Proffitt, Director Laura Kelly, Governor Division of the Budget January 22, 2025 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 24 by Senate Committee on Financial Institutions and Insurance In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning SB 24 is respectfully submitted to your committee. SB 24 would allow the Insurance Commissioner to set certain insurance fees at a level not to exceed the amount set in current statute. The bill would require the Commissioner to set the fees for the next calendar year and have them published in the Kansas Register no later than December 1 of each year. The Kansas Insurance Department states that the bill could change agency revenues, which would depend on the rates the Commissioner sets each year. The agency cannot estimate the changes in revenues; however, any change would allow the agency to continue efficient agency operations. Any fiscal effect associated with SB 24 is not reflected in The FY 2026 Governor’s Budget Report. Sincerely, Adam C. Proffitt Director of the Budget cc: Kyle Strathman, Insurance Department
