An Act relative to continuing education of insurance producers
This bill amends Massachusetts insurance laws to allow licensed insurance producers to earn up to three hours of continuing education credit annually for maintaining an active membership in The National Association of Insurance and Financial Agents of Massachusetts. Under the new provision, producers who are required to complete at least 45 hours of education every 36 months can receive a maximum of nine hours of credit over that same period for their association membership. The legislation directly affects insurance agents and producers in the state by providing a specific pathway to fulfill part of their mandatory training requirements through professional association participation.
