Important Notice to All Agents
Soliciting or Selling Annuities in Alabama
Alabama recently adopted the model suitability regulation which mandates training elements for agents. Alabama annuity producers must complete 4 hours of General Annuity Training CE credits (provided by a state-approved training vendor) in addition to the EquiTrust product-training requirement already in effect.
Consult the chart below for the effective date of the training requirement. Two Effective Dates appear for your state. The Effective Date that applies to you is subject to the date on which you became insurance licensed in Alabama. If you were licensed BEFORE the Effective Date ("Currently Licensed"), you have an extended period before the training must be completed.
