Memorandum


The introduced version of House Bill 5082 was to exempt persons who have held an insurance license for 20 years or more from attending the continuing education requirements. The Committee Substitute for HB5082 was amended to exempt persons who have held insurance license for 25 years or more. The effect of the amendment has no impact on our Fiscal Note response. Currently the Offices of the Insurance Commissioner receives $25 for each approved continuing education course and course renewals, not per each candidate, pursuant to 33-12-8(k). Therefore, there would be no fiscal impact on revenue, expenses or operations of the Offices of the Insurance Commissioner.
