Summary of Senate Bill S 6122

Overview

S 6122 would permit certain insurance professionals to carry forward a portion of their continuing education (CE) credits. Specifically, licensed insurance agents, brokers, adjusters, consultants, and intermediaries could carry over up to five hours of CE credit per biennial licensing period. The bill aims to provide additional flexibility in meeting licensure CE requirements.

Purpose and Intent

  • Improve flexibility for licensees by allowing a limited carryover of CE credits from one biennial period to the next.
  • Align continuing education compliance with practical scheduling realities, potentially reducing inadvertent licensure issues due to timing gaps in CE completion.

Key Provisions (as reflected in S 6122A, the amended version)

  • Eligible professionals: Individuals who hold licenses as insurance agents, brokers, adjusters, consultants, and intermediaries.
  • Carryover allowance: Up to five hours of CE credit may be carried over to the next biennial licensing period.
  • Scope: Applies to CE requirements necessary to maintain licensure in the insurance field.
  • Version status: The bill’s amendments were incorporated into S 6122A (amended on third reading) and reflected in the current legislative track.
  • Relationship to companion: A companion measure exists in the Assembly as A 6652.

Affected Parties

  • Primary: Licensed insurance professionals (agents, brokers, adjusters, consultants, intermediaries) who must complete continuing education to renew or maintain licensure.
  • Secondary: Continuing education providers and sponsor organizations that administer CE courses, given potential changes in demand and scheduling.

Procedural and Timeline Aspects

  • Introduction: March 5, 2025
  • Committee/Referral: Referred to the Senate Insurance Committee on March 5, 2025
  • Progression: Advanced to third reading on May 7, 2025; 1st and 2nd committee reports recorded May 5–6, 2025
  • Amendments: Amendments adopted on third reading (S 6122A) on June 4, 2025
  • Status: COMMITTED TO RULES as of June 13, 2025
  • Companion: A 6652 (Assembly) — noted as a companion bill

Potential Impact

  • Licensure: Licensees could better manage CE timing, reducing risk of losing credits at the end of a biennium.
  • Administration: May require updates to licensure renewal systems to track carryover credits and ensure compliance with the five-hour limit.
  • CE Providers: Possible shifts in course demand or scheduling to align with carryover allowances.

Bottom Line

S 6122 seeks a targeted, limited modification to CE law for insurance professionals by allowing up to five hours of CE credit to be carried over to the next biennial period. It has an active legislative path, with the amended version (6122A) reflecting changes, and is currently in the Rules committee stage.
