Continuing Education Licensee Compliance Rule Hearing Report: May 5
May 5, 2009
On Tuesday, May 5, 2009, the Florida Department of Financial Services, Division of Insurance Agents and Agency Services held a public workshop regarding proposed amendments to the following Rules relating to continuing education and licensee compliance for insurance agents, adjusters and insurance educators:
- 69B-228.030: Definitions
- 69B-228.220: Licensee Compliance; Requirements; Penalties for Non-Compliance
During the workshop, improvements and clarifications to continuing education requirements for insurance agents and other licensees, such as public adjusters, were discussed.
The proposed amendment to Rule 69B-228.030 would delete the term “satellite,” and thus, allow courses that would have fallen in that category to be subject to the same compliance standards as other, similar courses. A definition of “printed material” would be added to allow for electronic text documents provided they are readily printable. Rule 69B-228.220, F.A.C., would be amended to require that public adjusters have their continuing education in public adjuster courses. Technical corrections also would be made to the history notes.
The proposed text of 69B-228.030 and 69B-228.220 may be viewed by clicking here.
