Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
No assigning home insurance benefits
Contractors and others cannot ask for or take an assignment of your post-loss home insurance benefits. Any such assignment is void. You may still assign to a federally insured bank, your mortgage lender, or a later buyer. The ban does not apply to liability coverage. The law also makes asking for or taking these assignments an unfair or deceptive act and an unfair claim practice, so insurers and service providers face enforcement.
Repeals a Kansas insurance statute
The law repeals K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 40-2404, removing that section from Kansas law. The repeal text does not state what replaces it or any direct consumer changes.
