Appointments and Cancellations
|
| Any producer acting on behalf of an insurer must
be appointed by the insurer. Any insurer accepting business directly from a
person not licensed for that line of authority and not appointed by the insurer
is liable to a fine of up to three times the premium received from the person. |
| Each insurer appointing a producer in this state
shall file a notice of the appointment with the DOI within 15 days of the date
the agency contract is executed or the first insurance application is
submitted, whichever occurs first. The Insurer must submit a Notice of
Producer Appointment through the National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR).
