This bill amends K.S.A. 8-246 to streamline the process for obtaining a replacement driver's license in Kansas. It allows individuals who have lost or destroyed their driver's license, or who have changed their name, to obtain a replacement by providing satisfactory proof of the loss or name change, paying an $8 fee, and furnishing proof of identity. The bill specifies that proof of identity must include at least two documents, one of which must bear the person's signature and the other must indicate their age. Notably, the bill introduces the option for offenders under probation supervision to use an identification certificate issued by municipal court services agencies as valid proof of identity.

Additionally, the bill repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 8-246, which indicates a significant update to the law. The new language replaces the previous requirement for identification certificates issued by community corrections or similar agencies, thereby expanding the options available for individuals under municipal court supervision. The bill also includes provisions for waiving certain document requirements for individuals aged 65 or older and for inmates released on parole or after serving their maximum sentence. Overall, the bill aims to enhance accessibility and efficiency in the process of obtaining replacement driver's licenses.
