40-101. Name. This act shall be known as the insurance code of the state of Kansas.

History: L. 1927, ch. 231, 40-101; June 1.

CASE ANNOTATIONS

1. History and purpose of code discussed; powers of commissioner. National Mutual Casualty Co. v. Hobbs, 149 Kan. 625, 633, 88 P.2d 1006.

2. Cited in determining whether company engaged in selling cemetery lots, burial vaults and markers engaged in insurance. State, ex rel., v. Anderson, 195 Kan. 649, 661, 408 P.2d 864.

3. Authority of insurance commissioner to set insurance rates may not be collaterally attacked; insurance code in conjunction with filed rate doctrine supercedes Kansas antitrust act. Amundson & Associates Art Studio v. National Council on Comp. Ins., 26 Kan. App. 2d 489, 496, 988 P.2d 1208 (1999).

4. Declaration of public policy is primarily a legislative function; court of appeals erred in adopting common law rule rather than interpreting party's rights under insurance policy. O'Bryan v. Columbia Ins. Group, 274 Kan. 572, 56 P.3d 789 (2002).
