Bill > HB2553

This bill establishes a distinctive license plate for PBS Kansas, a public telecommunications service, allowing eligible Kansas residents who own or lease passenger vehicles or trucks under 20,000 pounds to obtain one. Starting January 1, 2027, individuals can apply for these special plates by paying the standard registration fees, plus a "logo use royalty payment" of at least $25 and up to $100, determined by PBS Kansas, which goes to the county treasurer. The bill outlines the application process, noting that these plates are not transferable but can be transferred from a leased to a purchased vehicle by the director of vehicles, and specifies that annual renewals require continued payment of the royalty fee, otherwise, the standard registration process and plate return are mandated. PBS Kansas, with approval from the director of vehicles, will design the plate, and applicants must consent to the release of their motor vehicle record information, including name, address, and plate details, to PBS Kansas and the state treasurer as a condition of receiving and renewing the plate.
