Plain-language change summary

The amendment to Bill HB 5082 changes the eligibility for exemption from continuing-education requirements for insurance license holders. Previously, only those aged 55 and older with 25 years of experience could be exempt; now, any license holder with 25 continuous years, regardless of age, is eligible for this exemption. This change matters because it broadens the group of experienced insurance professionals who no longer need to meet ongoing education requirements, reducing their regulatory burden while still ensuring they complete ethics-related education.
