Good point. I agree. However, is that still true. Does your state still have a broker's license or just "Producer" How can you apply differing rules for agents and brokers when the state doesn't even use the term. Does each state have written description of when an individual is a broker or agent. If you hold a brokers license are you always a broker? If yes can I have a copy of that. If not can I have a copy of when I'm an agent and when I'm a Broker, other then broker represents the insured which is on the old agents exam.

Politically motivated insurance commissioner will hammer us. Even if we loose in the courts will be no worse off and can only do better.

A big part of what Spitzer said and I'm not a fan, was your industry is a mess you need to fix and clarify. It the main reason why he didn't go to criminal court. The state laws are a MESS, unclear, undefined. The agent/broker community needs to have the states define agent and broker. Of course the states look stupid since the change to producer is new and really confused the works. I could go on but I hope you get my point.
