Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 2 mixed.
Direct delivery for digitally fulfilled plates
State manufacturing contracts must require digitally fulfilled license plate orders to ship directly to the customer. These orders go to the person receiving the plate rather than only through the county treasurer.
Easier military plate access for veterans
Military plates are available to qualifying Kansas residents who own or lease an eligible vehicle. Covered service includes the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Space Force and merchant marines. Veterans must have an honorable discharge or a general discharge under honorable conditions and provide proof of qualifying service. Accepted proof includes a Kansas driver's license with a veteran designation, DD Form 214, NGB Form 22 or an approved equivalent discharge document. Covered service members and veterans use the director's application form and no longer face the 60-day advance deadline before registration renewal.
Drivers limited to one personalized plate
Eligible owners and lessees can get only one personalized plate instead of two. This rule covers passenger vehicles and trucks licensed at 20,000 pounds or less. Applicants apply to the Division of Vehicles at registration renewal and pay the existing $40 personalized-plate fee. The single plate goes on the rear of the vehicle.
New blackout plates cost $50 yearly
Beginning January 1, 2026, Kansas residents can get one blackout plate per eligible vehicle they own or lease. Eligible vehicles are passenger vehicles and trucks registered at 20,000 pounds or less. The plate costs $50 each year, plus regular registration fees and the applicable new-plate fee; personalization carries an added fee. County treasurers send the annual blackout fees to a new state replacement fund managed by the secretary of revenue. Spending requires legislative approval and can only cover replacement costs after the director of vehicles determines plates have worn out.
New supporter plates carry annual royalties
Beginning January 1, 2026, Kansas residents can get FFA or Route 66 plates for vehicles they own or lease. Eligible vehicles are passenger vehicles and trucks registered at 20,000 pounds or less, with one specialty plate per vehicle. Each sponsor sets an annual logo royalty of $25 to $100, paid in addition to regular registration fees. Applicants use the required form and consent to sharing their name, address, royalty amount, plate number and vehicle type with the sponsor and state treasurer. Plates cannot transfer to another person, but the director can move a plate from a leased vehicle to one the applicant buys.
