Legislative Update

The Department of Insurance recently issued a bulletin requiring insurance producers subject to continuing education requirements to complete three hours of ethics course training by May 1, 2008, and each biennial compliance period thereafter. Producers who fail to meet this requirement for any compliance period may have their license canceled. An approved ethics course taken prior to May 2, 2006 is not eligible for ethics course credit.
