Prelicensing Education Insurance Requirements for Insurance Agents
SUBJECT:
The South Carolina Department of Insurance through Bulletins No. 4-86 of 1986 and 9-
90 of 1990 notified all insurers of the passage of legislation requiring prelicensing
education for insurance agents and the revision of prelicensing education course
requirements, respectively. The purpose of this Bulletin is merely to provide all licensed
insurers and Prelicensing Insurance Education Sponsors with updated revisions to
prelicensing education course topic outlines for Life, Accident and Health, and Property
and Casualty lines of insurance. All other information contained in Bulletin No. 4-86, as
it pertains to prelicensing education requirements in South Carolina remains unchanged.
Further, this Bulletin replaces Bulletin 9-90. For reference purposes, Act Number 518 of
1986 was codified under South Carolina Code Ann. ยง 38-43-105 and South Carolina
Code Ann. Regulation 69-23.
In addition, currently approved prelicensing education course material must be revised to
include the information as outlined in Exhibits 1 and 2 attached to this Bulletin. Revised
course material and a completed course topic outline must be submitted to this
Department for approval no later than 5:00 P.M. December 15, 2000.
Your help is needed to ensure timely processing of the attached revised outlines

South Carolina Department of Insurance course approval number could result in

Questions regarding implementation of the revised prelicensing education course topic
outlines, as well as revised course material should be addressed to the Licensing and
Education Coordinator at the above address. The telephone number is (803) 737-6223.
