OSI Bulletin Regarding NM Title CE Requirements:
February 19, 2020 To All Title Insurance Licensees, There has been some additional confusion surrounding the requirements for continuing education (“CE”) requirements under Rule 13.4.7.9 NMAC. Due to the current problems in the online renewal process, there are issues with how the CE credits are applied. We are monitoring the NAIC/SBS efforts to fix the issue in the online renewal program, and we believe it will be resolved soon. As you all know, under Rule 13.4.7.9(A)(1) NMAC, all insurance producers, regardless of the line of insurance they are selling, are required to complete a minimum of three hours of ethics credits during each compliance period. The Rule then goes on to list the specific CE requirements for specific types of producers. Under Rule 13.4.7.9(A)(2) NMAC, title insurance producers are required to complete ten CE credits covering title insurance per compliance period. At least three of those ten credits must specifically address the proper handling of escrow funds. The Rule also provides that the three escrow fund CE credits can be used to satisfy the requirement of three ethics CE credits. CE CREDIT ALLOCATION EXAMPLES:
The current online renewal system does not allow for these scenarios. NAIC/SBS is upgrading the system to allow for proper allocation of completed CE credit hours. Accordingly, until the system is fixed, please send in a paper renewal to our office and we will process it within 48 hours of receipt, if possible, and certainly within ten days. Please mail the paper renewal to: Producer Licensing Bureau 1120 Paseo De Peralta, Room 331 Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501 The fee for renewals for the month of December 2019, January 2020 and February 2020 will be $60.00, we have waived the late fee for those months at this time. Please make checks payable to OSI. Click here for the paper renewal form Thank you for your patience while we address this issue. Sincerely, Victoria A.
