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 special fund for these fees to cover necessary expenses related to the administration of motor vehicle laws, while also detailing the compensation structure for county treasurers based on the number of registrations processed.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the remittance process for the collected fees, specifying how they should be distributed to various state funds, including the Kansas highway patrol motor vehicle fund and the VIPS/CAMA technology hardware fund. It also repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 8-145, indicating a complete overhaul of the previous provisions. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book.
