Repeal of K.A.R. 75-6-36 and 75-6-37

The Kansas Office of the State Bank Commissioner proposes the repeal of administrative regulations K.A.R. 75-6-36 and 75-6-37 because mortgage regulation authority has transferred to the Kansas Mortgage Bankers Association. The agency determined these rules are redundant as the KMBA maintains duplicate regulations and the original statutes have been repealed. The Economic Impact Statement confirms that this repeal results in zero implementation or compliance costs for businesses, local governments, or individuals.

Section I Analysis, brief description, and cost and benefit quantification of the proposed rule(s) and regulation(s). If the approach chosen by the Kansas agency to address the policy issue is different from that utilized by agencies of contiguous states or of the federal government, the economic impact statement shall include an explanation of why the Kansas agency's rule and regulation differs. K.A.R. 75-6-36 and 75-6-37 are being repealed since mortgages moved to the KMBA, K.S.A 9.2201 et. seq. The KMBA already has duplicate regulations at K.A.R. 17-24-3 and 17-24-5.

Oklahoma, Missouri, and Nebraska have similar requirements by statute.
