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 2631 by Representative Butler, et al.
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2631 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2631 would require the Kansas Turnpike Authority (KTA) to establish a toll exemption
program for current members of the armed forces whose orders direct a permanent place of duty
within Kansas. The program would exempt those members from all tolls associated with a
person’s vehicle used on any turnpike where tolls are collected. The KTA would provide an
application process and adopt rules and regulations to carry out the provisions of the bill. Upon
completion of an application and providing satisfactory proof to the KTA of a person’s orders, the
KTA would authorize the person to register one vehicle that would be exempt from tolls.
The bill would not have a fiscal effect on state revenues or expenditures. However, the
KTA’s revenues would decrease since armed forces members in Kansas would no longer be paying
tolls. The revenue loss cannot be estimated.

Sincerely,

Adam C. Proffitt
Director of the Budget
