The Vermont Property license

The examination is not in Vermont's producer licensing subchapter at all. It is 8 V.S.A. 4800(3)(D)(i), in the general licensing requirements: the Commissioner shall subject each applicant for a producer, surplus lines broker, consultant, limited lines producer, adjuster, public adjuster or appraiser license to a written examination, except as provided in 4813i. 4813f(a) is then the closed list of what the Commissioner must find before approving a producer application: at least 18 years old, no ground for denial under 4804, competent, trustworthy, financially responsible and of good personal and business reputation, the fees under 4800 paid, and the examinations passed. No course is in it. Two clocks worth knowing: an application has to reach the Commissioner within 24 months of the examination, and claiming Vermont residency is an election under 4800(3)(A), so the license is void if the holder also holds or applies for a license anywhere else or stops living here.
