RE:        Producer Appointment Termination for Cause Notifications
­­­­­­­­­­­

The Maryland Insurance Administration (“the Administration") issues this bulletin to inform all insurers conducting business in Maryland how to submit notifications to the Administration when a producer's appointment is terminated “for cause."

Section 10-118(e)(1)(ii) of the Insurance Article, Annotated Code of Maryland (2017 Repl. Vol.), requires an insurer or an authorized representative of an insurer to notify the Commissioner of the termination of a producer's appointment with the insurer when the termination, in whole or in part, is a result of the belief that the producer has engaged or is engaging in any of the activities set forth in §10-126 of the Insurance Article.

 Insurers may use one of the following two methods to make the required notification to the Commissioner: 

1. Complete the online form located at: https://marylandinsurance.my.site.com/regulations/s/enforcement-intake?language=en_US . This link allows the insurer to submit the notification and any supporting documents directly to the Maryland Insurance Administration's case management system; or
2. The notification and all supporting documents can be emailed to [email protected].
