Jonathan is a licensed resident insurance producer whose biennial license renewal date is November 30. During the final months of his current compliance cycle, the following events occur:

- On October 5, he permanently moves his primary residence to a new address within his resident state.
- On October 20, a final administrative order is issued by a neighboring state's insurance department, revoking his non-resident producer license in that jurisdiction.
- As of November 1, Jonathan has completed a total of 24 hours of continuing education (CE), which consists of 23 hours of general CE and 1 hour of ethics CE.

Under standard state insurance regulations regarding license maintenance, which of the following statements are correct? (Select all that apply)

  1. He must formally notify his resident state's Department of Insurance of his change of address no later than November 4.Answer
  2. He must report the out-of-state administrative license revocation to his resident state's Commissioner no later than November 19.Answer
  3. C
    He has successfully fulfilled his CE requirements for the current biennial compliance period because he has accumulated the mandatory minimum of 24 total hours.
  4. D
    He is permitted to delay reporting the out-of-state administrative revocation until his November 30 renewal, provided he fully discloses the disciplinary action on his renewal application.

Answer

Jonathan must notify the Department of Insurance of his change of address by November 4 and report the administrative revocation by November 19.
The correct statements accurately apply the standard 30-day statutory reporting windows for both a change of address and final administrative actions.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Calculate the deadline for reporting the change of address.
October 5 + 30 days = November 4.
Standard state regulations require a change of address to be reported within 30 days.
2
Calculate the deadline for reporting the administrative action.
October 20 + 30 days = November 19.
Administrative actions from other jurisdictions must be reported within 30 days of final disposition.
3
Evaluate the continuing education hours against statutory minimums.
Total hours (24) are met, but ethics hours (1) fall short of the 3-hour minimum.
License renewal requires both a total hour threshold and a specific ethics sub-requirement.
