Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 5 mixed.
Riverbank conservation easement process repealed
The law repeals the statute that let the Kansas Water Office negotiate and file riverbank conservation easements. Landowners and the state no longer have that specific process to record easements with the secretary of state and county offices. Projects must rely on other legal tools, if any, outside the repealed statute.
Bonded warehouse licensing rules repealed
The law ends Kansas licensing and bond requirements for bonded warehouse operators. You no longer apply for a bonded warehouse license or post a state-required bond under those statutes. This can lower operator compliance costs, but it also removes bond-based protections for customers.
College reciprocity filings with state ended
The law ends the rule that copies of approved reciprocal education agreements must be filed with the secretary of state. The Board of Regents and partner schools no longer complete that filing step. This removes a state paperwork step for institutions.
No payroll dues deduction for state workers
The law repeals the rule that authorized payroll deduction of union dues for state officers and employees. Agencies cannot rely on that statute to withhold and send dues. Employees and employee groups need other payment methods outside the repealed law. The law does not create a new collection method.
Union filing and licensing rules ended
The law repeals Kansas filing, registration, and licensing rules for labor unions, business agents, and union officers. These groups no longer submit those filings or hold those state licenses. This reduces paperwork and changes oversight and public records about union activity.
Public tax abatement lists no longer filed
The law repeals requirements to keep and file public records of tax abatement actions with the secretary of state. Revenue officials and the tax appeals board stop making and filing those specific lists. This lowers paperwork but reduces public transparency about who received abatements.
