Increasing the service charge fee for each license, permit, stamp or other issue of the department of wildlife and parks to an amount of not to exceed $2.00 and, in the case of each migratory waterfowl habitat stamp, an amount of not to exceed $1.00.
HB 2633 amends Kansas law to increase the maximum service charge fee for wildlife department licenses, permits, and stamps. It sets a new cap of $2.00 for most licenses and permits, while raising the cap for migratory waterfowl habitat stamps to $1.00 (from $0.50). This change affects individuals purchasing these items, such as hunters and anglers, but does not alter the base cost of the licenses themselves. The bill repeals the existing fee structure and specifies that collected fees follow standard state deposit procedures.

MINOR
The bill was amended to replace a fixed $1.00 service fee with a flexible fee structure that covers the actual cost of payment processing methods. This change allows the state to recover expenses for specific transactions like telephone or internet orders without setting a rigid dollar cap, while maintaining a lower fee limit for waterfowl stamps.
FISCAL
The fixed $1.00 service charge fee was removed and replaced with a variable fee designed to recover the actual costs incurred by the payment method used.
The fee cap for migratory waterfowl habitat stamps was increased from $0.50 to $1.00 plus the actual cost of the payment method.
REQUIREMENT
The language defining the fee structure was updated to explicitly include costs associated with non-standard payment methods like telephone or internet transactions.
