1. Unless the Commissioner refuses to issue the license under NRS 683A.451, the Commissioner shall issue a license as a producer of insurance to a person who has satisfied the requirements of NRS 683A.241 and 683A.251. A producer of insurance may qualify for a license in one or more of the lines of authority permitted by statute or regulation, including:
(a) Life insurance on human lives, which includes benefits from endowments and annuities and may include additional benefits from death by accident and benefits for dismemberment by accident and for disability income.
(b) Accident and health insurance for sickness, bodily injury or accidental death, which may include benefits for disability income.
(c) Property insurance for direct or consequential loss or damage to property of every kind.
(d) Casualty insurance against legal liability, including liability for death, injury or disability and damage to real or personal property. For the purposes of a producer of insurance, this line of insurance includes surety indemnifying financial institutions or providing bonds for fidelity, performance of contracts or financial guaranty.
(e) Variable annuities and variable life insurance, including coverage reflecting the results of a separate investment account.
(f) Credit insurance, including credit life, credit accident and health, credit property, credit involuntary unemployment, guaranteed asset protection, and any other form of insurance offered in connection with an extension of credit that is limited to wholly or partially extinguishing the obligation which the Commissioner determines should be considered as limited-line credit insurance.
(g) Personal lines, consisting of automobile and motorcycle insurance and residential property insurance, including coverage for flood, of personal watercraft and of excess liability, written over one or more underlying policies of automobile or residential property insurance.
(h) Travel insurance, as defined in NRS 683A.197, as a limited line.
(i) Rental car as a limited line.
(j) Portable electronics as a limited line.
(k) Crop as a limited line.
(l) Personal property storage insurance, as defined in NRS 683A.1828, as a limited line.
2. A license as a producer of insurance remains in effect unless revoked, suspended or otherwise terminated if, on or before the renewal date for the license:
(a) A request for a renewal is submitted;
(b) All applicable fees for renewal are paid for each license; and
(c) Any requirement for education or any other requirement to renew the license is satisfied.
3. A producer of insurance may submit a request for a renewal of his or her license within 30 days after the renewal date if the producer of insurance otherwise complies with the provisions of subsection 2 and pays, in addition to any fee paid pursuant to subsection 2, a penalty of 50 percent of all applicable fees for renewal, except for any fee required pursuant to NRS 680C.110.
4. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 7, a license as a producer of insurance expires if the Commissioner does not receive from the producer of insurance a request for renewal of the license pursuant to subsection 2 or 3, as applicable, on or before the date which is 30 days after the renewal date.
5. A fee paid pursuant to subsection 2, 3 or 6 is nonrefundable.
6. A natural person who allows his or her license as a producer of insurance to expire pursuant to subsection 4 may, within 12 months after the renewal date, reinstate the license without passing a written examination if the natural person:
(a) Completes all applicable continuing education requirements; and
(b) Pays a penalty of twice all applicable fees for renewal, except for any fee required pursuant to NRS 680C.110.
7. A licensed producer of insurance who is unable to renew his or her license because of military service, extended medical disability or other extenuating circumstance may request a waiver of the time limit and of any fine or sanction otherwise required or imposed because of the failure to renew.
8. A license must state the licensee’s name, address, personal identification number, the date of issuance, the lines of authority and the date of expiration and must contain any other information the Commissioner considers necessary. The license must be made available for public inspection upon request.
9. A licensee shall inform the Commissioner of each change of business, residence or electronic mail address, in writing or by other means acceptable to the Commissioner, within 30 days after the change. If a licensee changes his or her business, residence or electronic mail address without giving written notice and the Commissioner is unable to locate the licensee after diligent effort, the Commissioner may revoke the license without a hearing. The mailing of a letter by certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the licensee at his or her last mailing address appearing on the records of the Division, and the return of the letter undelivered, constitutes a diligent effort by the Commissioner.
10. As used in this section, "renewal date" means:
(a) For the first renewal of the license, the last day of the month which is 3 years after the month in which the Commissioner originally issued the license.
(b) For each renewal after the first renewal of the license, the last day of the month which is 3 years after the month in which the license was last due to be renewed.
