Summary

Kansas law lets electric public utilities offer Commission-authorized economic development rate discounts to new or expanded industrial and commercial facilities, but a facility that is a qualified data center under the state data center sales tax exemption law is not eligible for that discount. The exclusion was added by Laws 2025, chapter 124, section 5, effective 1 July 2025.

What this does not establish

  • The Revisor page does not mark which subsection each act added; attribution of subsection (c) to the 2025 act rests on the history line and on Kansas Department of Revenue Notice 25-03, which says Section 5 of Senate Bill 98 amended 66-101j as it relates to a qualified data center.
  • The record does not establish whether any utility tariff or contract was changed as a result.
  • Only qualified data centers as defined in K.S.A. 74-50,331 are excluded; other data centers are not addressed by this subsection.

Unresolved questions

None recorded.

Relationships

Supersession means a later instrument replaces the earlier legal effect. Repeal links identify the repeal instrument and the measure it ends. A later implementation or related letter is not treated as a replacement unless the record says so.
