(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.
