Kansas SB317 establishes new requirements for water technical assistance fund and water projects grant fund applications, including a 25-year water.

Kansas SB317 introduces additional criteria for applications to the water technical assistance fund and the water projects grant fund. It mandates that applicants demonstrate the availability of a 25-year water supply, except when the application is for a new water supply source that will extend the current supply. The bill prohibits grants for issues related to water rights impaired by another water right. It prioritizes applications based on public health, resource management, population trends, funding sources, regional cooperation, and weather resiliency.
