The committee also discussed House Bill 2030 (exemptions for trailer dealers and manufacturers from provisions of the vehicle dealers and manufacturer licensing act) and House Bill 2031 (allowing out-of-state driving or motorcycle instructor licenses to qualify under state instructor licensing requirements). For the driving-instructor provision, negotiators agreed to keep the effective date listed in the Kansas Register to allow for summer-school instructor qualifications; for the trailer-dealer exemption staff noted the Senate amended only the effective date to the register and members discussed whether to run the change via concurrence or through a conference committee report.

On fee-timing alignment (House Bill 2122 / related), several members emphasized that a 10-day delinquency standard better aligns apportioned and nonapportioned collection and avoids duplicative computer-system changes. The committee recorded an agreement to pursue that alignment and to free a House bill shell by combining related registration items to expedite floor action.

Ending: Staff were directed to draft the necessary conference report language reflecting the 10-day delinquency alignment and to retain the driving-instructor effective date in the Kansas Register to allow summer use.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Conference Committee on Senate and House Transportation 03/24/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Committee members agreed to align the delinquency threshold for quarterly commercial vehicle registration payments to 10 days to match apportioned vehicles, discussed exemptions for trailer dealers and out-of-state driving instructors, and agreed to carry several of these small technical changes forward in conference reports.","taxTitle","Committee on Transportation , Standing, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Committees, Legislative, Kansas","taxId",18812,"location","Kansas","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6626510,"Senate Bill 9 discussion: committee reviews extension of filing deadlines for land-surveyor reports",1849,464000,2313000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2752818-d7ebd835392202700ee1b2d4229669e4&start=464&end=2313","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2752818-d7ebd835392202700ee1b2d4229669e4/thumbnail_464000.jpg","/articles/6626510/Kansas/Senate-Bill-9-discussion-committee-reviews-extension-of-filing-deadlines-for-land-surveyor-reports","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6626510-5908ef1f6c2e1a643f080e5d7cc9a19c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771123537&Signature=Jmnz9n8pIxPjwo6HBub9Me7rWacYQmFskcJVkfbBCooBULHAG9cZMOrGJVPb2Iad0eNkV0c7GJkvvbgdGbaCp0uu5TRhgaUm0go~W6pzvbL72JB-6OWwu3c9lIoXhYNuGM0olg11zkV8eJ1h9iHuRkBnXY390hgs3t9qdjoOp-bSJ0ygyi6Tm8XQevwcpyvJ-B4PkfmtHe50LffupNQDP8Ft0qur~UpXQP3Zvta5FIX9O645iJ~m3E4TTOmuahxTcqDkIdNtnwe~kA8VuYvnHyqEbMVb4XsttV~irk3~I7O3oBDvvF52BZME~yFd7OmuWCmVe5pdiTM4gJJt5PQANQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Committee staff summarized Senate Bill 9, which the Senate passed but was substantially changed in the House. Under the Senate version described in the committee, the bill would extend the filing deadline for land surveyors to file a reference report for each corner accessory and related restoration reports from 30 days to 90 days following a survey of the United States Public Land Survey system.

Staff told committee members the bill also contains provisions specifying where to file reports when a county surveyor is not available and that county commissions may designate an alternative county office for filings. The bill includes corollary deadlines that extend from 30 to 90 days when a survey corner or accessory is likely to be altered, removed, damaged or destroyed.

Committee members said they wanted a House shell for that work and planned to discuss insertion of the Senate contents into a House bill during conference. No formal amendment or final vote on the modified contents was recorded in the committee transcript; staff said they would try to move the Senate original contents into the agreed House bill shell for conference purposes.

Ending: Committee members asked staff to identify an appropriate House shell for the Senate contents and to return with draft conference language.","Committee staff summarized Senate Bill 9, which would extend filing deadlines for land surveyors’ reference and restoration reports for United States public land survey corners from 30 to 90 days and provide county filing alternatives where a county surveyor is not available.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6626515,"Committee negotiates higher registration fees for hybrids and electric trucks; negotiations continue on plug-in hybrid fee",1641,358000,1999000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2752818-d7ebd835392202700ee1b2d4229669e4&start=358&end=1999","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2752818-d7ebd835392202700ee1b2d4229669e4/thumbnail_358000.jpg","/articles/6626515/Kansas/Committee-negotiates-higher-registration-fees-for-hybrids-and-electric-trucks-negotiations-continue-on-plug-in-hybrid-fee","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6626515-8e728401a0ae35978a54018f5b03d2ff/orig.mp4?Expires=1771123537&Signature=TtelYe5LwfjD0zt2NPSGEvb7-Fvjr1-DS9EoeRSO130iSLVh3nwWQxF83W9jGSiqY77vqabFkDl0rdo-2VGUhfFqAR~LORF8wLcTCalotDCKlDP5EpnjRZTMXDT9sXjwRP-6ju~vFOmTEliI8A-yjkfUPtKORE~pmmySzb4w94onK2QaWsIjWQnwQNAvI1qpPb6VPBlslWA~a1XTnhGi~B~K0~BUC39irw0XGVtjZvAKCvM0H8Dr1P6pXiGofBQCUGwY1AaoApB4YG6ppF0q4IbR-RblaDEpTUj56pD7jhIoj1jfxBj3JAH4o3QZYYtlbe4CTD3Go86XH681OSbnoA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Committee negotiators discussed House Bill 2121, which would change registration fees for plug-in hybrid and all-electric vehicles and add fees for electric trucks and truck tractors.

As the House left it, plug-in hybrid fees were $100 and all-electric fees were $165. The Senate had suggested different numbers and inserted an $85 fee for a category described in discussion as “regular electric hybrids” (vehicles with smaller batteries and a starter motor). Committee discussion focused on finding compromise fees that preserve highway funding as vehicles become more fuel-efficient.

Members emphasized that improved fuel efficiency and the growing number of hybrids/electric vehicles erode fuel-tax revenue and that registration fees are one tool to offset that. The committee explored several fee-level options; one member suggested $65 for regular electric hybrids as a compromise. Staff reported that no updated fiscal note from the Department of Revenue was available; legislative research staff Jill Shelley estimated that increasing the hybrid fee by $15 for roughly 45,000 hybrid-electric vehicles would raise about $677,000 in revenue, and she said there were about 3,148 fully electric vehicles counted in the earlier fiscal data.

Negotiators also noted fee proposals for trucks and truck tractors: plug-in hybrid truck/tractor fees moving from $40 to $125 and all-electric truck fees to $200. Members discussed concerns from automotive manufacturers and testimony the committee received when setting the numbers. No final numeric agreement was recorded; members agreed to continue negotiations with the goal of finding a level that would pass both chambers and not imperil other parts of the vehicle-fee package.

Ending: Committee members asked staff to refine fiscal numbers, preserve their ability to save a Senate bill shell for the Hunter Nation plate, and continue negotiations with the aim of finalizing fee numbers before the next floor session.","Members debated increases to fees for plug-in hybrid and all-electric vehicles, including higher fees for electric trucks and tractors; negotiators discussed raising the plug-in-hybrid fee from $50 to between $60 and $85 and asked staff for fiscal estimates.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6626520,"Senators, Representatives Agree to Consolidate Multiple distinctive license-plate bills; Hunter Nation plate to be handled separately",1096,8000,1104000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2752818-d7ebd835392202700ee1b2d4229669e4&start=8&end=1104","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2752818-d7ebd835392202700ee1b2d4229669e4/thumbnail_8000.jpg","/articles/6626520/Kansas/Senators-Representatives-Agree-to-Consolidate-Multiple-distinctive-license-plate-bills-Hunter-Nation-plate-to-be-handled-separately","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6626520-2113720d3b623f0d53dd01d8fbf5cafe/orig.mp4?Expires=1771123537&Signature=Hys7B62YDqw7NIiNdvSr2Qh5izRaY66BPpLmoYu82ld7N9fN~ngWdsvEZiU8um8wbXH~P9fdulVxIPGlXyXXEFxoNX-d1KkcNep1-lAMXDzmkkc93gDqiMtZoZ-IWvBvYfLGTd0DnGCB38a9jXMfpM~grHUS8LgRe~xf3hWFhYSd7s9F4u-YdvJyMVGG5eSJlfI7dYRn2Qk-vJ32vbyFf6qcsfRwbTH0qnSpbqRADxEGrUFMFnCjHcUeuCNMA9YrUNJ37Oc6C50rPnVjVlvqj18uD81DHeCuFnYs6-WJzgn4nOv6jGXd6BqActd7T8sSoMJX2Htd1j95JHTJ1HPndw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Negotiators for the Committee on Transportation agreed to consolidate several distinctive license-plate bills into one House statutory vehicle while handling the Hunter Nation plate as a separate Senate concurrence.

Committee staff outlined that Senate Bill 18 would remain a separate Senate motion for concurrence, while the contents of Senate Bill 98 (Route 66 Association plate) and multiple House measures for distinctive plates would be inserted into House Bill 2201 (the FFA plate bill) and sent to the statute book as the effective date. The group recorded that the House had already appointed conferees for several of the House plates and that some Senate conferees still needed appointment.

The consolidation was proposed to reduce the number of shells required and to move multiple simple naming and beneficiary designations onto the statute book together. Committee members discussed the Hunter Nation plate specifically: opposition in the House centered on whether payments would go to a 501(c)(4) organization rather than a charitable foundation, which prompted some members to ask for a standalone vote on that plate so members could record an up-or-down vote. Other negotiators said the House as a whole had adopted the position returning proceeds to Hunter Nation Inc. and preferred to keep the Senate shell for that bill.

As negotiated, the Senate would make a separate motion to concur on Senate Bill 18; Senate Bill 98 and the House distinctive-plate measures (identified in committee as House Bill 2168 and House Bill 2169, among others) would be inserted into House Bill 2201 and the conference committee report would specify “statute book” as the effective date. Committee staff said design work for plates would likely require more time but that the consolidation would expedite floor time.

The agreements were restated at the meeting’s close to confirm that (1) the Senate would file a concurrence motion on Senate Bill 18 and (2) contents of the other identified plates would be merged into House Bill 2201 and sent to the statute book effective date via the conference report.

Ending: Committee members set follow-up to prepare the necessary conference report language and to appoint any remaining conferees before floor consideration.","Committee negotiators agreed to move most distinctive license-plate measures into a single House bill for insertion into the statutes and to handle Senate Bill 18 (Hunter Nation plate) through a separate Senate concurrence after disagreement over beneficiary language.","actionData","errors"]
