The Hawaii Personal license

HRS 431:9A-105(a) asks an applicant for a producer license to pass a written examination unless exempt under 431:9A-109, and 431:9A-106(a) is the closed list of what the commissioner must find before approving the application: at least 18 years old, no act that is a ground for a licensure sanction under 431:9A-112, the fees at 431:7-101 paid, the applicable examination passed within the two years immediately preceding the issuance of the license, and a full set of fingerprints for state and national criminal history checks. No course is in it. That two-year window is the most generous on this site, and it is the only one written against the issue date rather than the application date: Iowa allows 90 days, Idaho 180, Delaware and Arizona a year.
