SB23 Insurance Bill - Commissioner Inquiry Responses and Rebate Pilot Programs
Summary
Kansas Governor signed SB23 into law on April 9, 2026. The bill requires insurance agents and insurers to respond to inquiries from the Kansas Insurance Commissioner within 14 calendar days. It also authorizes certain rebate pilot programs to exceed one year in duration. The legislation passed unanimously in both chambers.
What changed
SB23 adds new requirements for Kansas insurance agents and insurers regarding response timelines to the Insurance Commissioner. The bill establishes a 14-calendar-day response window for inquiries from the commissioner and provides authority for certain rebate pilot programs to operate beyond the standard one-year limitation.
Affected parties including insurance agents, insurers, and insurance companies conducting business in Kansas must implement procedures to ensure timely responses to commissioner inquiries. The extended rebate pilot program authorization provides greater flexibility for innovative insurance products and pricing structures. Compliance with the 14-day response requirement should be incorporated into existing regulatory correspondence processes.
What to do next
- Insurers and insurance agents must respond to Kansas Insurance Commissioner inquiries within 14 calendar days
- Review rebate pilot program eligibility for extended duration authorization
