Kansas officials propose new charges to fund water rights administration and related programs as state faces a budget shortfall. A $20 annual fee per water right would be paired with higher fees for water right services, pesticide and dairy licensing, weights inspections, and greenhouse licenses. Large farms would bear the heaviest costs while some decreases and repeals are planned. House committee set to hear the package January 16, with worries about program cuts and potential closures by July if funding is not found.
