Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Kansas:

Section 1. K.S.A. 1997 Supp. 65-171d is hereby amended to read as
follows: 65-171d. (a) For the purpose of preventing surface and subsur-
face water pollution and soil pollution detrimental to public health or to
the plant, animal and aquatic life of the state, and to protect beneficial
uses of the waters of the state and to require the treatment of sewage
predicated upon technologically based effluent limitations, the secretary
of health and environment shall make such rules and regulations, includ-
ing registration of potential sources of pollution, as may in the secretary's
judgment be necessary to: (1) Protect the soil and waters of the state from
pollution resulting from underground storage reservoirs of hydrocarbons
and liquid petroleum gas; (2) control the disposal, discharge or escape of
sewage as defined in K.S.A. 65-164 and amendments thereto, by or from
municipalities, corporations, companies, institutions, state agencies, fed-
eral agencies or individuals and any plants, works or facilities owned or
operated, or both, by them; and (3) establish water quality standards for
the waters of the state to protect their beneficial uses.

(b) The secretary of health and environment may adopt by reference
any regulation relating to water quality and effluent standards promul-
gated by the federal government pursuant to the provisions of the federal
clean water act and amendments thereto, as in effect on January 1, 1989,
which the secretary is otherwise authorized by law to adopt.

(c) For the purposes of this act, including K.S.A. 65-161 through 65-
171h and sections 2 through 22, and amendments thereto, and rules and
regulations adopted pursuant thereto:

(1) ``Pollution'' means: (A) Such contamination or other alteration of
the physical, chemical or biological properties of any waters of the state
as will or is likely to create a nuisance or render such waters harmful,
detrimental or injurious to public health, safety or welfare, or to the plant,
animal or aquatic life of the state or to other designated beneficial uses;
or (B) such discharge as will or is likely to exceed state effluent standards
predicated upon technologically based effluent limitations.

(2) ``Confined feeding facility'' means any lot, pen, pool or pond: (A)
Which is used for the confined feeding of animals or fowl for food, fur
or pleasure purposes; (B) which is not normally used for raising crops;
and (C) in which no vegetation intended for animal food is growing.

(3) ``Animal unit'' means a unit of measurement calculated by adding
the following numbers: The number of beef cattle weighing more than
700 pounds multiplied by 1.0; plus the number of cattle weighing less
than 700 pounds multiplied by 0.5; plus the number of mature dairy cattle
multiplied by 1.4; plus the number of swine weighing more than 55
pounds multiplied by 0.4; plus the number of swine weighing 55 pounds
or less multiplied by 0.1; plus the number of sheep or lambs multiplied
by 0.1; plus the number of horses multiplied by 2.0; plus the number of
turkeys multiplied by 0.018; plus the number of laying hens or broilers,
if the facility has continuous overflow watering, multiplied by 0.01; plus
the number of laying hens or broilers, if the facility has a liquid manure
system, multiplied by 0.033; plus the number of ducks multiplied by 0.2.
However, each head of cattle will be counted as one full animal unit for
the purpose of determining the need for a federal permit. ``Animal unit''
also includes the number of swine weighing 55 pounds or less multiplied
by 0.1 for the purpose of determining applicable requirements for new
construction of a confined feeding facility for which a permit or registra-
tion has not been issued before January 1, 1998, and for which an appli-
cation for a permit or registration and plans have not been filed with the
secretary of health and environment before January 1, 1998, or for the
purpose of determining applicable requirements for expansion of such
facility. However, each head of swine weighing 55 pounds or less shall be
counted as 0.0 animal unit for the purpose of determining the need for
a federal permit.

(4) ``Animal unit capacity'' means the maximum number of animal
units which a confined feeding facility is designed to accommodate at any
one time.

(5) ``Habitable structure'' means any of the following structures which
is occupied or maintained in a condition which may be occupied and
which, in the case of a confined feeding facility for swine, is owned by a
person other than the operator of such facility: A dwelling, church, school,
adult care home, medical care facility, child care facility, library, com-
munity center, public building, office building or licensed food service or
lodging establishment.

(6) ``Wildlife refuge'' means Cheyenne Bottoms wildlife management
area, Cheyenne Bottoms preserve and Flint Hills, Quivera, Marais des
Cygnes and Kirwin national wildlife refuges.

(d) In adopting rules and regulations, the secretary of health and en-
vironment, taking into account the varying conditions that are probable
for each source of sewage and its possible place of disposal, discharge or
escape, may provide for varying the control measures required in each
case to those the secretary finds to be necessary to prevent pollution. If
a freshwater reservoir or farm pond is privately owned and where com-
plete ownership of land bordering the reservoir or pond is under common
private ownership, such freshwater reservoir or farm pond shall be ex-
empt from water quality standards except as it relates to water discharge
or seepage from the reservoir or pond to waters of the state, either surface
or groundwater, or as it relates to the public health of persons using the
reservoir or pond or waters therefrom.

(e) (1) Whenever the secretary of health and environment or the
secretary's duly authorized agents find that the soil or waters of the state
are not being protected from pollution resulting from underground stor-
age reservoirs of hydrocarbons and liquid petroleum gas or that storage
or disposal of salt water not regulated by the state corporation commission
or refuse in any surface pond is causing or is likely to cause pollution of
soil or waters of the state, the secretary or the secretary's duly authorized
agents shall issue an order prohibiting such underground storage reservoir
or surface pond. Any person aggrieved by such order may within 15 days
of service of the order request in writing a hearing on the order.

(2) Upon receipt of a timely request, a hearing shall be conducted in
accordance with the provisions of the Kansas administrative procedure
act.

(3) Any action of the secretary pursuant to this subsection is subject
to review in accordance with the act for judicial review and civil enforce-
ment of agency actions.

(f) The secretary may adopt rules and regulations establishing fees
for the following services:

(1) Plan approval, monitoring and inspecting underground or buried
petroleum products storage tanks, for which the annual fee shall not ex-
ceed $5 for each tank in place;

(2) permitting, monitoring and inspecting salt solution mining oper-
ators, for which the annual fee shall not exceed $1,950 per company; and

(3) permitting, monitoring and inspecting hydrocarbon storage wells
and well systems, for which the annual fee shall not exceed $1,875 per
company.

(g) Prior to any new construction of a confined feeding facility with
an animal unit capacity of 300 to 999, such facility shall register with the
secretary of health and environment. Facilities with a capacity of less than
300 animal units may register with the secretary. Any such registration
shall be accompanied by a $25 fee. Within 30 days of receipt of such
registration, the department of health and environment shall identify any
significant water pollution potential or separation distance violations pur-
suant to subsection (h). If there is identified a significant water pollution
potential, such facility shall be required to obtain a permit from the sec-
retary. If there is no water pollution potential posed by a facility with an
animal unit capacity of less than 300, the secretary may certify that no
permit is required. If there is no water pollution potential nor any viola-
tion of separation distances posed by a facility with an animal unit capacity
of 300 to 999, the secretary shall certify that no permit is required and
that there are no certification conditions pertaining to separation dis-
tances. If a separation distance violation is identified, the secretary may
reduce the separation distance in accordance with subsection (i) and shall
certify any such reduction of separation distances.

(b) The secretary of health and environment may adopt by reference
any regulation relating to water quality and effluent standards promul-
gated by the federal government pursuant to the provisions of the federal
clean water act and amendments thereto, as in effect on January 1, 1989,
which the secretary is otherwise authorized by law to adopt.

(c) For the purposes of this act, including K.S.A. 65-161 through 65-
171h and amendments thereto, and rules and regulations adopted pur-
suant thereto:

(1) ``Pollution'' means: (A) Such contamination or other alteration of
the physical, chemical or biological properties of any waters of the state
as will or is likely to create a nuisance or render such waters harmful,
detrimental or injurious to public health, safety or welfare, or to the plant,
animal or aquatic life of the state or to other designated beneficial uses;
or (B) such discharge as will or is likely to exceed state effluent standards
predicated upon technologically based effluent limitations.

(2) ``Confined feeding facility'' means any lot, pen, pool or pond: (A)
Which is used for the confined feeding of animals or fowl for food, fur
or pleasure purposes; (B) which is not normally used for raising crops;
and (C) in which no vegetation intended for animal food is growing.

(3) ``Animal unit'' means a unit of measurement calculated by adding
the following numbers: The number of beef cattle weighing more than
700 pounds multiplied by 1.0; plus the number of cattle weighing less
than 700 pounds multiplied by 0.5; plus the number of mature dairy cattle
multiplied by 1.4; plus the number of swine weighing more than 55
pounds multiplied by 0.4; plus the number of swine weighing 55 pounds
or less multiplied by 0.1; plus the number of sheep or lambs multiplied
by 0.1; plus the number of horses multiplied by 2.0; plus the number of
turkeys multiplied by 0.018; plus the number of laying hens or broilers,
if the facility has continuous overflow watering, multiplied by 0.01; plus
the number of laying hens or broilers, if the facility has a liquid manure
system, multiplied by 0.033; plus the number of ducks multiplied by 0.2.
However, each head of cattle will be counted as one full animal unit for
the purpose of determining the need for a federal permit. ``Animal unit''
also includes the number of swine weighing 55 pounds or less multiplied
by 0.1 for the purpose of determining applicable requirements for new
construction of a confined feeding facility for which a permit or registra-
tion has not been issued before January 1, 1998, and for which an appli-
cation for a permit or registration and plans have not been filed with the
secretary of health and environment before January 1, 1998, or for the
purpose of determining applicable requirements for expansion of such
facility. However, each head of swine weighing 55 pounds or less shall be
counted as 0.0 animal unit for the purpose of determining the need for
a federal permit.

(4) ``Animal unit capacity'' means the maximum number of animal
units which a confined feeding facility is designed to accommodate at any
one time.

(5) ``Habitable structure'' means any of the following structures which
is occupied or maintained in a condition which may be occupied: A dwell-
ing, church, school, adult care home, medical care facility, child care
facility, library, community center, public building, office building or li-
censed food service or lodging establishment.

(d) In adopting rules and regulations, the secretary of health and en-
vironment, taking into account the varying conditions that are probable
for each source of sewage and its possible place of disposal, discharge or
escape, may provide for varying the control measures required in each
case to those the secretary finds to be necessary to prevent pollution. If
a freshwater reservoir or farm pond is privately owned and where com-
plete ownership of land bordering the reservoir is under common private
ownership, such freshwater reservoir or farm pond shall be exempt from
water quality standards except as it relates to water discharge or seepage
from the reservoir to waters of the state, either surface or groundwater,
or as it relates to the public health of persons using the reservoir or pond
or waters therefrom.

(e) (1) Whenever the secretary of health and environment or the
secretary's duly authorized agents find that the soil or waters of the state
are not being protected from pollution resulting from underground stor-
age reservoirs of hydrocarbons and liquid petroleum gas or that storage
or disposal of salt water not regulated by the state corporation commission
or refuse in any surface pond is causing or is likely to cause pollution of
soil or waters of the state, the secretary or the secretary's duly authorized
agents shall issue an order prohibiting such underground storage reservoir
or surface pond. Any person aggrieved by such order may within 15 days
of service of the order request in writing a hearing on the order.

(2) Upon receipt of a timely request, a hearing shall be conducted in
accordance with the provisions of the Kansas administrative procedure
act.

(3) Any action of the secretary pursuant to this subsection is subject
to review in accordance with the act for judicial review and civil enforce-
ment of agency actions.

(f) The secretary may adopt rules and regulations establishing fees
for the following services:

(1) Plan approval, monitoring and inspecting underground or buried
petroleum products storage tanks, for which the annual fee shall not ex-
ceed $5 for each tank in place;

(2) permitting, monitoring and inspecting salt solution mining oper-
ators, for which the annual fee shall not exceed $1,950 per company; and

(3) permitting, monitoring and inspecting hydrocarbon storage wells
and well systems, for which the annual fee shall not exceed $1,875 per
company.

(g) Prior to any new construction of a confined feeding facility with
an animal unit capacity of 300 to 999, such facility shall register with the
secretary of health and environment. Facilities with less than 300 animal
units may register with the secretary. Any such registration shall be ac-
companied by a $25 fee. Within 30 days of receipt of such registration,
the department of health and environment shall identify any significant
water pollution potential or separation distance violations pursuant to sub-
section (h). If there is identified a significant water pollution potential,
such facility shall be required to obtain a permit from the secretary. If
there is no water pollution potential posed by a facility with an animal
unit capacity of less than 300, the secretary may certify that no permit is
required. If there is no water pollution potential nor any violation of
separation distances posed by a facility with an animal unit capacity of
300 to 999, the secretary shall certify that no permit is required and that
there are no certification conditions pertaining to separation distances. If
a separation distance violation is identified, the secretary may reduce the
separation distance in accordance with subsection (i) and shall certify any
such reduction of separation distances.

(h) Any new construction or new expansion of a confined feeding
facility shall meet or exceed the following requirements in separation
distances from any habitable structure:

(1) 1320 feet for facilities with an animal unit capacity of 300 to 999;
and

(2) 4000 feet for facilities with an animal unit capacity of 1,000 or
more.

(i) The separation distance requirements of subsection (h) shall not
apply if such person newly constructing or newly expanding a confined
feeding facility obtains a written agreement from all owners of habitable
structures which are within the separation distance stating such owners
are aware of such construction or expansion and have no objections to
such construction or expansion. The written agreement shall be filed in
the register of deeds office of the county in which the habitable structure
is located. The secretary may reduce separation distance requirements if:
(1) No substantial objection from owners of habitable structures within
the separation distance is received in response to public notice; or (2) the
board of county commissioners of the county where the confined feeding
facility is located submits a written request seeking a reduction of sepa-
ration distances.

(j) The separation distances required pursuant to subsection (h) shall
not apply to:

(1) Confined feeding facilities which are permitted or certified by the
secretary on the effective date of this act;

(2) confined feeding facilities which exist on the effective date of this
act and register with the secretary before July 1, 1996; or

(3) expansion of a confined feeding facility, including any expansion
for which an application is pending on the effective date of this act, if:
(A) In the case of a facility with an animal unit capacity of 1,000 or more
prior to the effective date of this act, the expansion is located at a distance
not less than the distance between the facility and the nearest habitable
structure prior to the expansion; or (B) in the case of a facility with an
animal unit capacity of less than 1,000 prior to the effective date of this
act and, the expansion is located at a distance not less than the distance
between the facility and the nearest habitable structure prior to the ex-
pansion the animal unit capacity of the facility after expansion does not
exceed 2,000.

(k) All plans and specifications submitted to the department for new
construction or new expansion of confined feeding facilities may be, but
are not required to be, prepared by a professional engineer or a consult-
ant.

Sec. 36. Upon expiration of the provisions of section 29 pursuant to
section 30, K.S.A. 79-32,117 is hereby revived to read as follows: 79-
32,117. (a) The Kansas adjusted gross income of an individual means such
individual's federal adjusted gross income for the taxable year, with the
modifications specified in this section.

(b) There shall be added to federal adjusted gross income:

(i) Interest income less any related expenses directly incurred in the
purchase of state or political subdivision obligations, to the extent that
the same is not included in federal adjusted gross income, on obligations
of any state or political subdivision thereof, but to the extent that interest
income on obligations of this state or a political subdivision thereof issued
prior to January 1, 1988, is specifically exempt from income tax under the
laws of this state authorizing the issuance of such obligations, it shall be
excluded from computation of Kansas adjusted gross income whether or
not included in federal adjusted gross income. Interest income on obli-
gations of this state or a political subdivision thereof issued after Decem-
ber 31, 1987, shall be excluded from computation of Kansas adjusted
gross income whether or not included in federal adjusted gross income.

(ii) Taxes on or measured by income or fees or payments in lieu of
income taxes imposed by this state or any other taxing jurisdiction to the
extent deductible in determining federal adjusted gross income and not
credited against federal income tax. This paragraph shall not apply to taxes
imposed under the provisions of K.S.A. 79-1107 or 79-1108, and amend-
ments thereto, for privilege tax year 1995, and all such years thereafter.

(iii) The federal net operating loss deduction.

(iv) Federal income tax refunds received by the taxpayer if the de-
duction of the taxes being refunded resulted in a tax benefit for Kansas
income tax purposes during a prior taxable year. Such refunds shall be
included in income in the year actually received regardless of the method
of accounting used by the taxpayer. For purposes hereof, a tax benefit
shall be deemed to have resulted if the amount of the tax had been de-
ducted in determining income subject to a Kansas income tax for a prior
year regardless of the rate of taxation applied in such prior year to the
Kansas taxable income, but only that portion of the refund shall be in-
cluded as bears the same proportion to the total refund received as the
federal taxes deducted in the year to which such refund is attributable
bears to the total federal income taxes paid for such year. For purposes
of the foregoing sentence, federal taxes shall be considered to have been
deducted only to the extent such deduction does not reduce Kansas tax-
able income below zero.

(v) The amount of any depreciation deduction or business expense
deduction claimed on the taxpayer's federal income tax return for any
capital expenditure in making any building or facility accessible to the
handicapped, for which expenditure the taxpayer claimed the credit al-
lowed by K.S.A. 79-32,177, and amendments thereto.

(vi) Any amount of designated employee contributions picked up by
an employer pursuant to K.S.A. 12-5005, 20-2603, 74-4919 and 74-4965,

(vii) The amount of any charitable contribution made to the extent
the same is claimed as the basis for the credit allowed pursuant to K.S.A.
79-32,196, and amendments thereto.

(c) There shall be subtracted from federal adjusted gross income:

(i) Interest or dividend income on obligations or securities of any
authority, commission or instrumentality of the United States and its pos-
sessions less any related expenses directly incurred in the purchase of
such obligations or securities, to the extent included in federal adjusted
gross income but exempt from state income taxes under the laws of the
United States.

gross income but which are specifically exempt from Kansas income tax-
ation under the laws of the state of Kansas.

(iii) The portion of any gain or loss from the sale or other disposition
of property having a higher adjusted basis for Kansas income tax purposes
than for federal income tax purposes on the date such property was sold
or disposed of in a transaction in which gain or loss was recognized for
purposes of federal income tax that does not exceed such difference in
basis, but if a gain is considered a long-term capital gain for federal in-
come tax purposes, the modification shall be limited to that portion of
such gain which is included in federal adjusted gross income.

(iv) The amount necessary to prevent the taxation under this act of
any annuity or other amount of income or gain which was properly in-
cluded in income or gain and was taxed under the laws of this state for a
taxable year prior to the effective date of this act, as amended, to the
taxpayer, or to a decedent by reason of whose death the taxpayer acquired
the right to receive the income or gain, or to a trust or estate from which
the taxpayer received the income or gain.

or measured by income or fees or payments in lieu of income taxes im-
posed by this state, or any taxing jurisdiction, to the extent included in
gross income for federal income tax purposes.

which were earned for being employed by the federal government or for
service in the armed forces of the United States.

mental annuity under the provisions of 45 U.S.C. 228b (a) and 228c (a)(1)
et seq.

employees of any board of such city as retirement allowances pursuant to
K.S.A. 13-14,106, and amendments thereto, or pursuant to any charter
ordinance exempting a city from the provisions of K.S.A. 13-14,106, and

corporation and which is not distributed to the stockholders as dividends
of the corporation.

amendments thereto.

tion by a partner which relates to items of income, gain, loss, deduction
