SESSION OF 2021
SUPPLEMENTAL NOTE ON HOUSE BILL NO. 2192
As Recommended by House Committee on
Corrections and Juvenile Justice

Brief*
HB 2192 would expand the list of proof of identity
documents accepted by the Division of Vehicles, Kansas
Department of Revenue (KDOR), for the issuance of a
replacement driver’s license to include a certification of
identification issued by a court services officer. The bill would
specify such certification could be issued by a supervising
agency to offenders under probation supervision of such
agency.
The bill would also make a technical amendment to
ensure consistency in statutory phrasing.

Background

Corrections and Juvenile Justice at the request of
Representative Jennings.
[Note: HB 2192 contains provisions similar to those of
2020 HB 2496, as recommended by the House Committee on

Sheriff and representatives of the American Civil Liberties
Union of Kansas and the Bert Nash Community Mental
Health Center. Proponents stated the issuance of
certifications of identification would help probationers access
employment, treatment, housing, and other benefits, which
would lower the rate of recidivism.
Written-only proponent testimony was provided by
representatives of the Douglas County Administrator, Douglas
County Criminal Justice Services, the Greater Kansas City
Chamber of Commerce, the Kansas Association of Court
Services Officers, the Kansas Department of Corrections
(KDOC), the Office of Judicial Administration (OJA), and
United Way of Douglas County.
No other testimony was provided.

Fiscal Information
According to the fiscal note prepared by the Division of
the Budget on the bill, OJA indicates enactment of the bill
would require court services officers to complete a form for
their probationers, which would require additional staff time;
however, the fiscal effect would be negligible. KDOC and
KDOR indicate enactment of the bill would have no fiscal
effect.
Any fiscal effect associated with the bill is not reflected
in The FY 2022 Governor’s Budget Report.
