SB 113 Kansas Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Including operating a motor vehicle at a speed of 35 miles per hour over the posted speed limit under the crime of reckless driving.

SB 113 amends Kansas law to expand the definition of reckless driving to include operating a vehicle at 100 mph or more, or 35 mph over the posted speed limit. This change directly affects drivers who exceed these specific speed thresholds, making such violations punishable as reckless driving under K.S.A. 8-1566. The bill retains existing misdemeanor penalties: fines of $25-$500 and/or jail time (5-90 days for first offenses, 10 days-6 months for repeat offenses). It replaces the current language in K.S.A. 8-1566 with this new definition and repeals the prior statute.
