2026 Licensing & Surplus Lines Laws
About this book
Licensing & Surplus Lines Laws presents license fees and education requirements in a single source. State lists outline licensing requirements that apply to all individuals. Rules for each state are outlined regarding commissions, fees, disclosures, and commingling of funds.
The first part of this book, Licensing, gives details concerning who must have a license connected to selling insurance, how those individuals go about getting a license, and what must be done to keep the license. It also provides licensing parameters for adjusters, brokers, third-party administrators, and others.
The second part, Surplus Lines, covers what types of insurance may be placed with a surplus lines insurer, how surplus lines policies are taxed, and how the different states have incorporated provisions of the NRRA.
