Kansas SB61 mandates electric public utilities to cover landowner attorney fees if the jury's verdict exceeds appraisers' award in eminent domain.
Kansas SB61 amends eminent domain laws to require electric public utilities to pay landowner attorney fees when the jury's verdict exceeds the appraisers' award in appeals. This change applies when the landowner successfully appeals the appraisers' award and the jury's verdict is higher. The bill repeals the existing section K.S.A. 26-509 and replaces it with this new provision. This act takes effect upon publication in the statute book.
