Uber agreed with the bill until the night before the vote the insurance committee put in the additional insurance amendment on the bill for cars that have liens on them, which is asinine because the bank requires insurance anyway. Also, uber addressed the "insurance gap" rather publicly. It seems pretty bitter of the Kansas legislative body to cry, "they're meanies. They are just bluffing, and we're going to wait it out because they can't afford to lose our huge Kansas markets. Lobbyists also told us they wanted some stuff in this bill, so we have to put it in there obviously."
Honestly, there is no logical argument for keeping a company out of Kansas when everyone wants it, except for MIR and the state senate.
