(2) Definitions. For purposes of this rule chapter, the following definitions shall apply.

(a) “Application form,” refers to the currently approved Department form for applying for a license.

(b) “Complete application,” refers to an application form which the applicant timely files with the Department, upon which the applicant has furnished all correct information to be placed thereon, including any required additional or accompanying documentation, as required by the application or by any statute or rule of the Department. An application which contains errors, omissions, or which requires additional or clarifying information is not considered a complete application and shall be referred to in this rule as an “incomplete application.”

(c) “Deficiency notice,” refers to notice by the Department to an applicant that the applicant’s application is incomplete and which informs the applicant of what is required to make the application a complete application.

(d) To “file,” in reference to an applicant filing an application or information supplied in response to a deficiency notice with the Department, shall mean receipt, as defined in this subsection, by the Department of a complete application or other required documentation.

(e) “License” shall have the meaning set forth in section 120.52(10), F.S., which includes registrations.

(f) “Licensing” shall have the meaning set forth in section 120.52(11), F.S.

(g) “Receipt,” means that a document has been received by the Department at its offices in Tallahassee and has been date stamped by Department personnel.

(3) Within thirty days of receipt of an initial application, the Department shall review each application to determine if it is a complete or an incomplete application.

(4) If the Department determines that the application is complete, the application shall be approved or denied within ninety days of receipt of the application, subject to subsection (10) of this rule.

(5) If the Department determines that the initial application is incomplete, it shall send a deficiency notice to the applicant within thirty days of receipt of the initial application.

(6) The applicant will have within sixty days from the date of the deficiency notice either:

(a) To furnish the requested information or in the alternative;

(b) To show cause in writing why such information cannot be supplied.

(7) If the information requested in the deficiency notice is not timely filed, or if the applicant does not show why he/she cannot supply the information requested, the application shall be considered an incomplete application and the Department’s file with regard to that application will be closed. An incomplete application as defined in this rule is not an “application” as that term is used in section 120.60, F.S., and the Department is not required to approve or deny an incomplete application. Any applicant whose application file has been closed by the Department pursuant to this subsection must file an original and complete application, with fees as specified in section 624.501, F.S., if the applicant wishes to apply again to the Department.

(8) If the applicant timely files some but not all of the requested information in response to the Department’s deficiency notice, the timely filed information shall be included in the application file but no additional deficiency notice shall be sent by the Department. Such application shall nonetheless be considered an incomplete application and the Department’s file with regard to that application will be closed. Any applicant whose application file has been closed by the Department pursuant to this subsection must file an original and complete application, with fees as specified in section 624.501, F.S., if the applicant wishes to apply again to the Department.

(9) If the applicant files a timely response indicating that the information or corrections requested in the deficiency notice cannot be supplied, the Department shall approve or deny the application based on the information currently contained in the application file and so notify the applicant of its decision within ninety days from the applicant’s last timely filing in response to the Department’s deficiency notice.

(10) If all requested information is timely filed, the application shall be approved or denied within ninety days of receipt of the information which makes the application complete.

(4) Term of appointments.

(a) In the case of natural persons, new appointments or appointments being continued, which are effectuated in a licensee’s birth month, shall expire 24 months later on the last day of the licensee’s birth month and shall be subject to renewal at that time by the entity for which they are appointed pursuant to the filing deadlines prescribed in subsections (6) and (7), below, and every 24 months thereafter unless suspended, revoked, or otherwise terminated at an earlier date.

(b) In the case of entities other than natural persons, new appointments or appointments being continued, which are effectuated in the same month a licensee was first licensed as an insurance representative, shall expire 24 months later on the last day of the licensee’s license issue month and shall be subject to renewal at that time by the entity for which they are appointed pursuant to the filing deadlines prescribed in subsections (6) and (7), below, and every 24 months thereafter unless suspended, revoked, or otherwise terminated at an earlier date.

(c) Appointments effectuated during any month other than the licensee’s birth month in the case of natural persons, or during the license issue month in the case of entities other than natural persons, shall be valid for not less than 24 months and no longer than 36 months, which are the minimum and maximum number of months necessary to convert the original issue month to the licensee’s birth month or license issue month, whichever the case may be, and expiring the last day of the licensee’s birth month or license issue month, whichever is applicable, and shall be subject to renewal at that time by the entity for which the licensee is appointed pursuant to the filing deadlines prescribed in subsections (6) and (7), below, and every 24 months thereafter unless suspended, revoked, or otherwise terminated at an earlier date.

(5) Renewal Fees.

(a) All appointment renewal fees and taxes as prescribed in section 624.501, F.S., shall be submitted via the Department’s online appointment system at and paid by electronic payment prior to any appointments being renewed. However, appointments for bail bond agents shall be submitted on a form prescribed by rule 69B-221.115, F.A.C., and paid via a paper check. All checks shall be made payable to the “Florida Department of Financial Services.”

(b) Failure by an appointing entity to submit and pay the renewal invoice with the required renewal fees by the prescribed renewal date deadlines set forth by statute and in this rule will require the payment of an additional $20 delinquency fee and a $5 continuation fee by the appointing entity for each person listed on the renewal notice. The appointing entity shall have 45 days from the last day of the renewal period to renew a licensee’s appointment late and pursuant to payment of the normal appointment fee, the deliquency fee and the continuation fee. Otherwise the licensee’s appointment will be cancelled.

(6) Filing dates.

The appointing entity shall have from the first day of the renewal month to the last day of the renewal month to submit and pay for the renewal invoice without being assessed the delinquency fee and continuation fee. For example, on March 1, appointing entities may be notified they have until March 31 to submit and pay for renewal invoices without being assessed the delinquency fee and continuation fee.

(c) If an appointing entity fails to renew an appointment during the renewal month, the Department shall send an electronic notification to the appointing entity to the email address on record with the Department on the first day of the month following an appointment expiration date informing the appointing entity it has 45 days to renew the appointment. If a renewal invoice is paid during this 45-day period, the appointing entity shall pay, in addition to the normal appointment fee, a delinquency fee and a continuation fee per appointment. For example, on April 1, appointing entities who failed to submit and pay for their March renewal invoice shall be notified by the Department that they have 45 days to renew appointments with a March 31 expiration date by paying a delinquency fee and a continuation fee per appointment.

(d) If an appointing entity fails to renew an appointment during the renewal month or in the 45-day late renewal period immediately following the renewal month, the Department shall send an electronic notification to the appointing entity to the email address on record with the Department on the first day after the 45-day late renewal period informing the appointing entity that the appointment was not renewed and has been cancelled. The licensee whose appointment was cancelled shall also receive such electronic notification at the email adddress on record with the Department. If the appointing entity desires to re-appoint the licensee, the appointing entity must submit a new appointment via the Department’s online appointment system. New appointments shall be dated effective when services are first provided by the appointee to the appointing entity or the first day after cancellation of a prior appointment if services have been continuously provided by the appointee. If the new appointment’s requested effective date is more than 45 days earlier than the date it is submitted to the Department, the appointing entity will be assessed a $250 original appointment delinquency fee per appointment. For example, on May 16, appointing entities who failed to submit and pay their March renewal invoice during the month of March or during the 45-day late renewal period ending May 15, shall be sent an electronic notification by the Department informing them they must submit new appointments if they desire to appoint their licensees whose appointments expired March 31.

(e) During the periods described in paragraphs (6)(a), (b) and (c), above, an appointing entity may elect to not renew an appointment. During the same periods, in order to renew a licensee’s appointment the licensee’s email, home, business and mailing addresses must be valid in the Department’s records.

For purposes of this rule part, the following definitions shall apply:

(1) “Application” or “Application Process” refers to an application for licensure procedurally processed under chapter 626, F.S. An Application is not deemed completed until so designated by the Department. The application remains open and the application process continues from the time the application is submitted online until the time the Department issues the license or issues a notice of denial of the application. Failure to comply with Department requests for information related to the application will result in the termination of the application process. If the application process is terminated for failure to timely provide the Department with requested documentation, the applicant must submit a new application.

(2) “Charge” or “charges” refers to the official allegations contained in the official document setting out the crimes that an applicant is alleged to have committed, including an “Information,” “Indictment,” or other document that specifies the charges against an applicant.

(3) “Felony” means and includes any crime of any type, whether or not related to insurance, which crime is designated as a “felony” by statute in the jurisdiction of prosecution, or designated as a “felony” in the charges, or which crime is punishable under the law of the prosecuting jurisdiction by imprisonment of more than one year regardless of how classified in the charges or statutes. If a crime is a felony in the jurisdiction of prosecution, it shall be treated as a felony under this rule notwithstanding that the same activity is not a felony in Florida. If a crime is considered a misdemeanor in the jurisdiction of prosecution, it shall be treated as a misdemeanor under this rule notwithstanding that the same activity is a felony in Florida. The term “felony” includes felonies of all degrees.

(4) “Law Enforcement Record” for purposes of this rule, includes the following:

(a) Any criminal charge filed against the applicant in the courts of any state or federal district or territory, or other country, for which the applicant pled guilty or no contest, regardless of whether or not there was an adjudication of guilt by the court, or for which the applicant was found guilty, and regardless of whether the matter is under appeal by the applicant; and,

(b) Criminal charges that were subsequently pardoned or for which civil rights have been restored. The phrase does not include criminal charges which, at the time of the application, are under an order to seal or expunge by a court of competent jurisdiction; and,

(c) All criminal charges against the applicant, whether by information or other charging document even where no formal determination of disposition has been made;

(5) “Misdemeanor” means and includes any crime of any type which is designated as a “misdemeanor” by statute in the jurisdiction of prosecution, or is so designated in the charges, or is punishable under the law of the prosecuting jurisdiction by imprisonment of one year or less.

69B-211.042 Effect of Law Enforcement Records on Applications for Licensure.

(1) Law Enforcement Records and Required Documentation. The Department uses law enforcement records to determine whether an applicant is subject to the permanent bar or disqualifying periods set forth in section 626.207 or 626.9954, F.S., or otherwise qualifies for licensure under the Florida Insurance Code, including determining whether an applicant is fit and trustworthy pursuant to section 626.611(1)(g), F.S., or has the requisite character pursuant to section 626.9953(3)(g), F.S.

(a) As provided by statute and upon the Department’s request, an applicant for licensure is required to disclose the applicant’s law enforcement record. During the application process, which process continues up to the time of the issuance of a license or the denial of the application, the applicant is required to accurately and truthfully answer questions about the applicant’s law enforcement record. The applicant is responsible for the accuracy of all information contained in any application submitted by the applicant or submitted by another person on the applicant’s behalf, including documents or information submitted during the application process related to the law enforcement record.

(b) As provided by statute, an applicant must provide the Department with fingerprints and permit the Department to obtain the applicant’s law enforcement record from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and/or the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Department shall not process an application when fingerprints are required until the Department receives readable and properly executed fingerprints. Applications are incomplete until fingerprints are received.

(c) At the direction of the Department, as a part of the application process, and in addition to the application, the following documentation is required to be submitted by the applicant:

1. A copy of the police arrest affidavit or arrest report or similar document for all arrests.

2. A certified true copy of the charging document, such as an information, indictment, or ticket.

3. A certified true copy of the plea, judgment, and sentence.

4. A certified true copy of the order of entry into pre-trial intervention, where applicable, and the order of termination of pre-trial intervention showing dismissal of the charges.

(d) If during the application process the Department requests that an applicant submit documentation related to the applicant’s law enforcement record but that documentation cannot be obtained because the document no longer exists, the applicant shall supply a certified or sworn statement, signed by a representative of the agency that would have been the custodian of such documentation, indicating that documentation of such matter does not exist or that the record was lost, damaged or destroyed, or otherwise indicating why the documentation cannot be produced. All requested documentation must be legible.

(e) The requirements set forth in paragraphs (1)(a) through (d), above, continue throughout the application process and apply to all types of applications including initial applications, applications for additional licenses and applications for reinstatement of a previously suspended license.

(2) Effect of Failure to Truthfully Answer Application Questions Regarding Applicant’s Law Enforcement Record.

(a) The existence of an applicant’s law enforcement record is considered a material element of the application and the application process and the failure to accurately and truthfully answer application questions or Department requests regarding the law enforcement record is considered a material misrepresentation or material misstatement under section 626.611(1)(b) or 626.9957(4)(e), F.S.

(b)1. If an applicant fails to accurately and truthfully answer Department questions about the applicant’s law enforcement record the application shall be denied and a disqualifying period of one year shall be imposed before the applicant may reapply for or be granted any license. As an alternative to a one-year disqualifying period, the applicant may elect to pay an administrative penalty of $1,500.00. This includes answering any application question about the existence of law enforcement records in the negative when an affirmative answer was appropriate. This one-year disqualifying period shall begin the later of: (1) the date of the initial application or (2) the end of any disqualifying period based on the criminal history of the applicant. The mitigating factors in subsection (7), below, shall not be used to reduce the amount of the disqualifying period for failure to disclose.

2. If the Department discovers that an applicant failed to accurately and truthfully answer any question relating to law enforcement records after a license has been granted, the Department shall suspend or revoke each license currently held by the licensee pursuant to sections 626.611 and 626.9953, F.S.

(3) Classification of and Treatment of Certain Felony and Misdemeanor Crimes.

(a) Application for licensure shall not be denied or subjected to a disqualifying period based solely on the fact that an applicant was found guilty of, or pled guilty or nolo contendere to, a misdemeanor, unless the misdemeanor is directly related to the financial services business as defined in section 626.207(1), F.S., which shall also apply to the same term used in section 626.9954(3)(c), F.S.

(b) A crime is directly related to the financial services business as defined in section 626.207(1), F.S., if a financial services business, a financial services business relationship, a financial services business resource, or a transaction relating to or involving a financial services business, was used in the furtherance of the crime.

(c) For the purposes of this rule, the seven year disqualifying period in sections 626.207(3)(b) and 626.9954(3)(b), F.S., applies to all felony cases involving the passing or uttering of a worthless bank check, or obtaining property in return for a worthless bank check or any other check-related felony where the check or property involved is worth $500.00 or less.

(4) Applicants With Multiple Crimes.

(a) Where an applicant has more than one crime subject to a disqualifying period, an additional disqualifying period for each of those additional crimes shall be added to the disqualifying period. For each additional crime that is subject to a disqualifying period the Department shall add:

1. Five years to the disqualifying period for each additional felony involving moral turpitude but not subject to the permanent bar in section 626.207(2) or 626.9954(2), F.S.;

2. Two years to the disqualifying period for each additional felony not involving moral turpitude and not subject to the permanent bar in section 626.207(2) or 626.9954(2), F.S.; and,

3. Two years to the disqualifying period for each additional misdemeanor directly related to a financial services business.

(b) The additional disqualifying period shall be added to the disqualifying period for the most serious crime, and the combined total disqualifying period will then run from the date of the applicant’s final release from supervision for the most recent crime that would be subject to a disqualifying period under section 626.207(3) or 626.9954(3), F.S.

(c) Multiple crimes arising out of the same act, or related acts, performed over a relatively short period of time and in a concerted course of conduct, and crimes committed in one transaction, episode, or course of conduct are treated by the Department as one crime for application of this rule. The most serious crime will be used as the basis for the disqualifying period. For the crimes to be considered a single crime, the applicant must have pled to or been convicted of such crimes on the same date and the judgment and sentence for those crimes must have been imposed concurrently.

(5) Mitigating Factors.

(a) If applicable, the mitigating factors listed below may be used to shorten the total disqualifying period only when the fifteen year disqualifying period established in section 626.207(3)(a), F.S. is applicable. Where more than one mitigating factor is present the applicant is entitled to add all applicable years of mitigation together and deduct that number from the total disqualifying period only when the fifteen year disqualifying period is applicable; however, the fifteen year disqualifying period may not be reduced to less than seven years. Mitigating factors cannot be used to reduce the seven year disqualifying periods established by sections 626.207(3)(b) or (c) or 626.9954(3)(b) and (c), F.S. Mitigating factors may not be used to reduce the amount of the disqualifying period for failure to answer questions accurately and truthfully established in subparagraph (2)(b)1. The following Mitigating factors may apply:

1. One year is deducted if the applicant was age twenty-one or younger when the felony crime was committed and if there are no felony crimes on the applicant’s law enforcement record after reaching the age of twenty-two.

2. One year is deducted if the applicant furnishes proof that the applicant was addicted to drugs, suffering from active alcoholism, or suffering from a psychiatric disorder, at the time of the crime and the applicant furnishes a letter from a medical doctor, psychologist, or therapist, who is licensed by a duly constituted state licensing body, that states that the licensed person has examined or treated the applicant and that in his or her professional opinion the condition is currently in remission and has been in remission for at least the previous 12 months.

3. One year is deducted if the applicant provides letters of recommendation from three or more persons who are not relatives of the applicant and who have known the applicant for at least the five years immediately preceding the application.

4. One year is deducted for each associate degree, bachelor’s degree, master’s degree or other higher education degree earned by an applicant from an accredited institution of higher learning subsequent to the commission of the crime which is the basis for the disqualifying period.

5. One year is deducted if the applicant has performed 180 or more hours of volunteer work for a charitable organization within the three years immediately preceding the application, as evidenced by a letter signed by an official of the charitable organization where the volunteer hours were performed.

6. One year is deducted if the applicant has held one or more professional licenses from any jurisdiction or professional licensing organization for at least one year within the five years immediately preceding application and subsequent to the commission of the crime which is the basis for the disqualifying period, and only if the applicant held the license during that time period without administrative action being taken.

7. One year is deducted if the applicant has been employed at least 40 hours per week for a continuous two year period within the five years immediately preceding the application.

8. One year is deducted if the applicant has served at least one year in the United States Armed Forces, active or reserves, subsequent to the commission of the crime which is the basis for the disqualifying period and provided any discharge was without an other than honorable discharge designation.

(b) The burden is on the applicant to establish these mitigating factors. Any of the mitigating factors above that involve a state or governmental agency, a university or school, or a court must be established by providing a certified true copy of the document proving that mitigating factor.

(6) Aggravating Factors.

(a) The following aggravating factors apply:

1. Two years are added to the disqualifying period if the applicant’s law enforcement record indicates that a crime that is the basis of the disqualifying period victimized a natural person who was over age 65 at the time the crime was committed;

2. One year is added to the disqualifying period if the applicant was found by the court to have violated probation for the crime or crimes used to establish the disqualifying period and the violation was not a technical violation;

3. One year is added to the disqualifying period if the applicant was found to have committed a crime involving aggravated violence in which bodily injury resulted;

4. One year is added to the disqualifying period if any regulatory action was taken against the applicant by any regulatory authority that resulted in a penalty being imposed and was not based on failure to change an address or failure to report an administrative action;

5. One year is added to the disqualifying period and in addition to subsection (4), above, if any regulatory action was taken against the applicant by any regulatory authority for an action by the applicant that caused consumers or clients financial harm or loss in an amount over $10,000.00;

6. One year is added to the disqualifying period if the applicant’s law enforcement record contains a crime that caused financial harm to any person in an amount over $10,000.00.

(b) The burden is on the applicant to rebut evidence of any and all aggravating factors used by the Department to deny the application.

(7) Collateral Attack on Criminal Proceedings. The Department will not allow or give any weight to an attempt to re-litigate, impeach, or collaterally attack judicial criminal proceedings or their results.

(8) Effect of Pending Appeal in Criminal Proceedings; Reversal on Appeal.

(a) The statutory grounds for denial of licensure exist immediately upon an entry of judgment, regardless of whether an appeal is or is not allowed to be or is being taken.

(b) If on appeal the judgment is reversed, and the judgment was the basis for the Department’s denial of an application, then the applicant may reapply for licensure after providing proof of the reversal.

(9) Pre-Trial Intervention. The Department will not grant licensure to any person who at the time of the application is participating in a pre-trial intervention program for any crime that could be used as the basis of denial pursuant to section 626.207, F.S.

(10) Effect of an Order Sealing or Expunging Criminal Records.

(a) An applicant is not required to disclose or acknowledge, and is permitted to affirmatively deny, any arrest or criminal proceeding when the record of such has been legally and properly expunged or sealed by order of a court of competent jurisdiction or by operation of law in the jurisdiction in which the arrest or criminal proceeding took place prior to the time of application.

(b) The denial or failure to disclose such arrest or criminal proceeding is not grounds for adverse action by the Department, even if the information had been previously revealed to the Department in another or previous application.

(c) The Department will not withhold or stay the issuance of a denial of a license application pending action on requests for sealing or expunging criminal records.

(11) Disclosure and Effect of a Pardon.

(a) Pardoned crimes must be reported on the application as part of the law enforcement record. The applicant shall clearly indicate that a pardon has been granted for the crime, and provide supporting documentation. The burden of proof shall be on the applicant to prove the pardon by certified true copy of the pardon and related documents.

(b) A pardoned crime generally will not be considered against the applicant by the Department.

(c) However, this general policy is subject to the following exceptions, in which case the pardoned crime will not be ignored by the Department:

1. The applicant has subsequently been found guilty, or pled guilty or nolo contendere, to any felony or misdemeanor regardless of adjudication; or

2. The pardoned crime directly involved the business of insurance.

(d) If a pardoned crime falls within either of the two exceptions contained in subparagraph (11)(c)1. or 2., above, the Department shall apply the disqualifying periods set out in sections 626.207 and 626.9954(3), F.S.

(e) The Department will not withhold or stay denial of a license application pending action on requests for a pardon.

(12) Effect of Varying Terminology.

(a) For purposes of this rule, if the jurisdiction in which the applicant was prosecuted does not define or categorize felony crimes as they are defined or categorized in Florida as capital, first degree, second degree, or third degree felonies, the Department shall analogize the crime to the most similar crime under Florida laws by using the elements of that crime as defined in the statute of the jurisdiction in which the applicant was prosecuted and matching those elements to the most similar Florida Statute.

(b) With regard to the following six subparagraphs, the Department treats each phrase in a particular subparagraph as having the same effect as the other phrases in that same subparagraph:

1. Adjudicated guilty; convicted.

2. Found guilty; entered a finding of guilt.

3. Pled guilty; entered a plea of guilty; admitted guilt; admitted the charges.

4. Nolo contendere; no contest; did not contest; did not deny; no denial.

5. Adjudication of guilt withheld; adjudication withheld; no adjudication entered; entry of findings withheld; no official record to be entered; judgment withheld; judgment not entered.

6. Nolle prosse; nolle prosequi; charges withdrawn; charges dismissed; charges dropped.

(c) When necessary, the Department will look to the substantive meaning of the terminology used in the context in which it was used under the law of the jurisdiction where it was used.

(13) Imprisoned Persons. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this rule, the Department shall not license any applicant under chapter 626, F.S., while the applicant is imprisoned, in custody, under supervision, or serving a sentence, for any crime.

(14) Effect of Disqualifying Periods. The disqualifying periods applied pursuant to sections 626.207 and 626.9954(3), F.S., or established in this rule do not give an applicant a right to licensure after any set period of time. After the disqualifying period, an applicant may re-apply for licensure and the law in effect at the time will apply to that application.

(15) Foreign Law Enforcement Records. In the event that a law enforcement record includes convictions, charges, or arrests outside the United States, the Department shall consider the following factors to reduce, eliminate, or apply a disqualifying period or to determine if the permanent bar under sections 626.207(2) and 626.9954(2), F.S., is applicable:

(a) Whether the crime in the criminal record would be a crime under the laws of the United States or any state within the United States; and,

(b) The degree of penalty associated with the same or similar crimes in the United States.
