Summary

Amends the Illinois Insurance Code. Increases the number of hours a person must complete for an insurance producer license. Provides that before each license renewal, an insurance producer must satisfactorily complete at least 24 hours (instead of 30 hours) of course study and that at lease 3 hours must consist of classroom ethics instruction. Specifies that the pre-licensing course of study must be before the insurance exam. Provides that 7.5 hours of each pre-licensing course must be completed in a classroom setting, except Motor Vehicle, which would require 5 hours in a classroom setting. Imposes conditions on any rulemaking authority.

Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to Bill HB 70 removed a section that required rules for implementing the bill to be adopted in accordance with specific procedures of Illinois law. Instead, the focus is now solely on the licensing requirements for business entities acting as insurance producers, emphasizing the need for these entities to designate a licensed producer responsible for compliance with insurance laws. This change simplifies the application process and clarifies responsibilities, which is important for ensuring that insurance producers operate within legal guidelines.
