KANSAS COMMENT, 2010
The military provisions added to the Code assist in providing extra safeguards under state law to military personnel. This section, as well as K.S.A. 16a-2-404 must be read in conjunction with federal laws that impose additional restrictions with respect to rates, terms, and required disclosures on loans to military personnel and their dependents. The federal law and implementing regulations preempt state law. See, for example, Section 670 of the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Talent Amendment), 10 U.S.C. § 987, regulations that implement section 670 from the Department of Defense, found at 32 C.F.R. Part 232, and the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, 50 U.S.C. § 501 et seq.
