The Honorable Brenda Dietrich, Chairperson
Senate Committee on Financial Institutions and Insurance
300 SW 10th Avenue, Room 546-S
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Senator Dietrich:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for SB 23 by Senate Committee on Financial Institutions and
Insurance
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning SB 23 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
SB 23 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
