PURPOSE:

The purpose of the proposed amendments is to implement changes made by Chapter 2012-209, Laws of Florida, to Section 626.2815, F.S. Effective October 1, 2014, licensees will be required to complete a 5-hour update course every 2 years which is specific to the license held by the licensee and cover insurance law updates, premium discounts, ethics, disciplinary trends, industry trends, and suitability of insurance products.  Since all licensees have 24 months to complete their continuing education requirements, the new law will affect those licensees who began their continuing education cycle on November 1, 2012 and will complete the cycle in October, 2014. The proposed rule amendments will allow continuing education providers to develop appropriate course materials, submit them for approval by the Department, and then offer the courses to licensees.
