Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 22, § 1551. Exemption from examination

Current as of January 01, 2023 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

A. An individual who applies for an insurance producer license in this state who was previously licensed for the same lines of authority in another state shall not be required to complete an examination. This exemption is available only if the person is currently licensed in that state or if the application is received within ninety days of the cancellation of the applicant's previous license and if the prior state issues a certification that, at the time of cancellation, the applicant was in good standing in that state or the state's Producer Database records, maintained by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, its affiliates or subsidiaries, indicate that the producer is or was licensed in good standing for the line of authority requested.

B. A person licensed as an insurance producer in another state who moves to this state shall make application within ninety days of establishing legal residence to become a resident licensee pursuant to R.S. 22:1546. No examination shall be required of that person to obtain any line of authority previously held in the prior state except where the commissioner determines otherwise by regulation.

C. The following resident applicants are exempt from the requirement of an examination:

(1) Any applicant for a license covering the same line or lines of insurance for which the applicant was licensed under a similar license in this state, other than a temporary license, within two years from the date of expiration of the previous license, unless such previous license was revoked or suspended or renewal was refused by the commissioner.

(2) Any applicant for a license to represent a limited life, health and accident insurer.

(3) Any applicant for a license to act only as a producer with respect to life or accident and health or sickness insurance on borrowers or debtors or with respect to property and casualty insurance on collateral and involuntary unemployment, commonly known as credit insurance.

(4) Any applicant for a license to act only as a producer with respect to travel insurance.

(5) Producers of any other lines of insurance which the commissioner of insurance determines, by rule or regulation, do not require the professional competency tested by examination.
