Purpose


Rule Chapter 69B-227, F.A.C., establishes requirements for prelicensing courses and course providers for insurance agents and other licensees of the Department. The proposed amendment requires that the school official designated by the provider is subject to approval by the Department. The amendment also provides standards for approval of bail bond course instructors. The amendment shortens the Department’s time to approve a course offering from 15 to 5 days. The amendment also requires the actual instructional time to match the number of hours indicated in the offering application submitted to the Department. The amendment prohibits instructors and school officials from soliciting or receiving login information relating to Department databases. The amendment also prohibits providers, instructors, and school officials from providing a study manual which is available from a vendor identified by the Department. The amendment further prohibits providers, instructors, and school officials from soliciting or receiving material contained in a licensing examination. A new rule is added to provide standards for the suspension or revocation of authorization of providers, instructors and school officials.
