How household-goods moving costs vary in Kansas

State-specific code or insurance rule: Kansas was one of the early intrastate household-goods deregulation states — Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) Transportation Division phased out intrastate HHG tariff filing and certificate-of-public-convenience requirements in the mid-1990s, leaving Kansas as one of only 5 U.S. states (alongside SC 1999, IA, ND, SD) with fully-deregulated intrastate household-goods moving — Kansas intrastate moves require only the federal FMCSA Operating Authority MC number and USDOT number with no state-specific intrastate carrier permit or state tariff requirement, plus HHG consumer protection enforcement falls entirely to Kansas Office of Attorney General Consumer Protection Division under the Kansas Consumer Protection Act.
