29 May KARB Maximum Reimbursement Limit Increased
In 2024, the Kansas legislature passed House Bill 2477 to amend the Remediation Reimbursement Program statutes. The bill increased the maximum amount an eligible person may receive in reimbursement from the Remediation Reimbursement Fund to $300,000 per location.
In addition, the Kansas Agricultural Remediation Board has now amended board regulation K.A.R. 125-1-7 to remove a separate reimbursement limit. The new maximum reimbursement limit will become effective on June 13, 2025.
All new applications to the remediation reimbursement program will be subject to the new maximum reimbursement limit. In addition, any eligible person who previously submitted a reimbursement application and was denied reimbursement of otherwise eligible expenses, due to having reached the previous maximum reimbursement for that location, may now resubmit that previous application for consideration of the previously denied expenses. Any such resubmission should be submitted with only those invoices that were submitted in the previous application and shall not include any new or additional invoices.
Expenses may be eligible for reimbursement, up to the new maximum reimbursement limit, when included on invoices that meet all other eligibility requirements and are dated no more than two years prior to the effective date of K.A.R. 125-1-7, as amended (June 13, 2023).
