KS HB2043

Insurance agents and insurers must respond to inquiries from the Kansas Insurance Commissioner within 14 calendar days when the inquiry concerns a complaint or matter related to a particular issue

Rebate pilot or testing programs for value-added products and services may be extended beyond the initial one-year limit if the insurer or producer cannot determine within that period whether the product or service meets statutory criteria

Amends K.S.A. 40-2404 (unfair and deceptive acts or practices) and K.S.A. 40-4909 (license denial, suspension, or revocation grounds) to incorporate the 14-day response requirement

Failure to respond within the 14-day timeframe constitutes grounds for disciplinary action against a licensed insurance agent, including potential license denial, suspension, or revocation

Takes effect upon publication in the Kansas Register
