I. No person, for himself or in behalf of any person, shall sell or offer to sell any such health service as is provided for in this chapter without being licensed therefor by the commissioner pursuant to RSA 402-J.
II. Upon written notice by a health service corporation licensed to do business in this state of its appointment of a person to act as its agent under this chapter, the commissioner shall, if the commissioner is first satisfied that the appointee is a suitable person and intends to hold himself out in good faith as an agent, upon payment of the proper fee by the applicant, issue to the appointee a license to act as such agent.
III. A license previously issued may be renewed upon the application of the health service corporation upon payment of the proper fee.
IV. The commissioner may at any time after granting such license, for cause shown and after notice and hearing, determine such licensee to be unsuitable to act as such agent, and shall thereupon revoke such license and notify both the health service corporation and the agent of such revocation.
V. Unless revoked by the commissioner, or unless the health service corporation by written notice to the commissioner cancels the agent's authority to act for it, such license issued to an agent, or any renewal of such license, shall expire on June 14 of the second year after its issue.
VI. If a person acts or aids in any manner in the negotiation of health insurance contracts, or solicits or receives any risk or application for such service, without a license from the insurance commissioner, or if the license granted to such person or to the health service corporation for which the person acts as agent has been revoked, such person shall be guilty of a class A misdemeanor if a natural person, or guilty of a felony if any other person; but any contract issued on an application thus procured shall bind the health service corporation if otherwise valid. This paragraph shall not apply to any office employee of the health service corporation, or to any persons rendering their services without compensation.
