not required, nor shall they apply to any such limited or

that person. The certification shall be executed by or on behalf
of the sponsoring organization within a fifteen (15) day period
following the course, program or seminar. A nonresident adjuster
having met the continuing education requirements in his home
state is exempt from the provisions of this section. A
nonresident adjuster not licensed in his home state is subject
to the requirements of this section.
