34-236. Insurance. (a) Every public warehouseman shall at all times keep the grain stored in such warehouseman's warehouse insured in some reliable insurance company authorized to do business in the state of Kansas. Such grain is to be insured for its full market value, less the deductible amount provided herein, against loss by fire, internal explosion, lightning, and tornado and failure to do so shall make the public warehouseman liable for the same on such warehouseman's bond or letter of credit for the benefit of the owner or owners and the owners of warehouse receipts and storage receipts issued by any public warehouse shall have a first lien, to the extent of the value of the grain at the time of destruction at the place where stored, on all such insurance for any loss or injury sustained by them on account of the destruction or injury of such grain by fire, internal explosion, lightning or tornado or any other cause covered by such insurance policy.(b) Fraud or criminal act of the warehouseman to which the holder of a warehouse receipt or other interested person is not a party shall not deprive the holder of a warehouse receipt or storage receipt or other interested person of such person's right of recovery under such policy of insurance. Nothing in this act shall be construed to require the insurer to pay any loss or damage in excess of the amount of insurance effective under its policy or to pay for any loss or damage not insured against by its policy. In case of a fire, lightning or tornado, which shall destroy all or part of the grain stored in any public warehouse, the public warehouseman shall, upon demand by the owner of the grain, or holder of any warehouse receipt, or receipts, for such grain, and upon being presented with the warehouse receipt, or receipts, make settlement for the value of the grain covered by the warehouse receipt, or receipts, after deducting the warehouse charges, at the market value of same, basing said value at the average price paid for grain of the same grade at the station where the public warehouse is located on the date of the destruction. Without in any way limiting the warehouseman's liability under this section, the warehouseman may carry a standard form of insurance policy approved for grain warehousemen with a total deductible provision on the contents not to exceed $10,000, except that the secretary upon a finding that it is necessary to protect the public may order that a warehouseman's total deductible provision be an amount less than $10,000 as specified by the secretary.History: L. 1931, ch. 194, § 14; L. 1945, ch. 211, § 1; L. 1970, ch. 156, § 3; L. 1973, ch. 180, § 1; L. 1989, ch. 121, § 4; L. 1997, ch. 160, § 26; L. 2000, ch. 30, § 4; Mar. 30.

The owner of the grain may designate the receiving licensed public warehouse if a written contract to that effect has been entered into and agreed upon between the owner of the grain and the warehouseman prior to the deposit of the grain. Upon receipt of the grain by the receiving warehouseman, from the originating warehouseman, a negotiable warehouse receipt must be issued upon the demand of the owner of the grain. The warehouse receipt must be returned to the originating warehouseman, and the originating warehouseman shall deliver it to the owner upon payment of freight and all legal charges and upon the owner's surrender of any trust receipts which may have been issued by the originating warehouseman for such grain. If the grain is transferred to a receiving licensed warehouse designated by the owner of the grain, the warehouseman, in addition to his current posted public warehouse charges, may make an additional charge of one and one-half cents (1 1/2¢) per bushel for risk and shrinkage in transit and shall also assess the transportation and all legal charges against the owner of the grain.History: L. 1931, ch. 194, § 19; L. 1939, ch. 197, § 2; L. 1967, ch. 232, § 1; L. 1969, ch. 217, § 2; July 1.

It shall be stated on the face of the new receipt or receipts that such new receipt or receipts represent the balance of the original receipt or receipts. The new receipt or receipts shall bear thereon the number or numbers of the original receipt or receipts and the original receipt or receipts, upon which a part of the grain has been delivered, shall be canceled in the manner as if all of the grain has been delivered. In case it is desirable to divide one receipt into two or more, or in case it is desirable to consolidate two or more receipts into one and the warehouseman consents thereto, the original receipt or receipts shall be canceled in the same manner as if the grain had been delivered from store. The new receipt or receipts shall express on the face thereof that such new receipt or receipts represent a part of another receipt or the consolidation of other receipts, as the case may be, and the number and date of the original receipt or receipts shall also appear on the new receipt or receipts issued in lieu thereof. No consolidation of receipts differing more than 30 days in date shall be permitted.(c) All new receipts issued for old ones canceled as provided in this section shall bear the notation of the date of the receipt or receipts as originally issued.
