Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

14-month notice and renewals for producers

If you place policies with more than one property and casualty insurer, the company must give you 14 months' written notice before canceling your authority. It must also give 14 months' notice before letting your license expire because of that cancellation. After a cancellation notice, for 14 months the company must renew your expiring policies that meet its underwriting rules. It must pay you the same rate as in your expiring contract for those renewals.

180-day notice for contract and pay changes

A property and casualty insurer must give you written notice at least 180 days before changing your producer contract. Any change to your pay counts as a contract change. The 180-day written notice rule applies to pay changes too.

Exceptions to producer notice and renewals

The 14-month notice and renewal rules do not apply if you were convicted of a dishonest act related to insurance work. They also do not apply if your producer license was revoked, your company surrendered its state license, or you are an employee of the insurer.
