A. Agents of societies shall be licensed in accordance with the provisions of Article 14A of the Insurance Code regulating the licensing, revocation, suspension or termination of licenses of resident and nonresident agents; provided, no examination shall be required of any such agent licensed prior to the effective date of this act.
B. No examination or license shall be required of any regular salaried officer, employee or member of a licensed society who devotes substantially all of his or her services to activities other than the solicitation of fraternal insurance contracts from the public, and who receives for the solicitation of such contracts no commission or other compensation directly dependent upon the amount of business obtained.
C. Any agent or representative of a society who devotes, or intends to devote, less than fifty percent (50%) of his or her time to solicitation and procurement of insurance contracts for the society shall be exempt from the requirements of subsection A of this section. Provided, however, any person who in the immediately preceding calendar year solicited and procured life insurance contracts on behalf of any society in an amount of insurance in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), or, in the case of any other kinds of insurance which the society writes, on the persons of more than twenty-five individuals, and who received or will receive a commission or other compensation therefor, is presumed to be devoting or intending to devote fifty percent (50%) of his or her time to the solicitation or procurement of insurance contracts for the society.
