Effective January 1, 2011, the amendment to RSA 402B:5-a was implemented. NH began accepting the “designated home state” for adjusters that live in states without a resident license. This change will eliminate continuing education requirements for non-resident adjusters. Only NH resident adjusters or those that select NH as their “designated home state” will be required to complete NH approved continuing education for future renewals. “402-B:5-a Continuing Education. Every 2 years, at least 60 days prior to the renewal date of their license, persons holding an adjusters license shall be certified by the insurance department as having completed 20 hours of continuing education instruction. Licensees with workers’ compensation authority shall comply with the approved 10 credit hours of workers’ compensation and 10 credit hours of multiline requirement pursuant to RSA 281-A:63. Those licensees without workers’ compensation authority may satisfy their 20 credit hour requirement exclusively with multi-line approved credits or any combination of approved workers’ compensation or multi-line courses. Such continuing education instruction shall be approved by the insurance department. If a nonresident licensee has complied with the continuing education requirements of his or her state of residence or designated home state, he or she will not be required to comply with the requirements of this state.”
