The 2.5 million registered vehicles in Kansas will soon get a new look-at least from the rear. In January 2001, the Division of Vehicles will begin issuing tags featuring a new design. Governor Bill Graves is scheduled to unveil the new plate on Friday, September 15, at the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson. The plate features an image of the state capitol under a blue sky, with golden stalks of wheat waving in the foreground.
Agriculture is our legacy and leadership is our responsibility.
Representatives from all corners of this great state come together under the capitol's dome to create a government that serves and protects all our common interests. The 2001 design marks the third multi-year plate in state history. Other designs were released in 1988 and 1994. Prior to 1988, new plates were issued annually. The new plates are scheduled to be issued in mid-January.
