Summary

Existing law requires the Insurance Commissioner to give, at least once each month, in each of the cities in which he or she has an office, qualifying examinations for production agent licenses. Existing law requires every qualifying examination for a production agent license to be in writing and to be of sufficient scope to satisfy the commissioner that the applicant has sufficient knowledge of, and is reasonably familiar with, the insurance laws of this state and with the provisions, terms, and conditions of the insurance that may be transacted pursuant to the license sought, and that the applicant has a general and fair understanding of the obligations and duties of the holder of that license. This bill, from January 1, 2018, to January 1, 2024, would require the examination for a license as a life agent, life-only agent, and accident and health agent be provided in English and Spanish. The bill would require the Insurance Commissioner to evaluate the qualifying examination taken in Spanish and submit a report to the Legislature by March 1, 2023, as provided.
