Current through December 21, 2024
(a) The commissioner may suspend a course
certification if:
(i) The course teaching
method or program content no longer meets the standards of this regulation, or
has been significantly changed without notice to the commissioner for
re-approval; or
(ii) The
instructor, coordinator, or sponsor had certified to the commissioner that a
licensee had completed the program in accordance with course standards when in
fact the licensee had not done so;
(iii) Licensees who have satisfactorily
completed the program in accordance with course standards were not certified by
the sponsor, coordinator, or instructor (unless the certificate of completion
was refused pursuant to Section
9(b)(i));
(iv) The instructor or sponsor is not
qualified as defined by the standards of this regulation, has had an insurance
license revoked, or lacks necessary education or experience in the subject
matter of the course; or
(v) There
is other good and just cause why certification should be suspended. The
commissioner reserves the right to audit courses without the sponsor's
approval. The commissioner may at any time after notice and opportunity for
hearing withdraw approval of any course. Licensees who attended a course before
the commissioner withdraws approval will be granted credit for hours in actual
attendance.
(b) The
commissioner will reinstate a suspended certification when the sponsor provides
proof satisfactory to the commissioner that the conditions responsible for the
suspension have been corrected.
(c)
The commissioner may institute an administrative or other action against a
sponsor upon finding any one or more of the following:
(i) Advertising that a course is certified
before the sponsor obtains certification. Included within the meaning of
"certified" are such notations as "____hours CECs," "will be worth ____hours"
or "approved for credit in Wyoming";
(ii) Submitting a course outline with
material inaccuracies, including out-of-date information or topic
content;
(iii) Presenting
non-approved material during a certified course;
(iv) Failing to present a course for the full
time specified in the request form submitted to the Department.
(d) Upon finding that a sponsor
has violated this regulation, the commissioner may enter an Order barring
certification of a sponsor's courses, either for a set period of time or
indefinitely. The commissioner may also impose any penalty provided by W.S.
§
26-1-107.
