Dear Representative Proehl:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2095 by Representative Finney
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2095 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2095 would create an Alpha Kappa Alpha distinctive license plate. The bill would
allow any Kansas resident who is the owner of a passenger vehicle or truck of a gross weight of
20,000 pounds to be issued one Alpha Kappa Alpha license plate for each vehicle on and after
January 1, 2020. The distinctive plate would be issued upon proper registration and payment of
the regular license fee as provided in KSA 8-143, and either (1) payment to the county treasurer
of the logo use royalty payment established by the Alpha Kappa Alpha Royalty Fund, or (2)
presentation of the annual logo use authorization statement.
The Alpha Kappa Alpha Royalty Fund would be authorized to allow their logo to be affixed
on license plates upon payment of a logo use royalty payment of at least $25, but no more than
$100 for each license plate. The payment would be issued to the Alpha Kappa Alpha Royalty
Fund or the county treasurer. Annual royalty payments collected by county treasurers would be
remitted to the State Treasurer and credited to the Alpha Kappa Alpha Royalty Fund.

The Department of Revenue estimates HB 2095 would increase its expenditures by $5,532
in FY 2020, for administrative costs related to designing and manufacturing the new plate. The
Department estimates the bill would increase revenues to the State Highway Fund by $20,000 from
a $40 personalized plate fee, which assumes an initial issuance of 500 license plates (500 plates x
$40 = $20,000). In addition, the Department estimates the bill would increase revenues to the
Distinctive License Plate Fund from a $20,000 nonrefundable fee required from the sponsor of a
new distinctive license plate, which is used to defray the cost to develop the new plate. Any fiscal
effect associated with HB 2095 is not reflected in The FY 2020 Governor’s Budget Report.


Sincerely,

Larry L. Campbell
Director of the Budget
