IN THE MATTER OF PUBLIC                                : HEARING FOR THE AMENDMENT OF                                                                              :

OHIO ADMINISTRATIVE CODE                         : NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING SECTION 3901-5-01                             :

 

 

 

Pursuant to section 119.03 of the Ohio Revised Code, the Superintendent of Insurance, State of Ohio, will hold a public hearing at 9:00 a.m., on Monday, November 30, 2015 at the Ohio Department of Insurance, Public Hearing Room, 50 West Town Street, 3rd Floor, Suite 300, Columbus, Ohio, to consider the amendment of Ohio Administrative Code section 3901-5-01 Agent continuing education..

 

The purpose of rule 3901-5-01 is to establish continuing education (CE) requirements, standards and procedures for insurance agents.

 

The purpose for amending rule 3901-5-01 is to allow the carry-over of CE credit hours to be applied as general credit hours for the next renewal period, amounting to no more than fifty per cent of the renewal requirement. By applying the hours as general credit hours, requirements such as ethics, surety bail bond, and title will still need to be completed within each period. Additional amendments include correcting an error in citation as well as clarifying that the department no longer issues transcripts by mail, as they are now accessible via online log-in through the department website or by direct request.

 

Requests for copies of these rules should be addressed to Tina Chubb, Ohio Department of Insurance, 50 West Town Street, 3rd Floor, Suite 300 Columbus, Ohio 43215, or the proposed rule can be viewed online at www.insurance.ohio.gov.
