This bill amends K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 8-145 to increase the fees retained by the county treasurer, the division of vehicles, or a contractor for processing motor vehicle license applications and certificates of title. Specifically, the bill raises the amount retained from each license application from $0.75 to $5.75, from each application for transfer of license plate from $0.75 to $3.50, and from each application for a certificate of title from $2 to $3.50. Additionally, it establishes a new compensation structure for county treasurers based on the number of registrations processed, with a maximum additional annual compensation of $15,000.

The bill also includes provisions for the distribution of fees collected, specifying that certain amounts will be credited to various funds, including the Kansas highway patrol motor vehicle fund and the VIPS/CAMA technology hardware fund. It repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 8-145, indicating a complete overhaul of the previous fee structure and compensation guidelines. The act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
