The Honorable Shannon Francis, Chairperson
House Committee on Transportation
300 SW 10th Avenue, Room 582-N
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Francis:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2479 by Representative Fairchild, et al.
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2479 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2479 would allow a first or second stage manufacturer or distributor that is licensed as
a vehicle dealer in Kansas to sell and service motor vehicles in Kansas. The bill would allow these
first or second stage manufacturers or distributors to act in the capacity of a new vehicle dealer or
dealership if no other vehicle dealer, factory branch, distributor branch, or distributor sells and
services the same line-make vehicles in Kansas.
The Department of Revenue indicates HB 2479 would require $1,400 from the State
General Fund in FY 2025 to implement the bill and to modify the motor vehicle license system.
The required programming for this bill by itself would be performed by existing staff of the
Department of Revenue. In addition, if the combined effect of implementing this bill and other
enacted legislation exceeds the Department’s programming resources, or if the time for
implementing the changes is too short, additional expenditures for outside contract programmer
services beyond the Department’s current budget may be required. Any fiscal effect associated
with HB 2479 is not reflected in The FY 2025 Governor’s Budget Report.


Sincerely,

Adam C. Proffitt
Director of the Budget
