The bill amends K.S.A. 8-1016 to establish a fee structure for manufacturers of ignition interlock devices, which are required for individuals whose driving privileges have been restricted. Manufacturers will be responsible for paying a one-time fee of $10 for each device installed in Kansas after July 1, 2025, as well as a monthly fee of $5 for each device in use, unless the user qualifies for reduced program costs. The bill also creates the IID fee program fund, which will be used to fund the administration, oversight, and monitoring of the ignition interlock program.

Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of manufacturers regarding the calibration and maintenance of the devices, as well as the reporting requirements to the highway patrol. It provides a process for individuals to request reduced costs for the ignition interlock program based on income eligibility criteria. The bill repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 8-1016 and ensures that the rules and regulations previously established by the secretary of revenue remain effective until amended. The act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
