Article 22 - (2201 - 2209) CERTIFICATION OF EMPLOYEES OF INSURERS AND SAVINGS BANKS OFFERING LIFE INSURANCE
2202 - Prerequisites.

 
    §  2202.  Prerequisites.  (a)  Certification  shall not be made by the
  superintendent unless there shall be on file in his office the following
  documents:
    (1) a written application by the person to be certified in  such  form
  and containing such information the superintendent prescribes; and
    (2)  a  statement executed by an officer of the insurer or the savings
  bank which is to be named in such certificate, that the insurer or  bank
  is  satisfied  that  the  applicant  is  trustworthy  and  competent  to
  negotiate for applications or  orders  for  life  insurance  or  annuity
  contracts  and  to solicit and procure from the public such applications
  or orders.
    (b) (1) In order to  determine  trustworthiness  and  competency,  the
  applicant  shall  be  required to pass a personal written examination to
  the satisfaction of the superintendent. Such examination shall  be  held
  at  times  and places set by the superintendent. Every individual taking
  any such  examination  shall  pay  to  the  superintendent,  or  at  the
  superintendent's  discretion, directly to any organization that is under
  contract to provide examination  services,  an  examination  fee  of  an
  amount  which is the actual documented administrative cost of conducting
  said qualifying examination as certified by the superintendent from time
  to time. An examination fee represents an administrative expense and  is
  not refundable.
    (2) No individual shall be qualified to take the examination unless he
  possesses   the   same   qualifications   regarding   insurance   course
  requirements as those required pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph
  two of subsection (f) of section two thousand one hundred three of  this
  chapter for agent licensing pursuant to such section.
    (3) The superintendent may accept, in lieu of the examination required
  by  paragraph one hereof, the result of any previous written examination
  given by him which in his judgment is equivalent to the examination  for
  which it is substituted.
    (c)  The  superintendent  may  refuse to certify any person if, in his
  judgment, such person is not trustworthy and competent, or has failed to
  comply with any prerequisite for the issuance of such certificate.
    (d) The superintendent may issue a  replacement  for  a  currently  in
  force  certificate  which  has  been  lost  or  destroyed.  Before  such
  replacement certificate shall be issued, there shall be on file  in  the
  office  of the superintendent a written application for such replacement
  certificate, affirming  under  penalty  of  perjury  that  the  original
  certificate  has  been lost or destroyed, together with a fee of fifteen
  dollars.
