Dear Representative Humphries:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2322 by House Committee on Judiciary
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2322 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2322 would prohibit a law enforcement officer or law enforcement agency from
engaging in motorcycle profiling. A person aggrieved by a violation of the bill could file a
complaint with the Attorney General or could file an action in district court. If the Attorney
General finds that the law enforcement officer or agency has engaged in motorcycle profiling, then
it would require the officer or agency to participate in additional training relating to motorcycle
profiling. A person could also recover actual and punitive damages, injunctive relief, and any
attorney costs. The bill would require a law enforcement agency to adopt detailed, written policies,
outline disciplinary actions, and require officers to participate in annual training related to
motorcycle profiling.

Page 2—HB 2322
The Office of the Attorney General states that enactment of the bill would require 2.00
positions at a cost of $240,066 for FY 2026 and $252,069 in FY 2027 from the State General Fund.
Of the amount for FY 2026, $60,839 would be for 1.00 Investigator position, $133,905 would be
for 1.00 Assistant Attorney General position, and $45,322 would be for operating expenditures.
The agency estimates a 5.0 percent increase in expenses from FY 2026 to FY 2027.
The Office of Judicial Administration states that the bill could increase the number of cases
filed in district court because it creates a civil cause of action. This would increase the time spent
by district court judicial and nonjudicial personnel in processing, researching, and hearing cases.
The bill could also increase the collection of docket fees that would be deposited into the State
General Fund. However, the Office cannot determine a precise fiscal effect of the bill.
The Kansas Highway Patrol states that the bill would have no fiscal effect. Any fiscal
effect associated with HB 2322 is not reflected in The FY 2026 Governor’s Budget Report.
The League of Kansas Municipalities and the Kansas Association of Counties state that the
bill would increase operating costs for cities and counties because the bill would require law
enforcement agencies to develop, implement, and train officers on motorcycle profiling. However,
the League and Association cannot estimate a precise fiscal effect.
Sincerely,
Adam C. Proffitt
Director of the Budget
