Committee advances bill to relax timing and documentation for military license plates
Summary
The Kansas Senate Committee on Transportation advanced House Bill 2169 to remove a 60-day timing requirement for military license plate applications and to clarify acceptable documentation of veteran status; the committee adopted an amendment changing the effective date to publication in the register and voted the bill favorably out of committee.
The Kansas Senate Committee on Transportation advanced House Bill 2169, which would amend statutes governing military license plates by removing a requirement that applicants apply at least 60 days before their registration date and by clarifying acceptable documentation of veteran status.
A committee staff briefing described the changes: the bill deletes the 60-day-advance-application requirement and clarifies that both honorable discharge and discharge under honorable conditions qualify for the plates. It also expands acceptable documentation to include a DD214, a veteran designation on a Kansas driver's license or other documentation as provided by the director of vehicles.
Committee members adopted an amendment to make the bill effective upon publication in the register; the amendment passed by voice vote. Sen. Corson moved that the committee pass HB 2169 as amended favorably for passage; the motion was seconded by Sen. Dietrich and approved by voice vote. The transcript records no roll-call tally.
Committee members offered brief procedural remarks about carrying the bill to the floor and adjourned after processing the two bills on the committee's agenda.
