(a) Every insurer which is authorized to do business in this state and which is a member of an insurance holding company system shall register with the commissioner of insurance, except a foreign insurer subject to registration requirements and standards adopted by statute or regulation in the jurisdiction of its domicile which are substantially similar to those contained in this section. Any insurer which is subject to registration under this section shall register within 15 days after it becomes subject to registration, and annually thereafter by May 1 of each year unless the commissioner of insurance for good cause shown extends the time for registration, and then within such extended time. The commissioner of insurance may require any authorized insurer which is a member of an insurance holding company system and which is not subject to registration under this section to furnish a copy of the registration statement, the summary specified in subsection (c) or other information filed by such insurance company with the insurance regulatory authority of domiciliary jurisdiction.
(8) any other information required by the commissioner of insurance by rules and regulations.
(c) All registration statements shall be accompanied by a summary outlining all items in the current registration statement representing changes from the prior registration statement.
(d) No information need be disclosed on the registration statement filed pursuant to subsection (b) if such information is not material for the purpose of this section. Unless the commissioner of insurance by rules and regulations or order provides otherwise, sales, purchases, exchanges, loans or extensions of credit, investments or guarantees, involving .5% or less of an insurer's admitted assets as of the December 31 immediately preceding shall be deemed immaterial for purposes of this section.
(e) Each registered insurer shall keep current the information required to be disclosed in such insurer's registration statement by reporting all material changes or additions on amendment forms provided by the commissioner of insurance within 15 days after the end of the month in which it learns of each such change or addition, except each registered insurer shall report all dividends and other distributions to shareholders within five business days following its declaration. Any such dividend or distribution shall not be paid for at least 10 business days from the commissioner's receipt of the notice of its declaration.
(f) Any person within an insurance holding company system subject to registration shall provide complete and accurate information to an insurer, where such information is reasonably necessary to enable the insurer to comply with the provisions of this act.
(g) The commissioner of insurance shall terminate the registration of any insurer which demonstrates that such insurer no longer is a member of an insurance holding company system.
(h) The commissioner of insurance may require or allow two or more affiliated insurers subject to registration hereunder to file a consolidated registration statement.
(i) The commissioner of insurance may allow an insurer which is authorized to do business in this state and which is part of an insurance holding company system to register on behalf of any affiliated insurer which is required to register under subsection (a) and to file all information and material required to be filed under this section.
(j) The provisions of this section shall not apply to any information or transaction if and to the extent the commissioner of insurance by rule and regulation or order shall exempt the same from the provisions of this section.
(k) Any person may file with the commissioner of insurance a disclaimer of affiliation with any authorized insurer or such a disclaimer may be filed by such insurer or any member of an insurance holding company system. The disclaimer shall fully disclose all material relationships and bases for affiliation between such person and such insurer as well as the basis for disclaiming such affiliation. After a disclaimer has been filed, the insurer shall be relieved of any duty to register or report under this section which may arise out of the insurer's relationship with such person unless and until the commissioner of insurance disallows such a disclaimer. The commissioner of insurance shall disallow such a disclaimer only after furnishing all parties in interest with notice and opportunity to be heard in accordance with the provisions of the Kansas administrative procedure act.
(l) (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), the ultimate controlling person of every insurer subject to registration also shall file an annual enterprise risk report. The report, to the best of the ultimate controlling person's knowledge and belief, shall identify the material risks within the insurance holding company system that could pose enterprise risk to the insurer. The report shall be filed with the lead state commissioner of insurance of the insurance holding company system as determined by the procedures within the financial analysis handbook adopted by the national association of insurance commissioners. The first enterprise risk report shall be filed no later than May 1, 2015, and annually thereafter by May 1 of each year unless the commissioner of insurance extends the time for filing for good cause shown.
(2) The ultimate controlling person of an insurer with total direct and assumed annual premiums of less than $300 million is not required to submit an enterprise risk report.
(m) The failure of an insurer or an ultimate controlling person of the insurer to file a registration statement, any summary of the registration statement or enterprise risk filing within the specified time for filing shall be a violation by the insurer or by the ultimate controlling person of the insurer, as applicable.
