas the best place in the country to do business.

Testimony before the Kansas Legislature, Senate Transportation Committee, presented by Mike Hoeme, Director of Transportation, Kansas Corporation Commission.Testimony in support of SB 476. "The Commission supports Senate Bill 476 in the creation of a new excessive speeding law for motor vehicles operating at a speed of 100 miles per hour or more. The safe operation of all vehicles in Kansas impacts all highway users. ... By increasing the penalties for excessive speeding would encourage motor carriers to ensure drivers are maintaining safe speeds. By impacting drivers, both financial and through new restrictions, motor carriers are more likely to require their drivers maintain safe speeds. Because commercial motor vehicles account for most of the biggest vehicles on roadways, requiring such vehicles to operate at safer speeds increases the safety of the motoring public as a whole. Thus, legislation with the goal of deterring unsafe behavior on our highways is a benefit for all Kansans.

"CURB opposes HB 2527 since it entails a significant, unwarranted and outrageous change to the utility regulation paradigm in Kansas that has worked to set rates in a lawful manner for over a century. Further, CURB would join in the testimony posited by other conferees that are opposed to other aspects of the house bill. Finally, as indicated CURB would welcome a frank discussion with utilities, KCC staff and other stakeholders regarding reasonable improvements that can be made to the regulatory framework in Kansas, including discussion of Sections 3 and 4 of HB 2527."
Other Title: House Bill 2588
No full text"February 1, 2024."
Testimony before the Kansas Legislature, House Committee on Energy, Utilities and Telecommunications, presented by David Nickel, Consumer Counsel, Citizens' Utility Ratepayer Board.
This same testimony was presented before the Kansas Legislature, Senate Committee on Utilities, by Joseph R. Astrab, Attorney, Citizens' Utility Ratepayer Board on March 5, 2024.Citizens' Utility Ratepayer Board Legislative Testimony ; 2024.Testimony in support of HB 2588. "The amendments made by HB 2588 provide more favorable terms related to net-metering for customer-generators than provided under current Kansas statutes. Yet, HB 2588 also amends the pertinent statutes to provide protection of the utilities' ability to maintain adequate and low cost service to customers who are not customer-generators. ... Although HB 2588 may not provide as much relief as some customer-generators believe should be provided with respect to net-metering, the amendments are steps in the right direction and provide meaningful protection for the utility systems in CURB's view. Second, CURB is a strong supporter of the optional time-varying rates approved in Evergy's rate case, available to residential customers who choose to participate. Naturally, CURB is in favor of expanding the availability of those time-varying rate options to apply to customer-generators. Time-varying rate options better align with cost causation principles. Additionally, if consumers' behavior can be changed to use less electricity during peak hours, then the overall system cost of electricity may be reduced, potentially leading to reduced costs for all consumers.
