• House Substitute for Senate Bill No. 347 (2022 Kansas Legislature), Enrolled -- New Sec. 14 (separate application/agreement cutoff) statute two-reviewer

  “New Sec. 14. The secretary of commerce shall not consider a new application, proceed with an application that has been submitted or enter into any agreement with a qualified firm or qualified supplier pursuant to section 2, and amendments thereto, on and after May 1, 2024.”

  p.18 (New Sec. 14)

  CONFLICT (flagged on the instrument row, not resolved here): this New Sec. 14 cutoff (May 1, 2024, covering firms AND suppliers) differs from New Sec. 2(c)(5)'s cutoff (Dec. 31, 2023, covering firms only) quoted in the source row above -- both appear in the same enrolled bill and both are reproduced verbatim rather than reconciled.

• House Sub. for SB 347 (2022), Enrolled -- New Sec. 2(c)(7): repayment, forfeiture and suspension on breach statute two-reviewer

  “(7) commit to repayment of any benefit or benefits received, connected to or associated with a term or a condition of the agreement that has been breached as determined by the secretary and to the forfeiture of any such earned benefits and the suspension or cessation of such future benefits for as long as the breach is not corrected.”

  p.5 of the enrolled bill (New Sec. 2(c)(7)); codified at K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 74-50,312(c)(7)

  [KS GATE 2026-08-20] Added by verifier, and it corrects the instrument. exit_terms cited "New Sec. 9" and said the section had not been pulled; New Sec. 9 is the sales tax exemption (codified at K.S.A. 74-50,319). This is the clawback.
