Dear Senator Warren:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for SB 493 by Senate Committee on Judiciary
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning SB 493 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
SB 493 would require manufacturers of ignition interlock devices (IIDs) to pay the
Highway Patrol a one-time fee of $10 for each IID installed in Kansas on and after July 1, 2024,
and a monthly fee of $5 for each device in use and maintained by the manufacturer in Kansas. The
fees would not apply to devices installed for and used by people who are eligible for reduced IID
program costs. The bill would create the IID Fee Program Fund for the Highway Patrol to receive
and expend moneys related to administration of the IID program.

The Highway Patrol estimates that enactment of the bill would increase agency fee
revenues by $640,950 in both FY 2025 and FY 2026. The agency indicates that the bill would
support the addition of 6.00 new FTE positions required to oversee the installation and usage of
IIDs in Kansas. This would include 1.00 FTE supervisor position, 1.00 FTE vendor compliance
position, 2.00 FTE administrator positions, and 2.00 FTE offender reviewer positions. These
positions would be funded by the fees established in the bill, increasing agency expenditures by
$543,420 in both FY 2025 and FY 2026. According to the agency, there are 9,581 active IIDs in
Kansas, and 6,609 were installed in calendar year 2023. The Patrol is required to oversee
approximately 350 service centers to ensure compliance, resolve customer disputes related to IIDs,
and certify approximately 500 service technicians to provide proper installation of the devices.
Any fiscal effect associated with SB 493 is not reflected in The FY 2025 Governor’s Budget
Report.
Sincerely,
Adam C. Proffitt
