Kansas lawmakers back tough unfair insurance rules
Kansas moves to curb insurer misrepresentation and slow claim handling. A new Unfair Trade Practices Act expands coverage to fire and casualty lines, sets 14 prohibited practices, empowers penalties up to 100 dollars per violation and up to 50 thousand dollars in six months, and requires complaint records. Another bill tightens auto policy nonrenewal rules, mandating 30 days notice and written rationale, with exceptions for commissioner orders, business exit, disability, underwriting shifts, or five-year policies. Kansas Insurance Commissioner Fletcher Bell hails the changes as major progress.
