TOPEKA | Lawmakers have passed a bill requiring Kansans to provide photo identification when they vote &#8212; starting in 2010 &#8212; but some Democrats expect a veto from Gov. Kathleen Sebelius.</p><p>The governor&#8217;s office was noncommittal about House Bill 2019, but Rep. Tom Sawyer of Wichita said he expected Sebelius to veto voter ID as she has in the past.</p><p>The bill sailed through the Senate 27-3, but the House vote was 67-56, far short of a veto-proof majority. The legislation exempts people with disabilities, voters 65 and older and active-duty military personnel and their families.</p><p><strong>Vehicle fees: </strong>It will cost a little more to obtain a license plate or renewal sticker under a bill approved Wednesday.</p><p>The bill will add $4 to the current $35 license registration fee starting Jan. 1, raising $10 million next year. It will pay for a new computer system that will do a better job of tracking vehicles.</p><p>Sen. Les Donovan, a Wichita Republican, said law enforcement agencies, for example, have a hard time tracking partial license-plate numbers. Also, revenue officials would be able to tell whether someone was attempting to evade registering a vehicle and avoid property tax payments.</p><p><strong>Nuclear energy:</strong> Lawmakers have sent to the governor a bill allowing utilities to recover from ratepayers the cost of planning for a nuclear-power-generating facility.</p><p>The House approved it on a 101-22 vote, and the Senate endorsed it a few minutes later, 29-3.</p><p>Supporters say the bill is needed if utilities are going to seriously consider nuclear power. Opponents said it will mean higher bills for customers.</p><p>The measure also gives the Kansas Corporation Commission oversight over any nuclear proposal.</p><p><hr class="infobox-hr-separator" /> <div class="infobox"> Legislators passed a budget and adjourned late Wednesday. | A1</p><p></div>
