HB 2617 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Providing that motorcycle license plates shall contain a combination of not fewer than six letters or numerals.

HB 2617 amends Kansas law to require motorcycle license plates to display a minimum of six letters or numbers (previously five) for personalized plates. This change directly affects motorcycle owners who apply for personalized plates, requiring them to select combinations meeting the new six-character minimum. The bill updates specific sections of Kansas law (K.S.A. 8-132 and 8-147) to reflect this requirement, without altering fees or other plate design rules. The policy change focuses solely on the character length for motorcycle personalized plates.
