Requiring the state corporation commission to establish and enforce a code of conduct and agricultural mitigation protocol for the development, operation and decommissioning of certain large energy facilities.

SB 131 requires Kansas' State Corporation Commission to create and enforce a code of conduct and agricultural protection rules for large energy projects (like commercial solar, battery storage, wind, or transmission lines) in rural areas. It directly affects landowners in rural zones by mandating that facility owners must be truthful, transparent, and fair during land negotiations - prohibiting coercion, requiring clear communication, and offering compensation above market value with options for lump-sum or annual payments. The bill also requires facility owners to involve landowners early in planning, provide accessible project maps, and accept reasonable siting modifications. These rules aim to protect farmland and landowner rights during energy development.
