Book excerpt: Groundwater Management Districts (GMDs) may continue, after March 1, 2000, to adopt local standards and policies as authorized by the Kansas Groundwater Management District Act as long as the standards and policies adopted are not of general application and do not have the effect of law. GMDs may also continue to develop local standards for submission to the Chief Engineer in accordance with New Section 12 of 1999 House Substitute for Senate Bill No. 287. For this reason the legislation does not conflict with the authority of GMDs to adopt and enforce local standards and policies pursuant to K.S.A. 82a-1028(n). The legislation requires consolidation into rule and regulation those standards and policies of general application which have the effect of law, and it voids those standards and policies not in compliance with this requirement.
