AI Summary
This bill renames and restructures two state governmental entities related to insurance and securities regulation in Kansas. Specifically, the Kansas insurance department will be renamed the Kansas department of insurance, and the office of the securities commissioner will be renamed the department of insurance, securities division. The bill eliminates the requirement for Senate confirmation of the securities division's leadership, allowing the commissioner of insurance to directly appoint the division's assistant commissioner. All existing powers, duties, and functions of the current entities will transfer to their newly named counterparts, and all existing rules, regulations, orders, and directives will remain in effect until amended or revoked. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, and aim to streamline administrative functions by consolidating and cross-appointing employees as needed to improve efficiency. The bill also repeals several existing statutes related to the current organizational structure, signaling a comprehensive reorganization of these regulatory bodies.
