The bill establishes a new "blackout distinctive license plate" for residents of Kansas who own or lease passenger vehicles or trucks registered for a gross weight of 20,000 pounds or less, effective January 1, 2026. Each eligible owner or lessee may obtain one blackout license plate per vehicle, subject to the same registration period and fees as standard license plates. An annual fee of $50 will be charged for each blackout license plate, with provisions for personalized plates and the associated fees. The bill also outlines the application process and stipulates that these plates are non-transferable, although they can be transferred from a leased vehicle to a purchased vehicle.

Additionally, the bill creates a "license plate replacement fund" to be administered by the secretary of revenue, into which the fees collected from the blackout license plates will be deposited. This fund will be used exclusively for replacing exhausted license plates, with expenditures made according to appropriation acts. The bill also updates the publication requirement, changing it from the "statute book" to the "Kansas register."
