SECTION 1: ARKANSAS INSURANCE LAWS AND
REGULATIONS
Q1: According to Arkansas Code Title 23, what is the required free look period for an individual
life insurance policy sold to a 67-year-old applicant?
A. 10 days from the date of policy delivery
B. 20 days from the date of policy delivery
C. 30 days from the date of policy delivery
D. 31 days from the date of policy delivery
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Arkansas Code § 23-79-136 mandates a "free look" period. While the standard period
is often 10 or 20 days depending on the policy type, Arkansas law specifically requires a 30-day
free look period for life insurance policies issued to individuals age 65 or older. This provides
enhanced consumer protection for senior citizens. Option A is the standard minimum for some
policies but insufficient for seniors. Option B is incorrect for seniors. Option D is incorrect as
Arkansas statutes specify 30 days, not 31. [CORRECT]
Q2: Which of the following statements regarding the continuation of a deceased or disabled
producer's license is correct under Arkansas law?
A. The license terminates immediately upon the death or disability of the producer.
B. The producer's estate may continue the business for up to 180 days to facilitate sale or closure.
C. A surviving spouse or administrator may continue the insurance business for up to 1 year
without a license.
D. The license is transferable to a family member who submits a formal transfer request within
30 days.

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Under Arkansas Insurance Code § 23-61-308, if a producer dies or becomes disabled,
the producer's surviving spouse, administrator, or executor may continue the insurance business
for up to 180 days without obtaining a new license, provided they notify the Insurance
Commissioner. This allows for the orderly disposition of the business. Option A is incorrect;
there is a grace period. Option C is incorrect; the limit is 180 days (roughly 6 months), not 1
year. Option D is incorrect; licenses are not transferable; this is a temporary continuation
privilege. [CORRECT]
Q3: An Arkansas producer completes their continuing education (CE) requirements but fails to
pay their license renewal fee by the expiration date. Which of the following best describes the
status of the producer's license?
A. The license remains active for a 30-day grace period to allow payment.
B. The license terminates immediately, and the producer must cease all insurance transactions.
C. The license converts to a "temporary inactive" status for 90 days.
D. The license remains valid for transaction of business, but penalties accrue on the unpaid fee.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In Arkansas, licenses expire on the last day of the licensee's birth month in the
renewal year. Failure to complete CE and pay the renewal fee prior to the expiration date results
in license termination. There is no automatic grace period that allows the transaction of insurance
business after the expiration date. The producer must cease all insurance activities immediately
and apply for reinstatement (within 12 months) or reapply for a new license. [CORRECT]
Q4: Under the Arkansas Insurance Code, what is the maximum penalty for a producer who
engages in a fraudulent insurance act?
A. A fine not exceeding $1,000 per violation
B. A fine not exceeding $5,000 per violation and/or up to 6 months imprisonment
C. A fine not exceeding $10,000 per violation and/or up to 3 years imprisonment
D. Revocation of license only, as criminal penalties are handled solely by federal law
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Arkansas Code § 23-61-107 outlines penalties for fraudulent acts. A producer found
guilty of a fraudulent insurance act is subject to a fine of not more than $10,000 per violation
,3
and/or imprisonment for up to 3 years. Additionally, the license will be revoked. This severe
penalty underscores the state's commitment to insurance integrity. Options A and B are below the
statutory maximums. Option D is incorrect as Arkansas imposes both administrative and criminal
penalties. [CORRECT]
Q5: Under the Arkansas Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association Act, what is the
maximum benefit amount the Association will pay for a life insurance death benefit?
A. $100,000
B. $300,000
C. $500,000
D. $1,000,000
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Arkansas Code § 23-90-101 et seq. establishes the Life and Health Insurance
Guaranty Association. The Act limits the Association's liability for a life insurance death benefit
to $300,000. For net cash surrender values, the limit is $100,000. This ensures a safety net for
policyholders while limiting the financial exposure of the solvent insurers funding the
association. Option A is the limit for cash surrender. Option C and D exceed the Arkansas
statutory limit. [CORRECT]
Q6: Which of the following is NOT a valid reason for the Arkansas Insurance Commissioner to
deny, suspend, or revoke a producer's license?
A. The applicant has been convicted of a felony involving dishonesty or breach of trust.
B. The applicant has failed to pay state income taxes.
C. The applicant is currently licensed as a resident producer in another state.
D. The applicant provided incorrect or misleading information on the license application.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Arkansas Code § 23-61-108 lists causes for denial, suspension, or revocation. These
include felony convictions (Option A), failure to pay taxes (Option B), and providing false
information (Option D). However, being a resident producer in another state is grounds for non-
resident licensure in Arkansas (via reciprocity), but a resident of Arkansas cannot hold a resident
license in another state simultaneously without establishing domicile. Wait—if the question
implies an Arkansas applicant who is a resident of another state, they should apply as a non-
, 4
resident. If the question implies an Arkansas resident holding a license in another state, that is
permissible, but they must be an Arkansas resident for an Arkansas resident license. The phrasing
"currently licensed as a resident producer in another state" suggests the person is a resident of
that other state. Therefore, they would apply as a non-resident in Arkansas, not a resident. This
would be a processing issue, not necessarily a denial of qualification if applying correctly.
However, if the applicant is an AR resident trying to get a license, they cannot hold a resident
license elsewhere. Let's look at the statutory language: The Commissioner may deny if the
applicant "has been a resident producer in another state..." implies they must be an AR resident.
Correction: The correct interpretation is that residency in another state makes one eligible for a
non-resident license, not a denial of licensure entirely. Thus, being licensed elsewhere is not a
disqualifying factor for qualification; it just dictates the license type. [CORRECT]
Q7: An Arkansas producer changes their legal name. How many days does the producer have to
notify the Insurance Commissioner of this change?
A. 10 days
B. 30 days
C. 60 days
D. 90 days
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Arkansas Insurance Code § 23-61-307 requires a producer to notify the Commissioner
of any change in name or address within 30 days of the change. Failure to do so can result in
administrative penalties or license suspension. [CORRECT]
Q8: In the context of insurance solicitation in Arkansas, the term "twisting" specifically involves:
A. Reducing premiums to undercut competitors.
B. Making misleading statements to induce a policyholder to drop an existing policy for a new
one.
C. Selling insurance without a valid license.
D. Collecting premiums and failing to remit them to the insurer.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: "Twisting" is defined under Arkansas Unfair Trade Practices Act (§ 23-66-301 et
seq.). It is a specific type of misrepresentation where a producer induces a policyowner to lapse,
