Text

The owner, operator or manager of any public warehouse before being licensed under the laws of this state to conduct a grain warehouse shall file with the secretary a schedule of charges to be made by such owner, operator or manager for storage of grain if licensed. The secretary shall have authority to determine whether such schedule of charges is reasonable and proper, but in no case shall such schedule of charges filed by a local public warehouse be less than the schedule of minimum charges or exceed the schedule of maximum charges as established by the secretary pursuant to the provisions of K.S.A. 34-125, and amendments thereto.
The amount to be charged for storage of grain as listed on the warehouseman's schedule of charges filed with the secretary as hereinabove provided shall include the cost of receiving, unloading, loading, insuring, handling (except extraordinary handling), storage and delivery of grain and no additional or special charge shall be made for any such services. Any licensee may change such licensee's schedule of charges by sending the proposed new schedule to the secretary in writing and shall state the reasons therefor. It shall be unlawful for any public warehouseman to assess any charge other than those charges listed in such warehouseman's schedule of charges as filed with the secretary. Every public warehouseman shall keep posted and exposed at a conspicuous place on the premises of such public warehouse, which place shall be accessible to the public, a copy of such warehouseman's current approved schedule of charges.
