Are there any exemptions from Continuing Education requirements?
Yes. The insurance code provides an exemption from continuing education if the licensee is: 65 years of age or older, with at least 15 years of experience as a licensed agent, broker or solicitor and either: a) no longer actively engaged in the business of insurance and are receiving social security benefits (if eligible). b) actively engaged in the business of insurance and represents or operates through a licensed Louisiana insurer. Eligible licensees should contact the Agent Licensing Division to obtain the form necessary for exemption.
• Ans: Currently, there is no CE requirement for renewal of Independent Adjuster, Bail Bond, Mortgage Guarantee, Re-insurance Intermediary or Viatical Settlement licenses. Holders of all other licenses must complete the CE requirement as a condition of renewing those licenses. Circular Letter No. 8 (2003) provides for the exemption from CE requirements for those licensees currently serving active military duty.
