In May of this year, Agency Checklists reported that the Division of Insurance had informed both the Insurance Library Association of Boston and the MAIA of new reporting requirements for all Massachusetts resident producers. Following the notification to both of these organizations which provide Continuing Education classes for insurance producers, the Division has reissued an official announcement of this change in the Continuing Education Law this week. The following is a reprint of that announcement:
Pursuant to Chapter 139 of the Acts of 2014, in order to renew your Massachusetts Insurance Producer License you must have completed your required continuing education credits prior to your license renewal date. Failure to complete your continuing education credits prior to your renewal date may result in additional monetary penalties and reinstatement fees. Non-Compliance with Massachusetts Continuing Education requirements may also result in the suspension of your License.
To be in compliance with Massachusetts continuing education requirements; all licensees are required to take continuing education courses must include a three (3) hour course on ethics among those courses taken..
To assure timely renewal of your license, be sure to allow enough time for your continuing education credits to appear on your transcript prior to your license renewal date.”
