In 1995, when CE was established in Michigan for producers, the 23-month rule was used to establish a review schedule for newly licensed producers with a line of authority requiring CE. With the amendment of Section 500.1204c, the 23-month rule is being eliminated.
The new CE review date will be based on the month and year of a producer’s birth. Licensees with dates of birth in odd years will have CE due the first day of their birth month every two years in all odd years. Licensees with dates of birth in even years will have CE due the first day of the birth month every two years in all even years.
Schedule for New Licensees
The commissioner shall review an insurance producer’s hours of study according to their month and date of birth within 12 months after issuance of the initial license. The first scheduled review date must permit a producer at least 12 months. If it does not, the hours shall be reviewed on the next scheduled review date.
Schedule for DOB CE Conversion
Producers and Solicitors with an even year date of birth will have CE due the first day of their birth month in 2010 and every two years thereafter.
Producers and Solicitors with an odd year date of birth will have CE due the first day of their birth month in 2011 and every two years thereafter.
Producers and Solicitors with CE due January through June 2010 will automatically be granted a one-time 90-day extension to complete the 24 credit hours. There is no need to submit a request to OFIR staff.
