Providing for the statewide election of commissioners of the state corporation commission.

SB 93 changes how Kansas selects commissioners for the State Corporation Commission (SCC), replacing gubernatorial appointments with statewide elections. Currently, the governor appoints SCC commissioners (with Senate confirmation), but this bill requires them to be elected by all Kansas voters in general elections held every four years, starting in 2026. The bill establishes a schedule: position one is elected in 2026 and 2030 primaries/general elections, while positions two and three follow a staggered 2028/2032 cycle. This directly affects the three SCC commissioners and all Kansas voters, shifting power from the governor to the electorate for these regulatory positions. The bill amends statutes governing SCC appointments (K.S.A. 74-601) and statewide election schedules (K.S.A. 25-101, 25-101a).
