16a-4-104. (UCCC) Creditor's provision of and charge for insurance; excess amount of charge. (1) Except as otherwise provided in this article and subject to the provisions on additional charges and maximum finance charges, a creditor may agree to provide insurance, and may contract for and receive a charge for insurance separate from and in addition to other charges. A creditor need not make a separate charge for insurance provided or required by him. This act does not authorize the issuance of any insurance prohibited under any statute, or rule thereunder, governing the business of insurance.

(2) The excess amount of a charge for insurance provided for in agreements in violation of this article is an excess charge for the purposes of the provisions of the article on remedies and penalties as to effect of violations on rights of parties and of the provisions of the article on administration as to civil actions by the administrator.

History: L. 1973, ch. 85, § 64; L. 2024, ch. 6, § 83; January 1, 2025.

KANSAS COMMENT, 2010

1. Subsection (1) broadly authorizes creditors to contract for and receive payments for providing insurance covering the whole range of transactions within the scope of this article. See K.S.A. 16a-4-102. A creditor may provide insurance without making a charge in addition to the finance charge and, in that event, is not required to disclose any amount as a charge for insurance. If, however, the creditor requires insurance in connection with a consumer credit sale, consumer lease, or consumer loan, the fact that the cost of providing it is buried in an increased finance charge, giving the insurance for "free," will not necessarily exclude the creditor from restrictions under any other law.

2. Limitations are placed on the making of an additional or separate charge for insurance in K.S.A. 16a-2-501, and the authorization of this section is subject to that provision. In addition, such a charge must be limited as provided in K.S.A. 16a-4-107.

Attorney General's Opinions:

Consumer credit insurance; property and liability insurance. 87-3.
