The 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 outlines a new compensation structure for county treasurers based on the number of registrations processed, with a maximum additional annual compensation of $15,000.

Furthermore, the bill repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 8-145, indicating a significant overhaul of the current fee structure and compensation for services related to motor vehicle registrations and titles. The changes aim to provide more financial resources to the county treasurers and contractors involved in these processes, ensuring they are adequately compensated for their administrative duties. The act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
