HB 2585 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Providing for the delta waterfowl distinctive license plate.

HB 2585 would create a special "delta waterfowl" license plate for Kansas residents who own or lease eligible passenger vehicles or trucks (under 20,000 pounds gross weight). To obtain the plate, owners must pay an annual fee of $25 to $100 (set by Delta Waterfowl) in addition to standard registration fees. The collected fees would support Delta Waterfowl's conservation work, and the plate is non-transferable, requiring annual renewal with the fee payment.

FISCAL
