Changes in Compiled Statutes
The Illinois Department of Insurance (IDOI) wants to inform all providers of changes in the Illinois Compiled Statutes for continuing education (CE) and pre-licensing compliance.
Effective January 01, 2010, the key changes are:
- All resident producers who will renew on or after January 01, 2010 will be required to complete 24 hours of CE; three (3) of the 24 hours must consist of classroom ethics. (Provider Listing of Who Can Help You Fulfill This Requirement)
- Pre-licensing hours go from 15 hours for each class of insurance to 20 hours with 7.5 of the 20 hours must be completed in a classroom setting; except for Motor Vehicle will increase from 7.5 hours to 12.5 hours and 5 hours to be in a classroom setting.
- Pre-licensing will be required to be completed prior to taking the exam. Candidates will be required to show proof of pre-licensing completion at the test centers before they will be allowed to sit for the exam.
To assist IDOI in implementing the new requirements, any course submitted for ethics credit shall only contain topics related to ethics and cannot be combined with other course material.
When Submitting new courses for ethics credit; please circle “yes” in the lower right corner of the request for course approval document to indicate the submission is for ethics.
