This bill establishes a new program for distinctive license plates in Kansas, specifically for the organizations Pheasants Forever, Inc. and Quail Forever. Starting July 1, 2026, residents of Kansas who own or lease passenger vehicles or trucks weighing 20,000 pounds or less can apply for these specialized license plates. The application process requires compliance with existing registration laws and the payment of a logo use royalty fee, which will range from $25 to $100, as determined by Pheasants Forever, Inc. The funds from this fee will be paid to the county treasurer. The bill also stipulates that the license plates are non-transferable, although the director of vehicles may allow the transfer of plates from leased to purchased vehicles.

Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of Pheasants Forever, Inc. in designing the plates and managing the royalty payments, which must be paid annually for registration renewal. Applicants must consent to the release of their motor vehicle record information to Pheasants Forever, Inc. and the state treasurer as a condition for receiving the license plate. The bill emphasizes that the collection and remittance of these payments will adhere to existing laws regarding license plate fees.
