The filing requirements of K.S.A. 40-216 shall be suspended when insurance policies, endorsements, riders, and other forms cannot be filed before use because:

1. (a) A change in company officers makes obsolete the signatures appearing on existing forms. If the validity of contracts issued subsequent to such a change in officers would be affected, the filing requirements shall not be suspended; or
2. (b) an existing supply of forms is depleted and the replacement forms bear a different printing date or edition identity.

This suspension shall not apply to any other changes.

(Authorized by K.S.A. 40-103, 40-216; implementing K.S.A. 40-216; effective May 1, 1981; amended May 1, 1986.)
