§ 26-9-220 — Insurance consultants

(a) No person shall be held out to the public as an
insurance consultant for hire unless a license as such has been
issued in accordance with this section.
(b) An application for a license to act as an insurance
consultant for hire shall be made to the commissioner on forms
he prescribes. The commissioner shall require that the
applicant, within one (1) year prior to submitting the
application for the license, have taken and passed a written
examination in a form prescribed by the commissioner. The
commissioner may waive written examination of a nonresident
applicant if the applicant is licensed as a consultant in his
home state, is in good standing in his home state and his home
state grants this state's resident consultants a similar
privilege. The commissioner may conduct investigations
concerning the applicant's qualifications, residence, business
affiliations and any other matter he deems necessary to
determine compliance with this chapter or for the public's
protection. The applicant shall provide the commissioner
fingerprints and other information and permission necessary for
a criminal history record background check as provided in W.S.
7-19-201(a). The cost of the criminal history record background
check shall be paid by the applicant.
(c) The commissioner shall collect an application fee, a
fee for the license, if issued, and a renewal fee, as provided
in W.S. 26-4-101. No license is valid for longer than twenty-
four (24) months. A license may be renewed in the same manner as
an insurance producer's license.
(d) All provisions of this chapter apply to licensees
under this section to the extent that they are not in conflict
with this section.
(e) This section does not apply to licensed attorneys.
(f) An insurance producer who is also licensed as a
consultant under this section shall not act in the dual capacity
of an insurance producer and a consultant in the same insurance
transaction.
