3. Change of address. A nonresident producer who moves from one state to another state or a resident producer who moves from this State to another state shall file a change of address and provide certification from the new resident state within 30 days of the change of legal residence. A fee or license application is not required.
[PL 2001, c. 259, §24 (NEW).]
4. Surplus lines; license in home state. Notwithstanding any other provision of this subchapter, a person licensed as a surplus lines producer in that person's home state must be issued a nonresident surplus lines producer license pursuant to subsection 1. Except as provided in subsection 1, nothing in this section otherwise amends or supersedes any other provision of chapter 19.
[PL 2001, c. 259, §24 (NEW).]
5. Limited lines; license in home state. Notwithstanding any other provision of this subchapter, a person licensed as a limited line credit insurance or other type of limited lines producer in that person's home state must be issued a nonresident limited lines producer license, pursuant to subsection 1, granting the same scope of authority as granted under the license issued by the producer's home state.
