Spanish Language Insurance Licensing Exams

May 3, 2019

I thank and commend Commissioner Mais for his initiative and willingness to implement the Spanish language exams without the need for legislation. This measure will open doors for those seeking to acquire their licenses and will increase services to a segment of the population that can benefit from Spanish speaking agents.

House Bill 6091, I introduced this session, called for the Insurance Commissioner to offer English and Spanish language versions of insurance producer licensing exams examinations administered to certain applicants for licenses. In working with legislators, Commissioner Mais found that it would be quicker to implement this important goal administratively.
