UNIFORM LICENSING STANDARDS

The Working Group has requested state updates to the Uniform Licensing Standards Compliance Charts.  

The ULS charts were last updated in 2017. To confirm we have the correct information; we are asking each state to review the ULS Checklist and provide their responses. 

For any non-compliance areas please indicate whether it is due to a regulation/rule or a department process. In addition, if there is any legislation pending please update the chart with that information.

Please send your responses back to me at Gwelker@naic.org and Courtney.Khodabakhsh@oid.ok.gov by end of day on Thursday, November 21^st.

NAIC STATE LICENSING HANDBOOK REVIEW 

The Producer Licensing Uniformity (D) Working Group has been given the charge to:  Provide oversight and ongoing updates, as needed, to the State Licensing Handbook.

The Working Group distributed a  State Licensing Handbook checklist listing out each chapter with an option to select “YES or NO” whether the chapter should be opened for review. 

The Working Group met by conference call on September 10, 2024 to discuss the comments received and determine the chapters that may need further review.

The discussions generated a list of chapters that will need to be reviewed and are copied below.  The Working Group plans to meet on November 7, 2024 to discuss the chapters and determine a plan of action to finalize the review of each chapter.

Per these discussions the Working Group will provide a report to the Producer Licensing (D) Task Force with the findings and plan of action to review and potentially revise.

NAIC UNIFORM APPLICATION REVIEW (2024)

In 2018 the Working Group reviewed and adopted revisions to the uniform applications (Individual and Business Entity).  These revisions were not fully adopted by the NAIC Membership. This year direction has been given to the Working Group to review the current revisions, finalize necessary changes and adopt. Once adopted they will be presented to the Producer Licensing (D) Task Force.

To assist with the review a check list has been created with all revisions adopted during the 2018 review.  The checklist has 2 parts - "Initial" and "Renewal". 

The Working Group met by conference call through July to finalize the review and adopt the revisions.
