Collateral Source Rule Reform: HB 2693 (1988).

Kansas

Permits the admissibility of evidence of collateral source payments, where damages exceed $150,000.  Provides for awards to be offset when the court assigns comparative fault.  The statute allowing evidence of collateral source benefits where claimant demands judgment for damages in excess of $150,000 violated the equal protection provision of the State Constitution.  Thompson v. KFB Insurance Co., 850 P.2d 773 (Kan. 1993).
