Division of Insurance Agents and Agency Services
RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
69B-235.003 Sale of Certificates of Deposit
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: Section 624.308(1), F.S.,
authorizes the Department of Financial Services to adopt rules
to implement law that confers duties upon the Department. The
reason that necessitates the proposed action is that modification
is to d elete the illegal standard to determine the Depar tment’s
duties relate d to refusal, suspension, or revocation of agent’s
license in conjunction with the sale of Certificates of Deposit if
an age nt has been a source of loss to the public, pursuant to
Section 626.621(6), F.S. The words “detrimental to public
interest” as used in Section 626.621, F.S., were found to be
unconstitutionally vague in Whitaker v. Department of
Insurance and Treasurer, 680 So.2d 528 (Fla. 1st DCA 1996).
The proposed amendments will update the rule to remove the
illegal standard.
SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: Standards and
