16 (a) Unless denied a license pursuant to Section 500-70,
17 persons who have met the requirements of Sections 500-25 and
18 500-30 shall be issued a 2-year insurance producer license.

3 (6) Personal lines: property and casualty insurance
4 coverage sold to individuals and families for primarily
5 noncommercial purposes.
6 (7) Any other line of insurance permitted under
7 State laws or rules.
8 (b) An insurance producer license shall remain in effect
9 unless revoked or suspended as long as the fee set forth in
10 Section 500-135 is paid and education requirements for
11 resident individual producers are met by the due date.
12 (1) Before each license renewal, an insurance
13 producer must satisfactorily complete at least 30 hours
14 of course study in accordance with rules prescribed by
15 the Director. The Director may not approve a course of
16 study unless the course provides for classroom, seminar,
17 or self-study instruction methods. A course given in a
18 combination instruction method of classroom or seminar
19 and self-study shall be deemed to be a self-study course
20 unless the classroom or seminar certified hours meets or
21 exceeds two-thirds of total hours certified for the
22 course. The self-study material used in the combination
23 course must be directly related to and complement the
24 classroom portion of the course in order to be considered

26 or seminar shall be considered as self-study
27 methodology. Self-study credit hours require the
28 successful completion of an examination covering the
29 self-study material. The examination may not be
30 self-evaluated. However, if the self-study material is
31 completed through the use of an approved computerized
32 interactive format whereby the computer validates the
33 successful completion of the self-study material, no
34 additional examination is required. The self-study
HB2994 Enrolled -18- LRB9205492JSpcA

2 considered classroom hours when at least two-thirds of
3 the hours are given as classroom or seminar instruction.
4 (2) An insurance producer license automatically
5 terminates when an insurance producer fails to
6 successfully meet the requirements of item (1) of
7 subsection (b) of this Section. The producer must
8 complete the course in advance of the renewal date to
9 allow the education provider time to report the credit to
10 the Department.

12 education course required by Section 500-30 and this Section
13 must pay a registration fee and a course certification fee
14 for each course being certified as provided by Section
15 500-135.
16 (d) An individual insurance producer who allows his or
17 her license to lapse may, within 12 months after the due date
18 of the renewal fee, be issued a license without the necessity
19 of passing a written examination. However, a penalty in the
20 amount of double the unpaid renewal fee shall be required
21 after the due date.
22 (e) A licensed insurance producer who is unable to
23 comply with license renewal procedures due to military
24 service may request a waiver of those procedures.
25 (f) The license must contain the licensee's name,

16 (3) the person has submitted or transmitted to the

19 application, a completed Uniform Application; and
20 (4) the person's home state awards nonresident
21 producer licenses to residents of this State on the same
22 basis.
23 (b) The Director may verify the producer's licensing
24 status through the Producer Database maintained by the
25 National Association of Insurance Commissioners or its
26 affiliates or subsidiaries or by obtaining certification from
27 the public official having supervision of insurance in the
28 applicant's state of residence that the applicant has passed

4 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article,
5 a person licensed as a surplus lines producer in his or her

10 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article,
11 a person licensed as a limited lines producer in his or her
12 home state shall receive a nonresident limited lines producer
13 license, pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section, granting
14 the same scope of authority as granted under the license
15 issued by the producer's home state. For the purposes of
16 this subsection, limited line insurance is any authority
17 granted by the home state that restricts the authority of the
18 license to less than the total authority prescribed in the
19 associated major lines pursuant to items (1) through (5) of
20 subsection (a) of Section 500-35.
21 (215 ILCS 5/500-45 new)
22 Sec. 500-45. Exemption from examination.
23 (a) An individual who applies for an insurance producer
24 license in this State who was previously licensed for the
25 same lines of authority in another state shall not be
26 required to complete any pre-licensing education or
27 examination. This exemption is only available if the person
28 is currently licensed in that state or if the application is
29 received within 90 days after the cancellation of the
30 applicant's previous license and if the prior state issues a

1 Association of Insurance Commissioners, its affiliates, or
2 subsidiaries indicate that the producer is or was licensed in

4 (b) A person licensed as an insurance producer in
5 another state who moves to this State must make application
6 within 90 days after establishing legal residence to become a

9 obtain any line of authority previously held in the prior
10 state except when the Director determines otherwise by rule.

4 of the Illinois Insurance Producer's Licensing Examination
5 Advisory Committee dated November 19, 1991, and filed with
6 the Department unless some other methodology is determined by
7 the Director to be as effective in minimizing differences
8 between white and minority examinee pass-fail rates.
9 (f) The Director has the discretion to set cutoff scores
10 for the examinations, provided that scaled scores on test
11 forms administered after July 1, 1993, shall be made
12 comparable to scaled scores on test forms administered in
13 1991 by use of professionally acceptable methods so as to
14 minimize changes in passing rates related to the presence or

22 Sec. 500-140. Injunctive relief. A person required to be
23 licensed under this Article but failing to obtain a valid and

26 license to the Attorney General, whose duty it is to apply
27 forthwith by complaint on relation of the Director in the
28 name of the people of the State of Illinois, for injunctive
29 relief in the circuit court of the county where the failure
30 to obtain a license occurred to enjoin that person from
31 failing to obtain a license. Upon the filing of a verified
32 petition in the court, the court, if satisfied by affidavit
33 or otherwise that the person is required to have a license
HB2994 Enrolled -47- LRB9205492JSpcA
1 and does not have a valid and current license, may enter a
2 temporary restraining order without notice or bond, enjoining
3 the defendant from acting in any capacity that requires such
4 license. A copy of the verified complaint shall be served
5 upon the defendant, and the proceedings shall thereafter be
6 conducted as in other civil cases. If it is established that
7 the defendant has been, or is engaged in any unlawful
8 practice, the court may enter an order or judgment
