This bill amends existing Kansas statutes regarding motor vehicle license plates, specifically focusing on motorcycle license plates. It establishes that motorcycle license plates must contain a combination of not fewer than six letters or numbers, as opposed to the previous requirement of five. Additionally, the bill modifies the provisions for personalized license plates, allowing for a maximum of seven letters or numerals on passenger vehicle plates while maintaining the new six-character minimum for motorcycle plates. The bill also includes a $40 fee for personalized plates, which is applicable only once during the registration period.

Furthermore, the bill repeals certain existing sections of the law, specifically K.S.A. 8-172, K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 8-132, and K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 8-147, which may have contained outdated or conflicting provisions regarding license plate issuance and design. The changes aim to streamline the process and ensure that license plates are more easily identifiable and standardized across different vehicle types. The act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
