(a) A licensee shall maintain permissible investments that have a market value computed in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles of not less than the aggregate amount of the total of the licensee's outstanding money transmission obligations.
(b) Except for the permissible investments described in K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 9-589, and amendments thereto, the commissioner may by rules and regulations or order limit the extent to which a specific investment maintained by a licensee within a class of permissible investments may be considered a permissible investment, if the specific investment represents undue risk to customers not reflected in the market value of investments.
(c) Permissible investments, even if commingled with other assets of the licensee, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the purchasers and holders of the licensee's outstanding money transmission obligations in the event of insolvency, the filing of a petition by or against the licensee under 11 U.S.C. §§ 101 through 110 for bankruptcy or reorganization, the filing of a petition by or against the licensee for receivership, the commencement of any other judicial or administrative proceeding for such licensee's dissolution or reorganization or in the event of an action by a creditor against the licensee who is not a beneficiary of this statutory trust. No permissible investments impressed with a trust pursuant to this subsection shall be subject to attachment, levy of execution or sequestration by order of any court, except for a beneficiary of this statutory trust.
(d) Upon the establishment of a statutory trust in accordance with subsection (c) or when any funds are drawn on a letter of credit pursuant to K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 9-589, and amendments thereto, the commissioner shall notify the applicable regulator of each state where the licensee is licensed to engage in money transmission, if any, of the establishment of the trust or the funds drawn on the letter of credit, as applicable. Notice shall be deemed satisfied if performed pursuant to a multistate agreement or through the nationwide multistate licensing system and registry. Funds drawn on a letter of credit and any other permissible investments held in trust for the benefit of the purchasers and holders of the licensee's outstanding money transmission obligations shall be deemed held in trust for the benefit of such purchasers and holders on a pro rata and equitable basis in accordance with statutes pursuant to which permissible investments are required to be held in Kansas and other states, as applicable. Any statutory trust established under this section shall be terminated upon extinguishment of all of the licensee's outstanding money transmission obligations.
(e) The commissioner by rules and regulations or by order may allow other types of investments that the commissioner determines are of sufficient liquidity and quality to be a permissible investment. The commissioner is hereby authorized to participate in efforts with other state regulators to determine which other types of investments are of sufficient liquidity and quality to be a permissible investment.
(f) This section shall take effect on and after January 1, 2025.
