At the discretion of the Commissioner, exceptions may be made in the event of extreme hardship.(5) If a nonactive agent will perform any of the functions specified in O.C.G.A. § 33-23-1(a)(3) other than the receipt of renewal or deferred commissions, said agent must obtain prior approval from the Commissioner by making proper application as required in Rule 120-2-3-.07.
