HB2351

Kansas HB2351 amends the uniform arbitration act to invalidate certain arbitration agreements in insurance contracts, with exceptions.

Kansas HB2351 amends the uniform arbitration act of 2000 to invalidate agreements in insurance contracts to submit to appraisal or arbitration, except for contracts between insurance companies. The bill specifies that such agreements are not valid, enforceable, or irrevocable unless a court decides otherwise. It also allows arbitration to proceed if a party challenges the existence of, or claims that a controversy is not subject to, an arbitration agreement. The act takes effect after its publication in the statute book.
