California:
On January 1, 2009 changes to both the independent and public insurance adjuster licensing laws will take effect. Many of the changes resulted in allowing California’s independent adjuster and public adjuster licensing laws to be uniform with other states. The California Insurance Code was amended to establish a CE requirement of 24 hours during the two-year license term for California resident public insurance adjusters and independent insurance adjusters. Courses will be available in January 2009. Both Independent and Public Insurance Adjuster licenses expire every two years on May 31st of even years (e.g. 2010). Individuals who receive their independent or public insurance adjuster license during the second year of the fixed two-year license term will be required to complete only 12 hours of CE. Once the license is renewed, those individuals will then be required to complete the required 24 hours of continuing education.
