(b) The commissioner may verify the producer's licensing status through the producer database maintained by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, its affiliates or subsidiaries. (c) A nonresident producer who moves to this state from 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 not later than thirty days after the change of legal residence. No licensing fee or application shall be required from a producer moving to this state pursuant to this section. (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of sections 38a-702a to 38a-702r , inclusive, a person licensed as a surplus lines broker in the person's home state shall receive a nonresident surplus lines broker license pursuant to subsection (a) of this section. Except as provided in subsection (a) of this section, nothing in this section otherwise amends or supersedes any provision of sections 38a-740 to 38a-745 , inclusive. (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of sections 38a-702a to 38a-702r , inclusive, a person licensed as a limited line credit insurance producer or other type of limited lines producer in the producer's home state shall receive a nonresident limited lines producer license, pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, granting the same scope of authority as granted under the license issued by the producer's home state. For the purpose of this section, limited line insurance is any authority granted by the home state which restricts the authority of the license to less than the total authority prescribed in the associated major lines pursuant to subdivisions (1) to (6), inclusive, of subsection (a) of section 38a-702f .
