(a) Any new coal-fired electricity generating facility in Kansas, construction of which commences on or after the effective date of this act, shall purchase Kansas coal for at least 5% of its coal requirements.

(b) The provisions of this section shall apply if the cost of the Kansas coal, including costs of transportation and handling at the new coal-fired electricity generating facility, is:

(2) sold on comparable contractual terms and specification; and
(3) of an acceptable quality for use in the new coal-fired electricity generating facility.
This section shall not apply if the use or purchase of Kansas coal will result in the owner or operator of the new coal-fired electricity generating facility violating its air permit or a contractual obligation to which the owner or operator is subject.
