Kansas Insurance Commissioner Frank Sullivan announced an average 16 percent rate hike for homeowners policies, with some policies under 13 000 dollars facing higher increases. The Kansas Inspection Bureau sought a 23 percent across the board rise, citing rising loss claims and higher material and labor costs. A new coverage shields policyholders against credit card and check forgery for a small extra premium. Farm and farmowners programs are revised with a new wind and hail deductible of 50 dollars, disappearing as loss grows, not applying to contents, and capped at 200 dollars per set of buildings per windstorm. Adjustments apply to new policies after June 11 1965. current prices stay until renewal.
