Kan. Stat. § 19-26,125

Current through 2024 Session Acts Chapter 111 and 2024 Special Session Acts Chapter 4
Section 19-26,125 - [Expires 7/1/2027] [Agricultural and agribusiness activity excluded]
(a) The legislature declares it is the policy of this state to protect and encourage the production and processing of food and other agricultural products. As nonagricultural uses of property continue to move into agricultural and agribusiness areas, normal agricultural and agribusiness activities can find themselves subjected to public and private claims of nuisance. Therefore, it is the legislative intent of this act to protect agricultural and agribusiness activities from nuisance actions. As such, nothing in the Riley county unincorporated area nuisance abatement act shall apply to land, structures, machinery and equipment or motor vehicles used for an agricultural activity or oil and gas exploration and development activity.
(b) For purposes of this section, the term "agricultural activity" means the same as defined in K.S.A. 2-3203, and amendments thereto, except such term shall also include real and personal property, machinery, equipment, stored grain and agricultural input products owned or maintained by commercial grain elevators and agribusiness facilities.
