HB 844 Insurance agents; continuing education program changes.
Introduced by: Jackson H. Miller | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Insurance agents; continuing education program. Allows insurance agents who have completed all continuing education course or exemption requirements by December 31 but have failed to demonstrate proof of compliance by failing to pay the filing fee to pay the filing fee for an additional period of time, until the close of business on January 31, or the next working day thereafter if January 31 falls on a weekend, of the following year, but only if the agent pays, in addition to the filing fee, a late filing penalty of $100. An agent whose proof of compliance is received during this final period shall not be considered in compliance with the continuing education requirements unless the filing fee and the late filing penalty described herein are paid by the close of business on January 31, or the next working day thereafter if January 31 falls on a weekend. The measure also (i) removes the restriction that the Insurance Continuing Education Board's waiver of requirements pertaining to the number of course credits required for good cause be based on emergency situations and (ii) deletes the condition that requests for waivers of course credit requirements be submitted no later than 90 calendar days prior to the end of the biennium for which the waiver is requested.
