## Bill overview: provisions PRIA read

- Adjuster course providers lose accreditation fee: benefit, low. The law removes the required statutory process for accrediting public adjuster continuing education courses and assigning credit hours. It also removes the $50 application fee for in-state course accreditation. The provision does not describe a replacement process.
- Public adjuster education follows renewal dates: benefit, low. Public adjusters report continuing education by the last day of their birth month with their two-year license renewal. The requirement remains at least 24 credits every two years, including three ethics credits. Nonresidents are exempt from North Dakota's education requirements if they meet home-st…
- Public adjusters get earlier renewal notices: benefit, low. Individual resident and nonresident public adjusters get at least 90 days' notice of their two-year license renewal filing deadline. That is up from 60 days, giving them more time to prepare.
- Producer licenses expressly cover more annuities: benefit, low. North Dakota's life and annuity license line expressly includes fixed and indexed annuities. The accident and health line includes sickness, and the variable line includes variable annuities. The law also removes a separate statutory reference to adopted product types.
- Insurance producers face faster license enforcement: cost, medium. North Dakota insurance producers must keep an email address for regulatory use and continually monitor it. Legal notices count as served when emailed, or when mailed to the address on record. The Commissioner can suspend or revoke a nonresident license without notice or hearing after a home-state s…

Proof of insurance is no longer an alternative. Written notice before a bond ends drops from 60 to 30 days and must reach the Commissioner and adjuster. If the bond ends or becom…
- Public adjusters face revised filing rules: cost, low. Public adjuster businesses must file their two-year license continuation as the Commissioner directs. The law removes the stated filing windows: 90 days before expiration or 30 days afterward with a late fee. It also removes the related fee caps. Public adjuster licenses must show a mailing address…
