The bill establishes a new distinctive license plate for the Route 66 Association of Kansas, which will be available to residents of Kansas who own or lease passenger vehicles or trucks registered for a gross weight of 20,000 pounds or less, starting January 1, 2026. Applicants can obtain one license plate per vehicle upon proper registration and payment of the regular license fee, along with a logo use royalty payment ranging from $25 to $100, as determined by the Route 66 Association of Kansas, Inc. The application process requires submission at least 60 days prior to the vehicle's registration renewal date, and the license plate is non-transferable, although it can be transferred from a leased vehicle to a purchased vehicle.

Additionally, the bill outlines that renewals of the license plate must occur annually, contingent upon the payment of the annual royalty fee to the county treasurer. The Route 66 Association of Kansas, Inc. will design the license plate with the approval of the director of vehicles, and applicants must consent to the release of their motor vehicle record information to the association and the state treasurer. The bill also specifies that the collection and remittance of the annual royalty payments will adhere to existing provisions in Kansas law. Finally, the act will take effect upon its publication in the Kansas Register, replacing the previous requirement for publication in the statute book.
