HB 724 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Insurance agents; require one-time submission of affidavit attesting to age and experience requirements for continuing education exemption.

HB 724 requires Mississippi insurance agents aged 65 or older with 25 or more continuous years of licensing to submit a one-time sworn statement verifying their qualifications for exemption from continuing education requirements. Once submitted, these agents will not need to resubmit the statement for future license renewals if they maintain uninterrupted licensing. The bill mandates the Insurance Commissioner to maintain a database of all agents who have submitted qualifying statements. This change simplifies renewal processes for qualifying senior agents while maintaining oversight of exemptions.
