The New Hampshire Personal Lines Property and Casualty license

RSA 402-J:5, I asks a resident individual applying for a producer license to pass a written examination unless exempt under 402-J:9, and 402-J:6, I is the list of what the commissioner must find before approving the application. Read it in the statute rather than in a summary, because the gap is the point: "(a) Is at least 18 years of age. (b) Has not committed any act that is a ground for denial, suspension, or revocation set forth in RSA 402-J:12. (c) [Repealed.] (d) Has paid the fees set forth in RSA 400-A:29. (e) Has successfully passed the examinations for the line or lines of authority for which the person has applied."Paragraph (c) was the education requirement and it was repealed with effect from July 11, 2008. New Hampshire's zero is a dated repeal with the empty slot still sitting in the list, which is North Dakota's shape too. A lapsed license can be reinstated without a new examination for 24 months under 402-J:7, III, twice the usual twelve.
