HB 4565 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Exempt those with 25 years holding an insurance license from attaining additional CEUs

HB 4565 would amend West Virginia law to exempt insurance producers who have held an active license for 20 years or more from completing additional continuing education (CE) hours beyond the standard requirements. This change directly affects experienced insurance agents selling life, health, property, casualty, or other permitted insurance lines. The bill modifies existing rules (§33-12-8) by removing the biennial CE hour requirement for these long-tenured professionals, while maintaining standard CE obligations for others. It does not alter CE requirements for new agents or those with fewer years of licensure. The exemption applies only to producers who meet the 20-year threshold, not to those selling specific products like credit insurance.
