Training materials used by the organization to train endorsees shall be submitted to the department at the time the organization applies for its credit insurance agent license, and each year thereafter when that license is renewed. Any changes to previously submitted training materials shall be submitted to the department with the changes highlighted 30 days prior to their use by the licensee. Training materials and changes to those materials submitted to the department pursuant to this subdivision shall be deemed approved for use by the company unless it is notified by the department to the contrary. Failure by a credit insurance licensee to submit training materials or changes for departmental review or use of unapproved or disapproved training materials shall constitute grounds for denial of an application for a license, nonrenewal of a license, or suspension of a license, as appropriate.(c) The credit insurance agent shall periodically retrain its endorsees.Added by Stats 2000 ch 321 (AB 393), s 7, eff. 1/1/2001, op. 1/1/2002.
