The Honorable William Sutton, Chairperson
House Committee on Insurance
300 SW 10th Avenue, Room 218-N
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Sutton:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2043 by House Committee on Insurance
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2043 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2043 would require an agent or insurer to respond to inquiries from the Insurance
Department within 14 days concerning a complaint or inquiry of unfair or deceptive acts or
practices. The Insurance Commissioner could also deny, suspend, revoke, or refuse renewal if the
agent or insurer fails to respond to a complaint or inquiry. The bill would also allow an insurer or
producer to request the Insurance Commissioner to extend the testing period of certain rebate pilot
programs beyond one year.
The Kansas Department of Insurance states that the bill would not have a fiscal effect.
Sincerely,
Adam C. Proffitt
Director of the Budget
