Kansas legislation would restrict deadbeat parents' driving privileges

In its original version as passed by the House, the measure would have completely revoked the licenses of such parents. However, the Senate made changes that would allow parents with these restricted licenses to drive their vehicles: to and from work or school; in emergencies; and to transport their children.
Father’s rights advocates contend this law unfairly targets men, because they are usually the parents who pay support. Still, more stern legislation appears to be on the horizon as a House-Senate conference committee is currently considering a bill that would suspend the hunting and fishing licenses of such parents.
