Statute 40-3106: Prohibited vehicle operation by certain nonresidents;
report of violations; declaration of policy coverage by insurers;
self-insurers to certify compliance.
(a) A motor vehicle owned by a nonresident shall not be operated in this
state upon a highway or upon property open to use by the public, unless
a motor vehicle liability insurance policy meeting the requirements of
K.S.A. 40-3107, and amendments thereto, is in effect for such vehicle, or such
nonresident has qualified as a self-insurer pursuant to subsection (f)
of
K.S.A. 40-3104, and amendments thereto, or
has filed the form prescribed in subsection (b) of this section. Whenever
the privilege of a nonresident operating a
motor vehicle in this state is suspended for failure of the owner to maintain
financial security, in effect, the director shall
report such violation to the motor vehicle administrator in the state
wherein the vehicle is registered. The director is hereby authorized to
enter into such reciprocal agreements with the motor vehicle
administrator or other appropriate official in other jurisdictions as
may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of this act.
(b) Every insurance company authorized to transact the business of
motor vehicle liability insurance in this state shall file with the
commissioner as a condition of its continued transaction of such
business within this state a form approved by the commissioner declaring
that its motor vehicle liability policies, wherever issued, shall be
deemed to provide the insurance required by K.S.A. 40-3107, and amendments thereto,
when the vehicle is operated in this state. Any nonadmitted insurer may
file such a form.
A qualified self-insurer, approved by an agency of the state in which the
vehicles are registered, may certify its compliance with K.S.A. 40-3107,
and amendments thereto, on a form prescribed by the commissioner.
