Shorter response deadlines for insurance professionals
Kansas insurance agents and public adjusters must answer covered inquiries from the insurance commissioner within 14 calendar days. This deadline covers inquiries about complaints under Kansas insurance law or a particular matter. Missing the deadline is grounds for license discipline. Other inquiries keep the existing 15-business-day deadline.
Out-of-state agents face new licensing rules
Kansas can revoke an out-of-state agent's license 30 days after receiving notice that the agent lost their home-state license. No advance notice or hearing is required. The commissioner must notify the agent within 30 days after revocation. For these revocations, the commissioner can waive the two-year wait before the agent reapplies. A waiver does not guarantee a new license.
Some outside insurers get entry exemptions
Some insurers based outside Kansas are exempt from certain entry requirements, including an examination-report requirement. Eligible companies include subsidiaries or affiliates with substantially the same management as an insurer already admitted to Kansas. Companies continuing after a merger or consolidation also qualify. The exemption also covers companies whose admission the commissioner finds serves the public interest. These exemptions ease entry requirements but reduce the examination information Kansas requires.
