Bill > HB2122

This bill modifies vehicle registration fees and payment processes in Kansas, with a focus on trucks, truck tractors, and electric vehicles. The bill increases registration fees for various electric and electric hybrid vehicles, including motorcycles, passenger vehicles, and trucks with a gross weight of 12,000 pounds or less. It changes the threshold for quarterly payment of truck and truck tractor registration fees from $100 to $300, meaning only vehicles with annual fees exceeding $300 can be paid in quarterly installments. The bill eliminates the previous two-quarter grace period for delinquent quarterly payments, so if a quarterly payment is more than 10 days late, the entire annual registration fee plus a 10% penalty becomes immediately due. Additionally, the bill specifies that fees collected for electric vehicles will be distributed between the state highway fund and the special city and county highway fund. The changes are set to take effect on January 1, 2026, and will impact how vehicle owners register and pay for their vehicles, particularly those with electric or hybrid vehicles.
