Book excerpt: Pursuant to K.S.A. 40-103, the commissioner of insurance has authority to make all reasonable rules and regulations necessary to enforce the laws of this state relating to insurance. One such regulation, K.A.R. 40-1-20, prohibits the use of subrogation clauses in contracts of insurance which provide for reimbursement of medical, surgical, hospital or funeral expenses. While authorization for the promulgation of this rule and regulation is present in various statutes relating to insurance, the statutes cited in the regulation are not the statutes actually being implemented by the regulation. Accordingly, the rule and regulation is valid, but should be amended to correctly reflect the statutes being implemented. Cited herein: K.S.A. 40-103, 40-216, 40-287, 40-1110, 40-2201, 40-2203, 40-2204, 40-2208, 40-3113a, K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 44-504, 44-532, K.S.A. 60-217, K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 77-415, 77-416, K.A.R. 40-1-20.
