This bill amends K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 40-2,239 to allow travel insurance to be classified and filed under both the accident and health line of insurance and the inland marine line of insurance. Specifically, it permits travel insurance that covers sickness, accident, disability, or death during travel, either exclusively or alongside related coverages such as emergency evacuation or repatriation of remains, to be classified under either category. Additionally, the bill allows for the development of eligibility and underwriting standards for travel insurance based on specific travel protection plans, provided these standards align with the state's underwriting requirements for inland marine insurance.

The bill also includes a repeal of the existing section of K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 40-2,239 and specifies that the act will take effect upon its publication in the Kansas Register. Notably, the language "provided" has been deleted from the eligibility and underwriting standards section, and "statute book" has been replaced with "Kansas register" in the effective date provision.
