PA ACCELERATES LICENSE PROCESSING

The Pennsylvania Insurance Department has improved its overall cycle time for the producer license application process. The processing time –once all documentation is received – has decreased from over 20 days to under 10 days. One reason for the change: The Department now receives criminal history clearances from the FBI electronically, rather than through the mail.

CA TO REQUIRE LICENSE NUMBER ON EMAILS

If you hold a license in California, a new law now requires you to include your CA license number on emails to California customers as of Jan. 1, 2023. Existing law already required licensees to include license numbers and the word “insurance” on business cards, quotes, and print ads, as well as on a website if any internet advertising was done.
