Washington Proposed Rule Changes For Producer & Adjuster Licensing Requirements.
On August 2, 2024, Washington proposed a rule change for producer and adjuster licensing requirements. Please see the attachment for more information. - Simplify the licensing process for limited-line credit insurance by automatically including it for producers already licensed for life, disability, property or casualty insurance - Allow insurance agencies to designate a new responsible licensed producer (DRLP) during license renewal if the current DRLP is inactive, fixing an issue identified by NIPR. - Simplify the fee structure for the cancellation of producer licenses. This will simplify fee calculations and prevent delays in implementing new NIPR features. - Remove outdated language that exempted crop adjusters from continuing education (CE) requirements, aligning with a 2022 rule that mandated CE for all licensed resident adjusters. - Remove references to pre-licensing education (PLE) to follow a 2023 law that abolished the PLE requirement. - Remove references to specific dates for electronic submissions, as all licensing processes are now fully electronic. Update: The rule takes effect on November 4, 2024. Attached final copy of the changes.
