Bill > HB2121

This bill modifies the annual license fees for electric and hybrid vehicles in Kansas, with the goal of generating additional revenue for highway infrastructure. Specifically, the bill adjusts fees for various types of electric and hybrid vehicles, including motorcycles, passenger vehicles, and trucks. For electric hybrid vehicles, the annual fee will decrease from $85 to $50, while plug-in electric hybrid vehicles will see an increase from $50 to $100. All-electric vehicles will now be charged $165 instead of $100. The bill also introduces a new $30 fee for all-electric motorcycles. Additionally, the bill specifies that a portion of these fees will be remitted to the state highway fund and the special city and county highway fund, ensuring that the revenue generated from these fees directly supports transportation infrastructure. The changes will take effect on January 1, 2026, providing advance notice to vehicle owners about the upcoming fee adjustments. By implementing these graduated fees for different types of electric and hybrid vehicles, the bill aims to balance the state's need for transportation funding with the growing adoption of alternative fuel vehicles.
