Senate panel advances Route 66 Association of Kansas specialty license plate
Summary
The Senate Ways and Means Committee gave a favorable recommendation to Senate Bill 98, which would authorize a Route 66 Association of Kansas distinctive license plate subject to initial commitments and development costs.
The Senate Ways and Means Committee voted to give Senate Bill 98 a favorable recommendation, advancing a proposal to create a Route 66 Association of Kansas distinctive license plate.
Under the bill, supporters said, the association would meet the customary $250 initial plate commitment and would be responsible for up to $5,000 in development costs required by statute for distinctive plates. The bill would also allow the Route 66 Association of Kansas to set an annual local-use royalty fee between $25 and $100; the association would determine the final amount, and revenue from that fee would be directed as specified in the bill.
Adam, a committee staff member who briefed the panel, summarized the plate provisions and stood for questions. After brief comments, Senator Tyson moved that the committee “move out favorably and put [the bill] on the consent calendar.” Tyson later withdrew that motion and instead moved to pass the bill out favorably. The motion was seconded and the committee voice-voted the bill out with a favorable recommendation to the Senate floor.
The measure, as described to the committee, does not itself set the specific annual fee amount; the Route 66 Association of Kansas would choose an amount within the $25–$100 range prescribed in the bill. Committee members did not debate changes to the statutory fee structure during the discussion recorded in the transcript.
The committee chair closed the item and moved on to additional bills on the agenda.
