STOLI Legislation Signed into Law
Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger said the signing of a bill placing more consumer protections on "Stranger/Investor-Originated Life Insurance" policies, known as STOLIs, is an important step in keeping deceptive practices from harming Kansans.
The bill, known as Senate Substitute for House Bill 2110, was signed into law by Gov. Kathleen Sebelius on April 21. It provides a revised definition of a STOLI policy, places restrictions on financing such a policy by strangers who would profit from it, and closes a trust loophole. It amends the state's Viatical Settlements Act of 2002. (Read the news release

Greensburg anniversary reminds Kansans that property should be inventoried, protected ![]()
The May 4 first anniversary of the devastating and deadly Greensburg tornado serves as a reminder to all Kansans to make sure their property insurance is current and adequate.
Having a written and video record of your home’s belongings is something we stress to consumers in our department presentations. The information you enter into a home inventory can make an insurance claim settlement faster and easier. Having the property file makes for a more accurate claim, saving you time, money and frustration when you have a property loss.
