Kansas HB2041 mandates a competitive bid process for electric transmission line permits.
Kansas HB2041 amends state law to require electric utilities to complete a competitive bid process for proposed electric transmission lines before applying for a siting permit. The Kansas Corporation Commission must review the bid process and ensure it was open and fair, selecting the lowest reasonable bid. The commission will not issue a permit unless these conditions are met. The bill also sets a 120-day deadline for the commission to issue a final order on the application.
