Dear Representative Francis:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2482 by Representative Dodson
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2482 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2482 would create the Fort Riley 1st Infantry Division distinctive license plate. The
bill would allow any Kansas resident who is the owner of a passenger vehicle or truck of a gross
weight of 20,000 pounds or less, or motorcycle to be issued one Fort Riley 1st Infantry Division
distinctive license plate for each vehicle on and after January 1, 2025. The bill would require the
owner of the vehicle to submit satisfactory proof to the Director of Vehicles at the Department of
Revenue that they are currently serving in any unit of the 1st Infantry Division, the Fort Riley
garrison or a unit assigned to the Fort Riley garrison or has separated from the United States
military, was honorably discharged and served an assignment of at least nine months in any unit
of the 1st Infantry Division, the Fort Riley garrison or any unit assigned to the Fort Riley garrison.
The distinctive license plate would be issued upon proper registration and payment of the regular
license fee.
The Department of Revenue estimates the enactment of HB 2482 would increase its
expenditures by $4,780 in FY 2025 for administrative costs related to designing and manufacturing
the new license plate. The Department would not collect the up to $5,000 fee for plate
development since there is no required sponsor fee. The Department indicates that the license
plate would be subject to $40 special plate application fee but would not be subject to the $40
personalized plate application fee if the applicant chose to personalize the license plate. Any fiscal
effect associated with HB 2482 is not reflected in The FY 2025 Governor’s Budget Report.
Sincerely,
Adam C. Proffitt
Director of the Budget
