MS Code § 83-17-65 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 83 - Insurance|Chapter 17 - Insurance Agents, Solicitors, or Adjusters|Article 2 - Licensing of Insurance Producers|§ 83-17-65. Nonresident licenses

  Unless denied licensure pursuant to Section 83-17-71, a nonresident person shall receive a nonresident producer license if:   The person is currently licensed as a resident and is in good standing in his or her home state;   The person has submitted the proper request for licensure and has paid the fees required by Section 27-15-87;   The person has submitted or transmitted to the commissioner the application for licensure that the person submitted to his or her home state, or a completed uniform application; and   The person's home state awards nonresident producer licenses to residents of this state on the same basis.     The commissioner may verify the producer's licensing status through the producer database maintained by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, its affiliates or subsidiaries.   A nonresident producer who moves from one (1) state to another state or a resident producer who moves from this state to another state shall file a change of address and provide certification from the new resident state within thirty (30) days of the change of legal residence. No fee or license application is required.   Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, a person licensed as a surplus lines producer in his or her home state shall receive a nonresident surplus lines producer license in accordance with subsection (1) of this section. Except as to subsection (1) of this section, nothing in this section otherwise amends or supersedes any provision of Sections 83-21-17 through 83-21-31.   Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, a person licensed as a limited line credit insurance or other type of limited lines producer in his or her home state shall receive a nonresident limited lines producer license in accordance with subsection (1) of this section, granting the same scope of authority as granted under the license issued by the producer's home state. For the purposes of this subsection, limited line insurance is any authority granted by the home state which restricts the authority of the license to less than the total authority prescribed in the associated major lines under Section 83-17-63(1)(a) through (f).   Notwithstanding any other provision of this article to the contrary, a person licensed in this state as a nonresident producer whose license is denied, suspended or revoked in his or her home state shall also have his or her nonresident license denied, suspended or revoked in this state without prior notice or hearing. The commissioner shall notify the nonresident producer, by United States regular mail sent to the nonresident producer's last-known address on file at the Insurance Department, that the nonresident producer's license has been denied, suspended or revoked. The nonresident producer may within ten (10) days of the date of the letter make written request to the department for hearing before the commissioner to determine the reasonableness of the commissioner's action. The hearing shall be held within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the written request.
