It is a brief summary of select laws and rules and is not complete. It is suggested that agents obtain a complete copy of the Wisconsin Administrative Code and the Statutes from our Web site (oci.wi.gov) or from the Department of Administration, Document Sales and Distribution, 202 South Thornton Avenue, Madison, WI 53702, telephone (608) The Wisconsin Insurance Laws are also available from NILS Publishing Company, Bahama Street, P. O. Box 2507, Chatsworth, CA An applicant for an agent license has to pass a written examination. Each person taking an examination will be responsible for knowing the material covered in Chapters I, II, III, and VII as well as other chapters which specifically apply to the line or lines of insurance for which the person wants to be licensed. The guide presents the material in a question and answer format. It should be read carefully and completely. An effort has been made to simplify complex statutory language. If an answer or example seems confusing, misleading, or incorrect, readers should consult the applicable statute or insurance rule. Most answers include numbers in brackets [ ] to a specific state statute and/or administrative rule. Some of the examples in the general material of Chapters I, II, and III use fact situations which pertain to a particular line of insurance. These examples illustrate certain points only and do not mean that a person applying for one type of license would be expected to be knowledgeable in another insurance line. A statute is a state law passed by the Wisconsin Legislature. In this guide, statutory references have an s. or a ch. before them, as in s or ch This refers the reader to a particular section or chapter of the Wisconsin Statutes (Wis. Stat.). An insurance rule implements the general requirements of the law. In this guide, an insurance rule has an s. Ins before it, as in s. Ins 3.27, which refers the reader to s. Ins 3.27 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code (Wis. Adm. Code). The commissioner promulgates insurance rules under authority delegated to the commissioner by the Wisconsin Legislature. The office will update the guide periodically but readers should not rely solely on the material in this guide to stay informed of statute and rule changes. This guide is not intended to be a complete summary of the statutes and rules about which agents should be aware. Agents should also pay particular attention to the Wisconsin Insurance News, the quarterly newsletter available on the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance (OCI) Web site (oci.wi.gov). This is prepared by the commissioner s office. OCI also maintains several electronic mailing lists used to announce the issuance of bulletins to insurers, press releases, and/or the availability of the latest edition of the Wisconsin Insurance News. Readers may subscribe to one or more of OCI s electronic mailing lists online at 45 56 CHAPTER I POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE COMMISSIONER Wisconsin statutory law vests the commissioner with broad powers and duties to protect the public and to ensure that the insurance industry meets the insurance needs of Wisconsin citizens responsibly and adequately. These powers and duties are exercised in accordance with procedures designed to assure due process and judicial safeguards. The commissioner has broad rule-making authority, limited only by the proposed rule s relevance to the related statutes and by general legal and constitutional restraints. The commissioner supplements statutory law by interpreting that law through the formal processes of rule-making and adjudication, and by informal executive decisions. Rule-making builds up a body of insurance regulation which is a guide to regulated interests and the general public. The rule-making procedure includes the publishing of proposed rules and an invitation for comment at a scheduled hearing. This procedure permits people to express their opinions about the proposed rule s impact on their businesses, activities, and interests, and helps the commissioner formulate rules based on sound public policy considerations. The commissioner has wide power to issue orders to enforce the statutes and rules. The existence of such enforcement powers enables the commissioner to negotiate settlements and induce compliance in most instances without the necessity of taking formal disciplinary action. However, the commissioner will use enforcement powers if the particular situation demands it. The commissioner has full administrative power of investigation, usually exercised through investigatory, educational, or multi-purpose hearings. GENERAL POWERS WHAT ARE THE COMMISSIONER S GENERAL DUTIES AND POWERS? The commissioner is responsible for administering and enforcing the insurance laws of Wisconsin. The commissioner must act as promptly as possible on all matters placed before the office. The commissioner and the office possess all the powers specifically granted or reasonably implied by the statutes. This enables the office to perform the duties necessary to enforce the law, including adoption of rules. [s ] MAY THE COMMISSIONER ISSUE ORDERS? The commissioner is empowered to issue all prohibitory, mandatory, and other orders as are necessary to secure compliance with the law. 67 At the request of any person who would be affected by an order, the commissioner may issue a declaratory order to clarify the person s rights and duties under Wisconsin law. No rule or order may be issued as a result of a hearing unless the statutory requirements for administrative procedures are met. [s (4)] MAY THE COMMISSIONER REQUIRE PERSONS TO SUBMIT REPORTS AND OTHER MATERIAL? (Persons as used in this context include intermediaries, individuals, insurers, agencies, and other corporate entities.) The commissioner has the authority to require from any person subject to regulation under Wisconsin insurance law: Statements, reports, answers to questionnaires, and other information in whatever reasonable form the commissioner designates and at such reasonable intervals as the commissioner may choose; and Full explanation of the programming of any data processing system, computer, or any other information storage system or communication system in use. The commissioner may prescribe forms for the reports and specify who must execute or certify them. The commissioner may require verification of any report. The commissioner may prescribe reasonable data handling standards and techniques to ensure that timely, reliable information will be available. [s ] WHAT PERSONS ARE REQUIRED TO REPLY TO THE COMMISSIONER S REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION? The following persons are required to reply promptly in writing or in any other designated form, to any written inquiry from the commissioner requesting a reply: Any officer, manager, or general agent of any insurer, authorized to do or doing an insurance business in Wisconsin; Any person controlling or having a contract under which he or she has a right to control such an insurer, whether exclusively or otherwise; Any person with executive authority over the affairs of an insurer; and Any insurance intermediary or other person licensed under the insurance laws. Failure to reply may result in penalties. [s (4)] 78 EXAMINATION POWERS AND DUTIES WHAT POWER OF EXAMINATION DOES THE COMMISSIONER HAVE? The commissioner has the power to examine the affairs and condition of the persons listed below whenever the commissioner deems it necessary to be informed about any matter related to the enforcement of the insurance laws. These persons include: Any licensee under insurance laws (including insurers, intermediaries, navigators, corporations, etc.); Any applicant for a license; Any person or organization transacting, or in the process of organizing to transact, the insurance business in this state; Any advisory organization serving any of the above in Wisconsin; and Any prelicensing school, continuing education provider, course, or instructor. The commissioner may determine the scope of each examination and must take into account all relevant factors, including but not limited to: Length of time the examinee has been doing business; Length of time the examinee has been licensed in Wisconsin; Nature of the business being examined; and Nature of the accounting records available and the nature of the examinations performed elsewhere. The examination of an insurer domiciled in another country is limited to insurance transactions and assets in the United States, unless the commissioner orders otherwise after finding that extraordinary circumstances necessitate a broader examination. [s ] DOES THE COMMISSIONER HAVE ANY DUTY TO EXAMINE? The commissioner is required to examine every domestic insurer (an insurer created and organized under Wisconsin law) and every licensed rate service organization. [s (2) (a)] WHAT INFORMATION MUST THE EXAMINEE MAKE AVAILABLE TO THE COMMISSIONER? On demand, every examinee must make available to the commissioner any of its own accounts, records, documents, or evidences of transactions as well as the accounts, records, documents, and evidence of transactions of any persons who may be examined collaterally. 89 Failure to comply is deemed to constitute concealment of records, a possible ground for liquidation of the business of the examinee. However, if the examinee is unable to obtain the accounts, records, documents, or evidences of transactions from other persons, failure will not be deemed concealment if the examinee immediately terminates its relationship with such persons. [s (1) (c)] WHO PAYS THE COST OF EXAMINATIONS CONDUCTED BY THE COMMISSIONER? For domestic insurers, the costs of examination are apportioned among all domestic insurers based on a formula related to premiums written in the state. For nondomestic and town mutual insurers, reasonable costs of the examination are paid by the examinee unless the commissioner finds that payment would place an unreasonable burden on the examinee. Prelicensing schools and continuing education providers may be billed for reasonable costs of an examination. The costs include the salaries and expenses of the examiners and any other expenses which may be directly apportioned to the examination. Payment is due 10 days after the examinee has been served a detailed account of the costs. [s , ss. Ins 16.01, (3), (3)] WHAT ABOUT COLLATERAL EXAMINATIONS? As far as reasonably necessary for an examination, the commissioner may examine the accounts, records, documents, or evidences of transactions of: Any officer, manager, general agent, employee, or person who is in charge of any segment of the examinee s affairs; Any person controlling or having the right to control the examinee, whether exclusively or with others; Any person under the control of the examinee; or Any person under the control of a person who controls or has a right to control the examinee whether exclusively or with others. [s (1) (b)] DOES THE COMMISSIONER HAVE ACCESS TO ANY OTHER RECORDS DURING THE EXAMINATION PROCESS? The commissioner s office has access to the records of any agency of the state government or of any political subdivision. [s ] 910 ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES WHEN ARE HEARINGS REQUIRED? The commissioner must hold a hearing before issuing an order or rule whenever the insurance laws or the administrative procedure requirements expressly provide for a hearing. Unless the insurance laws prescribe special procedures, all hearings must comply with the procedures set out in ch. 227, Wis. Stat., and ch. Ins 5, Wis. Adm. Code. The statutes do provide for the summary suspension of an intermediary s or navigator s license if the commissioner finds that public health, safety, and welfare requires emergency action. If the intermediary or navigator fails to pay a fee when due, the commissioner may revoke the license without a hearing. If the commissioner and the intermediary or navigator agree, an intermediary or navigator may consent to a revocation without a hearing. The commissioner may revoke the license of a person who fails to comply with continuing education standards. Otherwise, the commissioner may revoke, suspend, or limit a permanent license of an intermediary or navigator only after a hearing and an opportunity for judicial review. The commissioner must hold a public hearing before adopting any rule unless the rule is procedural rather than substantive, is an emergency rule, or is an exception listed under s of the Administrative Procedure Act. The commissioner may hold informal hearings and public meetings for the purposes of investigation, for ascertaining public sentiment, or to inform the public. [ss , , , (2) (b), ch. 227] DOES AN APPLICANT FOR AN INTERMEDIARY LICENSE HAVE A RIGHT TO A HEARING AFTER THE COMMISSIONER S DECISION NOT TO ISSUE A LICENSE TO THE APPLICANT? Before being granted an original license in a particular line of insurance, the applicant must show the commissioner that he or she is competent and trustworthy. Applicants have the right to a hearing to appeal the commissioner s decision not to issue a license. Such hearing and appeal must comply with the procedures set forth in ch. 227, Wis. Stat. When an order is issued without a hearing, any aggrieved person may demand a hearing within 30 days after the mailing of the order. Failure to demand a hearing within 30 days constitutes a waiver of the right to a hearing. The demand for a hearing must be made in writing and served on the commissioner directly or left at the commissioner s office. The commissioner must hold the requested hearing not less than 10 days or more than 60 days after delivery of the request for a hearing. [s , s. Ins 6.59] MAY A PERSON REQUEST A REHEARING OF A PREVIOUS HEARING S DECISION? After a final order is entered, any aggrieved person may request a rehearing within 20 days. The filing of a petition for re-hearing does not suspend or delay the effective 1011 date of the order unless the petition is granted or the order is superseded, modified, or set aside as provided by law. The commissioner may grant a re-hearing only if there was a material error of law or fact, or if new evidence is discovered which merits reversing or modifying the order. If the commissioner has not acted on the petition within 20 days after its filing, the petition is considered to have been denied. [s ] IS A PERSON REQUIRED TO TESTIFY AND GIVE EVIDENCE AT A HEARING? No person is excused from attending, testifying, or giving evidence on the grounds that the testimony or evidence required from the person may tend to incriminate the person or subject the person to a penalty or forfeiture. After claiming the privilege against self-incrimination and being forced to testify, a person may not be criminally prosecuted for any act upon which the person is compelled to testify or produce evidence. A person is not exempt, however, from prosecution and punishment for perjury, false swearing, or contempt committed in testifying. [s (5)] WHAT ENFORCEMENT SANCTIONS ARE AVAILABLE TO THE COMMISSIONER? Whenever a person fails to comply with an order, the commissioner may start a legal action directing the person to comply with the commissioner s order and restraining that person from further noncompliance. In addition, forfeitures, civil penalties, and criminal sanctions may be levied by the commissioner. [s ] WHAT IS A COMPULSIVE FORFEITURE? After a person has failed to comply with an order, the commissioner may give notice of intent to proceed with a compulsive forfeiture. If the person fails to comply with the order within two weeks after the notice is given, the commissioner may start a legal action for a compulsive forfeiture in the amount a court would consider just. Such forfeiture cannot exceed $5,000 for each day that the violation continues between the commencement of the action and the time the court renders its judgment. No compulsive forfeiture will be imposed if the person had complied with the order by the time the action was started. If any violation of an order occurred while any proceeding for judicial review of the order was pending, a compulsive forfeiture will not be imposed unless the court certifies that the claim of invalidity or nonapplicability of the order was frivolous or a sham. If the person refuses to obey the order after a judgment is rendered, the commissioner may begin a new action for a compulsive forfeiture and may continue commencing such actions until the person complies with the order. [s (2)] 1112 WHAT ABOUT FORFEITURES AND CIVIL PENALTIES? Any person who violates an effective order or any insurance statute or rule may be required to forfeit to the state, in addition to any other forfeiture imposed, twice the amount of any profit gained from the violation. Any person who violates an order after proper notice may be required to forfeit to the state not more than $1,000 for each violation. Each day the violation continues constitutes a separate offense. Any person who violates an insurance statute or rule may be required to forfeit to the state not more than $1,000 for each violation. If the statute or rule imposes a duty to make a periodic or recurring report to the commissioner, each week of delay in complying with the duty constitutes a new violation. [s (3)] Forfeiture of up to $1,000 may be levied against firms for violations by an insurance agent of a provision of an insurance statute or rule if the violation is in connection with an insurance policy or group certificate obtained or to be obtained through the firm if: The firm regularly utilizes the insurance agent to market insurance policies or group certificates; The primary insurance marketing activities of the insurance agent are in connection with insurance policies or group certificates obtained or to be obtained through or from the firm; or The insurance agent is employed by or is under contract with the firm to market insurance policies or group certificates. A firm means a person that markets insurance but does not include an insurer. [s ] A person who is ordered to pay a forfeiture may demand a hearing. If the person fails to request a hearing, the order is conclusive as to the person s liability. The scope of review for forfeitures is as specified under s , Wis. Stat. [s (3) (d)] WHAT ABOUT CRIMINAL PENALTIES? A person who: Intentionally violates; Intentionally permits any person over whom he or she has authority to violate; or Intentionally aids any person in violating; any insurance statute or rule of this state or any effective order issued by the commissioner may be fined not more than $5,000 or imprisoned for a period not to exceed three years or both. A corporation may be fined not more than $10,000. These penalties apply unless a specific penalty is provided elsewhere in the statutes. 1213 Intentionally means that the person acting intends to do something or cause a specific result or believes an act will cause a specific result. [s (4)] WHAT IS THE INSURANCE SECURITY FUND? The Insurance Security Fund was established to provide certain protections to insureds in the event of an insurer's liquidation. Money in the fund comes from assessments against all insurers, with limited exceptions, licensed to transact business in the state. The fund is administered by a board of directors to include the Attorney General, the State Treasurer and the Commissioner of Insurance. The primary duty of the board is to oversee the adjudication process of unpaid claims to cases where a court has issued an order of liquidation against an insurer authorized to do business in the state. [ch. 646] 1314 CHAPTER II INSURANCE MARKETING Chapter 628, Wis. Stat., on insurance law has three main parts: the licensing of insurance intermediaries, regulation of insurance marketing practices, and compensation of insurance intermediaries. Under the statutes, the term intermediary is used to include all the varieties of agency representation of either policyholders or insurance companies in the marketing of insurance. The different classes of intermediaries are: intermediary, intermediary-partnerships and corporations, intermediary-surplus lines agents and brokers, managing general agents, reinsurance intermediary brokers and managers, and life settlement brokers. Wisconsin law places some restrictions on combining different intermediary roles in the same transaction. The licensing of intermediaries is concerned solely with the qualifications of the person applying for the insurance license. The essential requirement is that the insurance intermediary be trustworthy and competent. The competence includes a basic understanding of fundamental insurance law as well as particular knowledge concerning specific statutes and rules. Wisconsin insurance statutes outline and define the general requirements which the insurance intermediary must follow. In addition, the insurance intermediary must understand and follow the administrative code which has been adopted by the commissioner. General statutory language is expanded and clarified by rule in the administrative code by describing for agents and companies the practices that are allowed and/or prohibited. The standards of professional conduct set out in the statutes and these rules will be strictly enforced by the commissioner. WHAT IS AN INTERMEDIARY? Intermediary means an agent, broker or producer and any person, partnership or corporation requiring a license. [ch. 628, Wis. Stat.] A person is an intermediary if the person does or assists another in any of the following: Soliciting, negotiating, or placing insurance or annuities on behalf of an insurer or a person seeking insurance or annuities; or Advising other persons about insurance needs and coverages. The following persons, however, are not considered intermediaries under Wisconsin law: A regular salaried officer, employee, or other representative of an insurer or licensed intermediary, who devotes substantially all working time to activities other than those listed immediately above and does not receive any compensation that is directly dependent upon the amount of insurance business obtained; 1415 A regular salaried officer or employee or a person seeking to procure insurance, who receives no compensation that is directly dependent upon the amount of insurance coverage procured; A person who gives incidental advice in the normal course of a business or professional activity other than insurance consulting. Neither the person nor the person s employer may receive compensation directly or indirectly on account of any insurance transaction that results from such advice; A person who, without special compensation, performs incidental services for another at another s request without providing advice or technical or professional services of the kind normally provided by an intermediary; A holder of a group insurance policy, or any other person involved in mass marketing, with respect to the person s administrative activities in connection with the policy. Such a person may not receive any compensation for the administrative work beyond actual expenses which can be estimated on a reasonable basis; A person who provides information, advice, or service for the principal purpose of reducing loss or risk; A person who gives advice or assistance without compensation, directly or indirectly; or A travel retailer, or an employee or authorized representative of a travel retailer, that offers and disseminates travel insurance. A vendor, or an employee or authorized representative of a vendor selling or offering portable electronics insurance. A person whose activities are limited to marketing, selling, or offering for sale a warranty contract, maintenance agreement, or service contract. [s (1)] WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF INTERMEDIARIES? INTERMEDIARY-INSURANCE AGENT An intermediary is an insurance agent if the intermediary acts as an intermediary other than as a broker. [s (4)] INTERMEDIARY-BROKER An intermediary is an insurance broker if the intermediary acts in the procuring of insurance on behalf of an applicant for insurance or an insured. An insurance broker does not act on behalf of the insurer except by collecting premiums or performing other ministerial acts. [s (3)] 1516 INTERMEDIARY-SURPLUS LINES AGENT OR BROKER A surplus lines agent or broker is one separately licensed to place insurance with unauthorized (nonlicensed) insurers. [ss (5), ] INTERMEDIARY-CORPORATIONS AND PARTNERSHIPS Partnerships and corporations in the insurance business in Wisconsin may be licensed. [s , s. Ins 6.58 (2)] REINSURANCE INTERMEDIARY-BROKER A reinsurance intermediary-broker places ceded reinsurance in this state and has an office, or does business in this state and has an office outside this state unless it is licensed under a similar law in another state. [s. Ins 47] REINSURANCE INTERMEDIARY-MANAGER A reinsurance intermediary-manager has significant authority regarding assumed reinsurance of an insurer and acts as its agent. [s. Ins 47] MANAGING GENERAL AGENT A person who manages all or part of the insurance business of an insurer or manages a separate division, department, or underwriting office; acts as an agent for the insurer; AND with or without the authority, either separately or together with affiliates, directly, or indirectly: a) produces and underwrites in any one quarter or year an amount of gross direct written premium equal to or more than 5% of the policyholder surplus as reported in the last annual statement of the insurer; and b) adjusts or pays claims in any one quarter or year in excess of 3% of the policyholder surplus as reported in the last annual statement of the insurer, or negotiates reinsurance on behalf of the insurer, or both. [s. Ins 42.01, s ] WHAT ARE THE REQUIRED CONTRACT PROVISIONS BETWEEN MANAGING GENERAL AGENTS AND INSURERS? No person may act as a managing general agent for an insurer unless the person first enters into and subsequently complies with a written contract between the parties which sets forth the responsibilities of each party and, where both parties share responsibility for a particular function, specifies the division of the responsibilities, and which contains the following minimum provisions: 1617 1) The insurer may terminate the contract for cause upon written notice to the managing general agent. The insurer may suspend the underwriting authority of the managing general agent during the pendency of any dispute regarding the cause for termination. 2) The managing general agent will render accounts to the insurer detailing all transactions and remit all funds due under the contract to the insurer on not less than a monthly basis. 3) All funds collected for the account of an insurer will be held by the managing general agent in a fiduciary capacity in a financial institution which is a member of the federal reserve system. This account shall be used for all payments on behalf of the insurer. The managing general agent may retain no more than 3 months estimated claims payments and allocated loss adjustment expenses. The managing general agent will maintain separate records of business written by the managing general agent for the insurer. The insurer and the commissioner shall have access to, and the right to copy, all accounts and records related to its business in a form usable by the insurer and the commissioner. 4) The managing general agent may not assign the contract in whole or in part. 5) Appropriate underwriting guidelines include, but are not limited to: a) the maximum annual premium volume; b) the basis of the rates to be charged; c) the types of risks which may be written; d) maximum limits of liability; e) applicable exclusions; f) territorial limitations; g) policy cancellation provisions, and h) the maximum policy period. 6) The insurer may cancel or not renew any policy of insurance subject to the applicable laws and rules. 7) If the contract permits the managing general agent to settle claims on behalf of the insurer the managing general agent: a) shall report all claims to the insurer in a timely manner; and b) shall send a copy of the claim file to the insurer at its request or as soon as it becomes known that the claim has equaled or exceeded or has the potential to equal or exceed an amount which is.5% of the insurer s policyholder surplus as of December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year or exceeds the limit set by the insurer, whichever is less; involves a coverage dispute; may exceed the managing general agent claims settlement authority; is open for more than 6 months; or is closed by payment of an amount equal to or greater than.5% of the insurer s policyholder surplus as of December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year or an amount set by the insurer, whichever is less. 8) All claim files will be the joint property of the insurer and managing general agent. However, upon an order of liquidation of the insurer the files shall become the sole property of the insurer or its estate. The contract may provide that the managing general agent may have reasonable access to and the right to copy the files on a timely basis. 9) Any settlement authority granted to the managing general agent may be terminated for cause upon the insurer s written notice to the managing general agent or upon the termination of the contract. The insurer may suspend the 1718 settlement authority during the pendency of any dispute regarding the cause for termination. 10) The managing general agent will timely transmit to the insurer appropriate data from electronic claims files. 11) If the contract provides for a sharing of interim profits by the managing general agent, and the managing general agent has the authority to determine the amount of the interim profits by establishing loss reserves or controlling claim payments, or in any other manner, interim profits will not be paid to the managing general agent until one year after they are earned for property insurance business and 5 years after they are earned on casualty business and not until the profits have been verified as required by law. 12) The managing general may not: a) bind reinsurance or retrocessions on behalf of the insurer, except that the managing general agent may bind facultative reinsurance contracts pursuant to obligatory facultative agreements if the contract with the insurer contains reinsurance underwriting guidelines including, for both reinsurance assumed and ceded, a list of reinsurers with which the automatic agreements are in effect, the coverages and amounts or percentages that may be reinsured and commission schedules; b) commit the insurer to participate in insurance or reinsurance syndicates; c) appoint any subproducer without assuring that the subproducer is lawfully licensed to transact the type of insurance for which the subproducer is appointed; d) without prior approval of the insurer, pay or commit the insurer to pay a claim over a specified amount, net of reinsurance, which shall not exceed 1% of the insurer s policyholder surplus as of December 31 of the last completed calendar year; e) collect any payment from a reinsurer, or commit the insurer to any claim settlement with a reinsurer, without prior approval of the insurer. If prior approval is given, a report must be promptly forwarded to the insurer; f) permit its sub-producer to serve on the insurer s board of directors; g) jointly employ an individual who is employed by the insurer; or h) appoint a submanaging general agent. [s. Ins 42.03, s ] WHAT IS A LIFE SETTLEMENT BROKER? Life settlement brokers replaced the licensing requirements for viatical settlement brokers. A life settlement broker is a person who, on behalf of an owner of a life insurance policy or certificate, and for a fee, commission, or other valuable consideration, offers or attempts to negotiate life settlement contracts between an owner and one or more providers, or one or more brokers. Life settlement brokers must apply for a license annually, maintain professional liability insurance, and have completed an initial training course relating to life settlements of not less than 8 hours, and not less than 4 hours every 24 months thereafter reported at a rate of no less than 2 hours each 12 months of each compliance period. [s (1) (b) 2.] WHAT IS A LIFE SETTLEMENT PROVIDER? Life settlement providers replaced the licensing requirements for viatical settlement providers. With some specified exceptions, a life settlement provider means a person, 1819 other than an owner, that enters into or effectuates a life settlement contract with an owner. Life settlement providers must apply for a license annually and demonstrate evidence of financial responsibility through either a surety bond, or a deposit of cash, certificates of deposit, or securities in the amount of $250,000. [s (1) (c) 2.] WHEN IS AN INTERMEDIARY REQUIRED TO GET A LICENSE? A person may not solicit, negotiate, sell or advertise any service as an intermediary in Wisconsin unless the person obtains a license. No person may use the services of another as an intermediary if the person knows or should know that the other does not have a license as required by law. The commissioner may by rule exempt certain classes of persons from the requirements of obtaining a license. Persons may be made exempt if the functions they perform do not require special competence or trustworthiness or the regulatory surveillance made possible by licensing, or if other existing safeguards make regulation unnecessary. An insurance contract is valid even if sold or serviced by an unlicensed intermediary. [s ] EXAMPLES Do the following persons need to be licensed under Wisconsin law? An employee or a collection agency that collects insurance premiums from delinquent policyholders. No. This is a purely administrative function which does not require the special qualifications of an insurance intermediary and does not come under s , Wis. Stat. A person who incidentally advises other persons about insurance needs and coverages during the normal course of his or her noninsurance-related business, and who receives no direct or indirect compensation on account of any transaction which results from the advice. No. This person comes under the exceptions in s , Wis. Stat., and is not an intermediary. A person who places insurance for an insurance company on a door-to-door basis. Yes. Under s , Wis. Stat., this person is an insurance marketing intermediary and is required to obtain a license. A person who advises other persons about insurance needs and coverages and is directly compensated by an insurance company or the insured. Yes. Under s , Wis. Stat., the person is an insurance marketing intermediary and is required to obtain a license. 1920 WHAT REQUIREMENTS MUST A PERSON MEET IN ORDER TO BE ISSUED A LICENSE? A person must qualify on his or her own merits. The commissioner must issue a license to act as an intermediary to any person, corporation, or partnership that pays the applicable fee and satisfies the commissioner that such person or entity meets the statutory requirements. The applicant must have the honest intention to do business as an intermediary. A corporation or partnership must have this intention spelled out in its articles of incorporation or association. The applicant must be competent and trustworthy. If the applicant is a corporation or partnership, its principal partners, officers, or directors must be competent and trustworthy. A competent and trustworthy intermediary must be well-informed on the kinds of insurance the intermediary is qualified to write. The intermediary must be able to analyze the insurance needs of clients and be able to recommend the type of insurance best suited to their respective needs. The intermediary may make no false statements or any misrepresentations by omission of facts, inference, or subterfuge in any relations with clients, insurance companies, or other intermediaries. The intermediary must take all reasonable steps so clients are informed as to the extent and limitations of coverage provided by their contracts. Intermediaries must manage agency financial affairs in accordance with the high standards applicable to a fiduciary. They must conform to all applicable insurance statutes and rules. [ss , , s. Ins 6.59] No intermediary may receive any compensation from an insurer for effecting insurance upon the intermediary s property, life or other risk unless during the preceding 12 months the intermediary had effected other insurance with the same insurer with aggregate premiums exceeding the premiums on the intermediary s risks. [s ] Residence in Wisconsin is not a requirement for licensing. If the applicant is not a resident of Wisconsin, the applicant must agree to be subject to the powers of the commissioner and the state courts on any matter related to the applicant s intermediary activities in the state. Wisconsin law does not require sponsorship by an insurance company for a person to qualify as an intermediary. [s (1) (d)] WHAT ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS ARE THERE FOR SURPLUS LINES AGENTS OR BROKERS? The commissioner may issue a license to an agent or broker authorized to place surplus lines insurance if the applicant shows to the satisfaction of the commissioner that he or she has the competence necessary to deal with the problems of surplus lines insurance. The commissioner may by rule require an agent or broker authorized to place surplus lines insurance to supply a bond not larger than $100,000, 20 View more
