Summary
The Kansas House passed Senate Bill 18 to authorize a Hunter Nation distinctive license plate and allow a royalty of $25–$100. Debate centered on whether proceeds may fund 501(c)(4) advocacy; an amendment restoring broader use passed 75–43 and the bill was reported favorably.
The Kansas House on March 12 passed Senate Bill 18 authorizing a Hunter Nation distinctive license plate and allowing Hunter Nation Incorporated to set a royalty between $25 and $100 for initial issuance and renewal.
The bill’s authorizing language and a committee amendment prompted extended floor debate over whether revenue from the plate may be used by Hunter Nation’s 501(c)(4) advocacy arm. Representative Proctor moved an amendment to restore the bill to its original language, which would allow the organization greater latitude to use royalty funds; that amendment passed on a roll-call vote, 75–43. The House committee later reported the bill favorably for passage as amended and the Committee of the Whole reported SB 18 to the House as passed as amended.
