This bill amends K.S.A. 8-1,125 to allow individuals with disabilities to be issued one special license plate for each vehicle they own, register, and operate. The bill specifies that satisfactory proof of disability must be submitted to the director of vehicles, which can include documentation from various licensed professionals. Additionally, it removes the requirement for individuals with disabilities to carry an identification card when parking in designated areas, streamlining the process for obtaining and using special license plates and placards.

The bill also clarifies that agencies or businesses providing transportation services for individuals with disabilities may obtain additional special license plates for their vehicles. It establishes that special license plates will be issued for the same duration as regular license plates without any additional fees. Furthermore, the bill mandates that all placards and identification cards must be returned upon the death of the individual with a disability, and it introduces penalties for violations related to the misuse of these items. The existing section of K.S.A. 8-1,125 is repealed, and the act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
