Bill > HB2048

This bill modifies Kansas insurance law in three key ways: First, it eliminates the requirement for the insurance commissioner to submit an annual report to the governor detailing the condition of insurance companies, though the commissioner will still be required to maintain a permanent record of their proceedings. Second, the bill narrows the definition of "person" for the purposes of insurance law enforcement by removing several specific entities from the definition, such as rating organizations, third-party administrators, health maintenance organizations, and other insurance-related entities. Third, the bill removes a previously mandated reporting requirement from the commissioner of insurance regarding the development of electronic data interchange formats and standards. The changes appear to reduce administrative reporting burdens on the insurance commissioner while slightly modifying the scope of entities subject to insurance law enforcement. The bill will take effect upon publication in the Kansas register and repeals the existing sections of law that are being modified.
