In provisions concerning insurance producer licenses, provide that before each license renewal, an insurance producer must satisfactorily complete at least 24 hours of course study or participation in a professional insurance association (instead of 24 hours of course study) in accordance with rules prescribed by the Director. Provides that credit for participation in a professional insurance association shall be provided on an hour-for-hour basis.
