WASHINGTON–A trade organization for risk retention groups has written Kansas insurance regulators telling them they lack the authority to require RRGs based outside Kansas to file anti-fraud plans with Kansas.

Robert Myers Jr., general counsel for the National Risk Retention Association, said the organization's Oct. 11 letter to Kansas officials was written in hopes of avoiding another battlefront in the RRGs' fight to keep states from imposing what they see as burdensome and inappropriate mandates.

Mr. Myers, a partner in the insurance group of Morris, Manning & Martin LLP, said many states have anti-fraud plans, but, generally, they recognize that under federal law RRGs are not subject to the same requirements insurance companies are required to comply with.
