Insurer Response Requirements and Rebate Pilot Program Duration
Summary
Kansas SB23 requires insurance agents and insurers to respond to inquiries from the commissioner of insurance within 14 calendar days. The bill also authorizes certain rebate pilot programs to exceed one year in duration. The legislation passed both chambers with strong bipartisan support and has been enrolled for presentation to the Governor.
What changed
Kansas SB23 establishes a mandatory 14-day response requirement for insurance agents and insurers when responding to inquiries from the insurance commissioner. The bill also modifies existing provisions to allow certain rebate pilot programs to operate beyond the previous one-year duration limit.
Kansas-licensed insurers and insurance agents should update their compliance procedures to ensure timely responses to commissioner inquiries within the 14-day window. Entities offering or planning rebate pilot programs should review the extended duration allowances under the new law. Non-compliance with the commissioner's inquiries may result in regulatory enforcement actions.
What to do next
- Update internal procedures to track and respond to commissioner inquiries within 14 calendar days
- Review rebate pilot program operations for compliance with extended duration provisions
- Brief compliance staff on new response timeline requirements
