8-1,148. Children's trust fund license plates; procedures; requirements. (a) On and after July 1, 1999, any owner or lessee of one or more passenger vehicles or trucks registered for a gross weight of not more than 20,000 pounds who is a resident of Kansas, upon compliance with the provisions of this section, may be issued one children's trust fund license plate for each such passenger vehicle or truck. Such license plates shall be issued for the same time as other license plates upon proper registration and payment of the regular license fee as provided in K.S.A. 8-143, and amendments thereto, and the presentation of the annual logo use authorization statement provided for in subsection (b).

(b) The advisory committee on children and families established in K.S.A. 38-1901, and amendments thereto, may authorize the use of their logo to be affixed on license plates as provided by this section. Any royalty payment to such committee derived from this section shall be credited to the family and children trust account of the family and children investment fund, established in K.S.A. 38-1808, and amendments thereto, and, shall be used in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (2) of subsection (c) of K.S.A. 38-1808, and amendments thereto. Any motor vehicle owner or lessee may annually apply to the committee for the use of such logo. Upon annual application and payment to the committee in an amount of not less than $25 nor more than $100 as a logo use royalty payment for each children's trust fund plate to be issued, the committee shall issue to the motor vehicle owner or lessee, without further charge, a logo use authorization statement, which shall be presented by the motor vehicle owner or lessee at the time of registration.

(c) Any applicant for a children's trust fund license plate may make application for such plates not less than 60 days prior to such person's renewal of registration date, on a form prescribed and furnished by the director of motor vehicles, and any applicant for the children's trust fund license plates shall provide the annual logo use authorization statement provided for in subsection (b). Application for registration of a passenger or truck and issuance of the license plate under this section shall be made by the owner or lessee in a manner prescribed by the director of vehicles upon forms furnished by the director.

(d) No registration or children's trust fund license plate issued under this section shall be transferable to any other person.

(e) Renewals of registration under this section shall be made annually, upon payment of the fee prescribed in subsection (a), in the manner prescribed in subsection (b) of K.S.A. 8-132, and amendments thereto. No renewal of registration shall be made to any applicant until such applicant provides the annual logo use authorization statement provided for in subsection (b). If such logo use authorization statement is not presented at the time of registration, the applicant shall be required to comply with K.S.A. 8-143, and amendments thereto, and return the children's trust fund license plate to the county treasurer of such person's residence.

(f) The advisory committee on children and families shall:

(1) Pay the initial cost of silk-screening for such children's trust fund license plates; and

(2) provide to all county treasurers a toll-free telephone number where applicants can call the children's trust fund for information concerning the application process or the status of their license plate application.

(g) The advisory committee on children and families, with the approval of the director of vehicles and subject to the availability of materials and equipment, shall design a plate to be issued under the provisions of this section.
