Cameron represented by Nathan Faragher (ID); Jennifer Hammer represented by Reid McClintock (IL); Nancy G. Atkins (KY); Patrick M. McPharlin represented by Michelle Riddering (MI); Mike Chaney represented by Vanessa Miller (MS); Chlora Lindley-Myers represented by Mary Johnson (MO); Mike Causey represented by Kathy Shortt (NC); Bruce R. Ramge represented by Peg Jasa (NE); Roger A. Sevigny represented by John Elias (NH); Maria T. Vullo represented by Scott Fischer (NY); Jillian Froment represented by Whitney Fitch (OH); John D. Doak represented by Glenn Disher and Tyler Laughlin (OK); Raymond G. Farmer represented by Lee Hill (SC); Kent Sullivan represented by Jamie Walker (TX); Todd E. Kiser represented by Randal Overstreet (UT); Scott A. White represented by Van Tompkins (VA); Michael S. Pieciak represented by Kevin Gaffney (VT); Mike Kreidler represented by Jeff Baughman (WA); and Ted Nickel represented by Cari Lee (WI). 1. Adopted its 2017 Fall National Meeting Minutes Mr. Baughman made a motion, seconded by Director Deiter, to adopt the Task Force’s Dec. 2, 2017, minutes (see NAIC Proceedings – Fall 2017, Producer Licensing (D) Task Force). The motion passed unanimously. 2. Adopted Recommended Approved/Not Approved Topics for CE Credit Commissioner Richardson said the list of topics was developed to provide greater uniformity among states regarding what topics should and should not be approved for producer continuing education (CE) credit. Director Deiter made a motion, seconded by Mr. Murray, to adopt the Recommended Approved/Not Approved Topics for CE Credit. The motion passed unanimously. 3. Disbanded the Independent Adjuster Licensing (D) Working Group Commissioner Richardson recognized the work of Mr. Baughman and the efforts of the Independent Adjuster Licensing (D) Working Group. To help focus the efforts of the Task Force and support the broader efforts of the NAIC membership to streamline Working Group activities, Commissioner Richardson suggested the Adjuster Licensing (D) Working Group be disbanded and the charges of the Working Group be addressed by the Task Force, as needed. Director Deiter made a motion, seconded by Mr. Elias, to disband the Working Group and have the charges of the Working Group addressed by the Task Force, as needed. The motion passed unanimously. 4. Adopted the Report of the Producer Licensing Uniformity (D) Working Group Mr. Murray said the Working Group has been reviewing suggested revisions to the NAIC uniform applications for producers and adjusters. Mr. Murray said the Working Group solicited comments in November 2017 and will hold monthly conference calls to continue the review of suggested revisions. Wes Bissett (Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America—IIABA) said he is concerned with the number of suggested revisions and is concerned the Working Group will incorporate some suggested revisions based upon the preference of one state. Mr. Bissett said state insurance regulators are reviewing regulatory requirements in response to changes in technology, and much of this focus is on simplification of regulatory standards. Mr. Bissett said he hopes the Working Group remains focused on simplicity and efficiency. Commissioner Richardson agreed and requested a motion to adopt the report of the Working Group, with the appointment of Mr. Murray as chair and Karen Vourvopoulos (OH) as vice chair. Mr. Baughman made a motion, seconded by Ms. Ferguson, to adopt the report of the Working Group (Attachment One). The motion passed unanimously.

5. Adopted the Report of the Uniform Education (D) Working Group Ms. Riddering said the Working Group will begin its review of the NAIC Continuing Education Reciprocity Agreement and Uniform Continuing Education Reciprocity Course Filing Form. Commissioner Richardson said she understands Ms. Riddering would not be able to chair the Working Group in 2018 and said Rachel Chester (RI) has agreed to chair the Working Group. Mr. Murray made a motion, seconded by Mr. Elias, to adopt the report of the Working Group (Attachment Two), with the appointment of Ms. Chester as chair. The motion passed unanimously. 6. Heard a Report from the NIPR Board of Directors Karen Stakem Hornig (National Insurance Producer Registry—NIPR) said the NIPR Board of Directors met March 23 and approved NIPR’s strategic plan, “NIPR 2020: Focused on the Future.” Over the next three years, NIPR will focus on exceptional customer service, innovation, technological excellence and stability. The Board heard a report from the NIPR Audit Committee regarding which reported NIPR revenues were 9.8% over budget and 9.8% above revenues for the prior year. NIPR released its 2017 annual report. Ms. Stakem Hornig said NIPR processed more than 29 million transactions in 2017, an all-time high. Laurie Wolf (NIPR) said each state insurance regulator on the Task Force should have a sample of NIPR’s State Dashboard in front of them. The dashboard provides an overview of the services that NIPR provides for each state or jurisdiction. Ms. Wolf said the dashboard highlights the six key technical challenges caused by the lack of uniformity that exists in the states. These areas included insurance producer license type, six major lines of authority, four core limited lines of authority, biennial birth month renewal cycle, state fee on license level and a 90-day license renewal window. Ms. Wolf said greater uniformity in these areas could improve the quality of service NIPR provides. Ms. Wolf said NIPR initially distributed the dashboards to the insurance commissioners during the 2016 Summer National Meeting and again at the 2017 Fall National Meeting. Ms. Wolf said NIPR also provided them to state producer licensing staff of each state and has been working closely with them to provide education and guidance on these six key areas.
Ms. Wolf said NIPR has made great progress on the recommended best practices, and 43 jurisdictions have agreed to adopt at least one or more of the recommended changes. For example, Ms. Wolf said more than 30 states have adopted the Producer Licensing Model Act “Insurance Producer” license class name instead of using other variations, including producer, agent, broker and insurance professional. Ms. Wolf said the work is ongoing, and NIPR plans to have further discussions about the dashboard during the NAIC/NIPR Insurance Summit in June. Ms. Wolf said each Task Force member also has in front of them maps showing which states are using NIPR products as of March 8. Ms. Wolf encouraged states to review the maps and contact NIPR about any of their products. 7. Discussed Licensing Examination Standards David Leifer (American Council of Life Insurers—ACLI) said the ACLI submitted a comment letter in February requesting the Task Force and Producer Licensing Uniformity (D) Working Group adopt criteria for states conducting annual reviews of their producer examinations. Mr. Leifer said the procedures and policies for these reviews can vary greatly from state-to-state. Commissioner Richardson agreed this is important but said the next priority for the Task Force and Working Group is business entity licensing standards. Having no further business, the Producer Licensing (D) Task Force adjourned. W:\National Meetings\2018\Spring\TF\PLTF\Minutes 3.24.18.docx
