CE INFORMATION CORRECTION Due to a change in SC Code of Laws, Limited Lines Surety licensees do not have to take CE courses anymore. Therefore, Bail Agents that have these licenses are not required to take the 24 hour P&C insurance continuing education courses. If you have a multi-line producers license you must continue the 24 hour CE courses. Bail Agents are still required to take the 6 hour CE courses every year. The record keeping fee payable to Prometric and the producers’ $25 renewal fee are due by May 1, 2010, not November 1, 2010 as reported before. Every licensed producer must pay both fees by May 1, 2010. The renewal fee is payable on the DOI website by electronic payment. Prometric must be paid directly. In addition, the 40 hour insurance pre-licensing course is not required, but you still have to take the 40 hour test to be a license surety bondsman in SC. Please call the SC DOI if you have any questions. (803) 737-6160 See the 2009 Bulletin below   Please read by clicking here: "2009 DOI Producer Bulletin"
