KansasSB 119 proposed setting aside money from vehicle fees
Kansas SB 119 proposed setting aside part of certain vehicle application fees for processing costs, but it died in committee.
What it does
County treasurers, the state vehicle division, or its contractors would set aside part of certain vehicle application fees for necessary staff and processing costs. The text lists $5.75 for each license application, but its title-fee amounts are unclear.
Argument forMoney set aside from license fees could help county and state offices pay for the staff and costs needed to process applications.
Argument againstSetting aside more fee money for processing costs could leave less of those collections for state funds, including the highway fund.
More detail
County treasurers, the state vehicle division, or its contractors would put part of certain application fees into a fund for processing costs. The provision covers license applications, license plate transfers, and title applications handled by county treasurers, the state vehicle division, or its contractors. The fund could pay for necessary staff and costs tied to carrying out the law. The bill says it would take effect after publication in the statute book.
