"HB 2169 was requested by the Division of Vehicles and would change the definition and documentation requirements for issuing a veteran license plate. ... This proposal will make it so the requirements for getting the "veteran" designator on a driver's license and getting a military license plate are the same. Finally, the bill would remove the requirement for veterans to submit an application for a military license plate 60 days prior to their registration renewal. This provision is no longer required for license plates since license plates are now digitally printed. This change would make it simpler for veterans who wish to obtain a military license plate since the definition and documentation requirements would be standard across statute.

Other titles: Relating to Speeding 100 MPH+ and 35 MPH+ Relating to Speeding One Hundred Miles per Hour plus and Thirty-Five Miles per Hour plus
No full text"February 5, 2025."
Testimony before the Kansas Legislature, Senate Transportation Committee, presented by Catherine Magaña, Legislative Liaison, Kansas Department of Transportation.Testimony in support of SB 113. "KDOT supports this bill as it relates to safety on our roadways. Safety for the traveling public is a priority at KDOT. Speeding puts the lives of everyone on Kansas roadways at risk, including our KDOT workforce, law enforcement and other first responders who are out working on our roads daily. Traveling at higher speeds decreases a driver’s reaction time, resulting in an increased likelihood of a vehicle crash. These higher speeds also increase the likelihood that those involved in a crash, including drivers and passengers, will sustain more severe injuries, including fatalities. KDOT strives to improve the safety and quality of life for the traveling public. This bill will change the definition of reckless driving to include driving 100+ mph, or 35+ mph than the posted speed limit. Drivers convicted of excessive speeding will face jail time and/or fines and these penalties will increase for subsequent offenses. These additional penalties are meant to hold offenders accountable and be a strong deterrent to drivers that are driving above the posted speed limit and putting themselves and everyone else on the road at risk.

Testimony before the Kansas Legislature, Senate Committee on Ways and Means, presented by Cory Davis, Director of Multimodal Transportation and Innovation, Kansas Department of Transportation.Testimony in support of SB 86.

Passenger rail service can also act as a catalyst for economic development and business growth to further stimulate the Kansas economic engine. This service will provide an important linkage between Kansas and our partner states to the south, Oklahoma and Texas and connects to a national passenger rail service, The Southwest Chief, operated between Chicago and Los Angeles running through Kansas. Should additional routes providing passenger rail services be established in Kansas, the state would follow the rules and regulations tied to State Supported Passenger Rail Services.
