Updating public adjuster and insurance agent statutes pertaining to suspension, revocation, denial of licensure and licensure renewal.

SB 28 updates Kansas law for insurance agents and public adjusters by revising the conditions under which the state commissioner can deny, suspend, revoke, or refuse to renew a license. It adds new grounds for license action, such as failing to pay state taxes or comply with child support orders, and requires the commissioner to consider specific factors - like rehabilitation efforts, the seriousness of a criminal conviction, and the applicant's age at the time of the offense - when making decisions. This directly affects licensed insurance professionals in Kansas by clarifying the standards for maintaining their licenses. The bill amends and replaces existing sections of the Kansas Statutes (K.S.A. 40-4909 and 40-5510) to modernize these licensing requirements.
