On March 9, 2020, Governor Phil Murphy declared a state of emergency and public health

emergency through the issuance of Exec. Order No. 103 (March 9, 2020) 52 N.J.R. 549(a) (April

6, 2020) (“EO 103”), to contain the spread of the Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. Due to

the COVID-19 pandemic, all producer examination testing centers in New Jersey currently have

limited capacity. In order to assure the continuity of vital insurance services and to address the

disruption in insurance producer licensing caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of

Banking and Insurance (“Department”) issued Bulletin No. 20-21 on May 1, 2020, advising that

pursuant to N.J.S.A. 17:22A-37(a)(4)1 the Department had determined that it is in the public

interest to issue temporary producer licenses to those qualifying individuals who wish to become

New Jersey resident insurance producers. Bulletin No. 20-21 established the process to apply for,

and the criteria for the issuance of, a temporary resident producer license, which will only be issued

during the duration of the state of emergency and public health emergency declared pursuant to

EO 103. Bulletin No. 20-21 remains in full effect and is supplemented hereto to allow for the

electronic submission of applications for temporary insurance producer licenses through the

National Insurance Producer Registry (“NIPR”)

of, a temporary resident producer license, which will only be issued

during the duration of the state of emergency and public health emergency declared pursuant to

EO 103. Bulletin No. 20-21 remains in full effect and is supplemented hereto to allow for the

electronic submission of applications for temporary insurance producer licenses through the

National Insurance Producer Registry (“NIPR”).

Individual applicants seeking a temporary resident insurance producer license in this State

who meet the qualifications set forth in Bulletin No. 20-21, which is reproduced below, or an

insurance company who sponsors the applicant for temporary licensure (“sponsoring insurer”),

1 N.J.S.A. 17:22A-37(a)(4) provides that the Commissioner of the Department of Banking and

Insurance (“Commissioner”) may issue a temporary insurance producer license for a period not to

exceed 180 days without requiring an examination if the Commissioner determines that the

temporary license is necessary for the servicing of an insurance business in any circumstance in

which the Commissioner determines that the public interest will best be served by the issuance of

the temporary insurance producer license.

NOTICE OF RULE MODIFICATION

PURSUANT TO EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 103 (MURPHY)(MARCH 9, 2020)

COVID-19 STATE OF EMERGENCY

Temporary Rule Modification of N.J.A.C. 11:17-2.10(a) and N.J.A.C. 11:17-2.13(a) and (b)

adopted by Marlene Caride, Commissioner, Department of Banking and Insurance

Date: August 3, 2020

Authority: N.J.S.A. 17:22A-37; N.J.S.A. App.A:9-45 & App. A:9-47; Exec. Order No. 103

(March 9, 2020) 52 N.J.R. 549(a) (April 6, 2020) (“EO 103”)

Effective Date: August 3, 2020

Expiration Date: Concurrent with EO 103.

This is an emergency adoption of a temporary rule modification of the Department’s

Insurance rules at N.J.A.C. 11:17-2.10(a) and N.J.A.C. 11:17-2.13(a) and (b). Section 6 of EO

103, issued in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, authorizes agency heads to

waive/suspend/modify any existing rule, where the enforcement of the rule would be detrimental

to the public welfare during the emergency, notwithstanding the provisions of the Administrative

Procedure Act or any law to the contrary. Pursuant to that authority, and with the approval of the

Governor and in consultation with the State Director of Emergency Management and the

Commissioner of the Department of Health, the Department of Banking and Insurance is

modifying and/or suspending its rules as follows:

This Notice of Rule Modification supersedes the Notice of Rule Modification dated May

1, 2020 that accompanied the Department’s Bulletin No. 20-21, dated May 1, 2020.

Currently, the Department’s rules at N.J.A.C

e Director of Emergency Management and the

Commissioner of the Department of Health, the Department of Banking and Insurance is

modifying and/or suspending its rules as follows:

This Notice of Rule Modification supersedes the Notice of Rule Modification dated May

1, 2020 that accompanied the Department’s Bulletin No. 20-21, dated May 1, 2020.

Currently, the Department’s rules at N.J.A.C. 11:17-2.10(a) require that an agency

relationship between an insurer and producer be subject to specific requirements related to the

appointment of the producer to act on behalf of the insurer. Specifically, the rules require that the

8

insurer advise the Department of that relationship by filing a notice within 15 days after execution

of the contract or within 15 days after the first insurance application is submitted by the producer

through the use of the National Insurance Producer Registry (“NIPR”). The notification must

contain the company’s name and license reference number; the producer’s name and license

reference number; and the effective date of the contract. The rules additionally require that a fee

be paid for each appointment, as set forth in N.J.A.C. 11:17-2.13(a).

However, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 17:22A-37(a)(4) and through the issuance of Bulletin No.

20-21, the Commissioner had determined that it was necessary for servicing the insurance business

in this State and in the public interest to permit that temporary insurance producer licenses be

issued during the state of emergency and public health emergency as declared in EO 103 without

an examination. N.J.S.A. 17:22A-37(b) permits the Commissioner to require that the temporary

licensee have a suitable sponsor who is a licensed insurer and who assumes responsibility for all

acts of the temporary licensee (“sponsoring insurer”). As such, the Commissioner had determined

through the issuance of Bulletin No. 20-21 that an appointment is necessary to monitor activity of

temporary licensees. However, Bulletin No

7(b) permits the Commissioner to require that the temporary

licensee have a suitable sponsor who is a licensed insurer and who assumes responsibility for all

acts of the temporary licensee (“sponsoring insurer”). As such, the Commissioner had determined

through the issuance of Bulletin No. 20-21 that an appointment is necessary to monitor activity of

temporary licensees. However, Bulletin No. 20-21 and the accompanying Notice of Rule

Modification provided that because the appointment will be a temporary appointment, limited to

the expiration of the temporary insurance producer license, and because NIPR lacked the capability

to accept an application and appointments for temporary insurance producer licenses

electronically, appointments for such licenses should not be submitted through NIPR as required

by N.J.A.C. 11:17-2.10(a). Bulletin No. 20-21 and the accompanying Notice of Rule Modification

previously modified the rules at N.J.A.C. 11:17-2.10(a) for the duration of the state of emergency

pursuant to EO 103 to require that only the sponsoring insurer is permitted to submit paper

applications on behalf of applicants for a temporary insurance producer license. Bulletin No. 20-

21 and the accompanying Notice of Rule Modification additionally provided that the submission

of the paper application for temporary licensure by the sponsoring insurer will deem the applicant

actively appointed to represent the sponsoring insurer and informed the sponsoring insurer that it

should not submit appointments of temporary licensees on the NIPR as set forth in N.J.A.C. 11:17-

2.10(a). Lastly, Bulletin No. 20-21 and the accompanying Notice of Rule Modification provided

that the fee for appointments, as set forth in N.J.A.C. 11:17-2.13(a), will not be required for the

appointment of temporary licensees.

However, individual applicants seeking a temporary resident insurance producer license in

this State, who meet the qualifications set forth in Bulletin No

11:17-

2.10(a). Lastly, Bulletin No. 20-21 and the accompanying Notice of Rule Modification provided

that the fee for appointments, as set forth in N.J.A.C. 11:17-2.13(a), will not be required for the

appointment of temporary licensees.

However, individual applicants seeking a temporary resident insurance producer license in

this State, who meet the qualifications set forth in Bulletin No. 20-21, or a sponsoring insurer,

acting on behalf of an applicant, may electronically submit an application to obtain a temporary

resident insurance producer license through the NIPR at www.nipr.com. As such, N.J.A.C. 11:17-

2.10(a) will now, additionally be modified to inform applicants and sponsoring insurers that for

electronic applications for temporary insurance producer licenses, the applicant must submit the

name and contact information of their sponsoring insurer to inslic@dobi.nj.gov with the

applicant’s NIPR Transaction Number, rather than submit the temporary appointment through

NIPR. The Department will confirm the sponsoring relationship with the identified sponsoring

insurer prior to finalization of the application review. Additionally, N.J.A.C. 11:17-2.10(a) is

modified to differentiate the procedure for advising the Department of temporary appointments

pursuant to whether the application for the temporary insurance producer license is submitted

through a paper application, which is mailed to the Department, or through an electronic

application, which is processed through NIPR.

N.J.A.C. 11:17-2.13(a) and (b), which set forth the fees for licensure, are also modified to

provide that the $35 fee for appointments is waived for temporary appointments of temporary

insurance producer licensees and to set forth the application and filing fees for both the paper and

electronic version of the application for temporary insurance producer licenses for the duration of

the state of emergency and public health emergency declared pursuant to EO 103.
