§ 1711. Temporary licensing.
(a) The Insurance Commissioner may issue a temporary license for a period not to exceed 180 days without requiring an examination if the Insurance Commissioner deems that the temporary license is necessary for the servicing of an insurance business in the following cases:
(1) To the surviving spouse or court-appointed personal representative of a licensee who dies or becomes mentally or physically disabled to allow adequate time for the sale of the insurance business owned by the licensee or for the recovery or return of the licensee to the business or to provide for the training and licensing of new personnel to operate the licensee’s business;
(2) To a member or employee of a business entity licensed as an insurance producer, adjuster or appraiser, upon the death or disability of an individual designated in the business entity application or the license;
(3) To the designee of a licensee entering active service in the armed forces of the United States of America; or
(4) In any other circumstance where the Insurance Commissioner deems that the public interest will best be served by the issuance of this license.
(b) The Insurance Commissioner may by order limit the authority of any temporary licensee in any way deemed necessary to protect insureds and the public. The Insurance Commissioner may require the temporary licensee to have a suitable sponsor who is a licensed producer, adjuster, appraiser or insurer, as applicable, and who assumes responsibility for all acts of the temporary licensee and may impose other similar requirements designed to protect insureds and the public. The Insurance Commissioner may by order revoke a temporary license if the interest of insureds or the public are endangered. A temporary license may not continue after the owner or the personal representative disposes of the business.
