The Honorable Jene Vickrey, Chairperson
House Committee on Insurance
Statehouse, Room 276-W
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Vickrey:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2074 by Representative Probst, et al.
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2074 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2074 would require insurers who offer individual policies providing hospital, medical
or surgical expense benefits to accept every individual who applies for coverage. The bill would
also allow insurers to impose a preexisting condition exclusion of 90 days following the date of
enrollment for conditions for which medical advice, diagnosis, care or treatment was
recommended or received in the 90 days prior to the effective date of enrollment. In addition, the
bill would make several technical amendments to current statute.
Enactment of HB 2074 would have no fiscal effect.


Sincerely,

Larry L. Campbell
Director of the Budget
