Analyzed Economic Effects

Refunds for wrong insurance fee payments
If you paid a fee, penalty, or interest that was not due, you can ask the Insurance Commissioner for a refund. You must file your claim within two years of the fee’s due date. The commissioner can pay the refund in cash. The law also removes earlier language that let the commissioner raise fees to meet appropriations.
Higher and unified insurance licensing fees
The law updates and centralizes many insurance filing and license fees. Examples: articles of incorporation $50, certificate of authority $750, annual statement $200, and producer appointment $25. Producers and public adjusters must file a biennial license continuation and pay the fee in the central schedule; the commissioner must give at least 60 days' notice. If a public adjuster’s license lapses, they can reinstate within 12 months by paying a reinstatement fee up to $125 plus the renewal fee. Business entities and administrators also pay application and renewal fees set in the same schedule.
