§ 40-5106 — Disclosure requirements

If an insurer writing personal insurance uses credit information in underwriting or rating a consumer, the insurer or its agent shall disclose that it may obtain credit information in connection with such application. The insurer shall further notify such consumer that an internal appeal process exists as provided by paragraph (b) of K.S.A. 40-5107, and amendments thereto. The disclosure shall be made either on the insurance application or at the time the insurance application is taken. Such disclosure shall be either written or provided to an applicant in the same medium as the application for insurance. The insurer need not provide the disclosure statement required under this section to any insured on a renewal policy if such consumer has previously been provided a disclosure statement.
