Requiring agents and insurers to respond to inquiries from the commissioner of insurance within 14 calendar days and authorizing certain rebate pilot programs to exceed one year in duration.

The bill's title and summary were changed to focus on unfair and deceptive acts rather than foreign insurance company regulation.

References to the 2025 Supplement were updated to the 2024 Supplement, indicating a change in the effective date or version of the laws being amended.

New provisions were added defining specific unfair practices, including defamation, boycotts, and the issuance of stock or profit-sharing contracts to induce insurance sales.

Detailed requirements for foreign insurance companies, such as capital surplus deposits, examination reports, and restrictions on foreign government ownership, were removed.

Criteria for authorizing foreign insurance companies to do business in the state, including operational history and financial condition checks, were deleted.

Foreign insurance companies must now participate in the national insurance regulatory information system and demonstrate majority ownership is in sound financial condition to receive authorization.

Nonresident agents must hold a valid, active license in their home state; Kansas can revoke their license without a hearing if they lose that home-state license within 30 days of notification.

The list of unfair and deceptive acts was replaced with a new definition focused on the specific requirements for foreign insurers to operate in Kansas.

The bill text was renumbered and restructured from a general consumer protection focus to a specific regulatory framework for out-of-state insurers and agents.
