History: L. 1973, ch. 85, § 41; L. 1992, ch. 46, § 2; L. 2024, ch. 6, § 61; January 1, 2025.
KANSAS COMMENT, 2010
1. The U3C covers only those leases which exceed four months in duration. See the Kansas comment to K.S.A. 16a-1-301(16). Note that potential liability at the end of the lease term is limited by K.S.A. 16a-3-401; see the Kansas comment to that section.
2. In 1976, Congress added the Consumer Leasing Act (CLA) to the TILA, 15 U.S.C. § 1667 et seq. The CLA contains its own requirements for disclosure in consumer leasing transactions, and inconsistent state law is preempted. See Federal Reserve Board Regulation M, 12 C.F.R. Part 213. As had earlier been done for consumer credit sales and loans, the administrator has adopted a regulation that incorporates the federal disclosure requirements for leases by reference. See K.A.R. 75-6-26. See also the Kansas comment to K.S.A. 16a-3-401.
