Eliminating the requirement that the commissioner submit certain reports to the governor and removing certain specific entities from the definition of person for the purpose of enforcing insurance law.
HB 2048 eliminates the requirement for the Kansas Insurance Commissioner to submit certain reports to the governor. It also removes specific entities from the definition of "person" under Kansas insurance law, meaning those entities will no longer be subject to enforcement actions under certain provisions.
