2. Requirements. An insurer that offers a health plan in this State through the exchange or outside of the exchange shall pay a commission to a licensed insurance producer appointed by or contracted with the insurer for the enrollment of an individual or employee in a health plan during any annual or special enrollment period.

3. Commission on health plan enrollment initially completed during special enrollment period. An insurer may not eliminate, restrict or limit the payment of a commission to a licensed insurance producer appointed by or contracted with the insurer for the enrollment of an individual or employee in a health plan during any annual enrollment period on the basis that the producer was not paid a commission for the enrollment of the same individual or employee by the producer in a prior plan year during a special enrollment period.
