(MSC News)--The State of Kansas is introducing a new license plate style, one a release from the Kansas Department of Revenue calls "a highly anticipated new plate design."
According to the release, those new plates will be "the popular black-out style" and will be available to Kansas drivers to purchase from their local county treasurer's office beginning July 1.
Designed with an all-black background and sharp white lettering, the blackout plate adds what the release calls "a sleek and stylish plate design to the selection of distinctive license plates." Introduction of the design is in response to what the release identifies as "the increasing interest from Kansans in having a blackout-style plate option for their vehicles."
Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, in the release, says by introducing the new plates, following her constituent's requests, the State will give "Kansans more options on the road while still adhering to safe license plate requirements.”
The blackout plates will be available for standard passenger vehicles and motorcycles, with a one time-plate fee set at $40; an annual royalty fee of $50; and an optional personalization fee of $45.50.
The release notes that the royalty fee collected for the blackout plate will go to the License Plate Replacement Fund, and the funds will be used by the Department of Revenue to replace deteriorated license plates.
