Answer

The activities that require a producer license are negotiating the terms of an insurance contract and receiving a commission based on an insurance sale.
State insurance regulations mandate that an active producer license is required for any individual who sells, solicits, or negotiates insurance. Additionally, receiving any commission directly tied to the sale of an insurance policy strictly requires a license. Therefore, negotiating contract terms and earning percentage-based sales commissions are activities that require licensure.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the first activity regarding the negotiation of contracts.
Determined that negotiating insurance contracts directly involves the transaction of insurance.
State laws require anyone who solicits, negotiates, or sells insurance to hold an active license.
2
Analyze the second activity regarding the receipt of commissions.
Determined that receiving sales-based compensation requires a license.
Insurance commissions can only be legally paid to duly licensed producers.
3
Evaluate the remaining activities involving group enrollment information and scheduling.
Identified these as legally exempt activities.
Clerical tasks and non-commissioned group enrollment duties fall under standard statutory exemptions from licensing.
