Sec. 11. (a) If the commissioner considers the issuance of a temporary license necessary for the servicing of an insurance business, the commissioner, without requiring an examination, may issue a temporary insurance producer license for a period of not more than one hundred eighty (180) days to any of the following:
(1) To the surviving spouse or court-appointed personal representative of a licensed individual insurance producer who dies or becomes mentally or physically disabled:
(A) to allow adequate time for the sale of the insurance business owned by the producer;
(B) to provide for the servicing of the insurance business until the recovery or return of the producer to the business; or
(C) to provide for the training and licensing of new personnel to operate the producer's business.
(2) To a member or employee of a business entity licensed as an insurance producer, upon the death or disability of an individual designated in the business entity application or the license.
(3) To the designee of a licensed individual insurance producer entering active service in the armed forces of the United States of America.
(4) To an individual in any other circumstance where the commissioner considers the public interest to be best served by the issuance to the individual of a temporary insurance producer license.
(b) The commissioner may by order limit the authority of a temporary licensee in any way considered necessary to protect insureds and the public. The commissioner may require the temporary licensee to have a suitable sponsor who is a licensed producer or insurer and who assumes responsibility for all acts of the temporary licensee and may impose other, similar requirements designed to protect insureds and the public.
(c) The commissioner may by order revoke a temporary insurance producer license if the interest of insureds or the public are endangered. A temporary insurance producer license issued under subsection (a)(1)(A) expires at the time the owner or the personal representative disposes of the business.
