§1808.6. Exemption from examination
A. An individual who applies for an insurance consultant license in this state who
was previously licensed as a resident insurance consultant 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 by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, its affiliates or subsidiaries, and
the certification indicates that the consultant is or was licensed in good standing for the line
of authority requested.
B. A person licensed as an insurance consultant in another state who moves to this
state shall make application within ninety days of establishing legal residence in this state to
become a resident licensee pursuant to R.S. 22:1808.3. No examination shall be required of
that person to obtain a consultant license for any line of authority previously held in the prior
state except where the commissioner determines otherwise by regulation.
C. Resident applicants shall be exempt from the requirement of an examination for
a license covering the same line or lines of insurance for which the applicant was licensed
under a similar license in this state 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previous license, unless such previous license was revoked or suspended or renewal was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.
