Correct answer: D. At least 75 days

Correct. 806 KAR 20:010 requires an insurer to provide notice of nonrenewal at least 75 days before the end of the policy period.

• A: 14 days is far too short; that period applies to certain cancellation scenarios, not the nonrenewal notice period.
• B: 30 days understates the nonrenewal notice period Kentucky regulation requires.
• C: 45 days is also short of the actual regulatory minimum.

Correct answer: A. 14 days

Correct. 806 KAR 20:010 requires at least 14 days' notice for cancellation due to nonpayment of premium or when cancellation occurs within the first 60 days of a new policy.

• B: 30 days is longer than the notice period actually required for this scenario.
• C: 60 days does not describe a notice period here; it is the threshold that determines which notice rule applies.
• D: 75 days applies to cancellation of policies in force more than 60 days for reasons other than nonpayment, not to this early-policy scenario.

Correct answer: A. An insurance producer license issued by the Kentucky Department of Insurance

Correct. KRS 304.9-020 prohibits acting as, or holding oneself out as, an insurance producer in Kentucky without a license issued by the Department of Insurance.

• B: A real estate salesperson license is issued by a different licensing board and has no bearing on insurance producer licensure.
• C: A notary commission is unrelated to insurance producer licensing requirements.
• D: The method of communication used to sell insurance, such as by phone, does not exempt the activity from Kentucky's licensing requirement.

Correct answer: A. A line of authority focused on individual and family auto and homeowners insurance products

Correct. Kentucky's personal lines authority, available under KRS 304.9-030, is oriented toward personal auto, homeowners, and related individual and family insurance products.

• B: Surplus lines brokerage is a separate licensing category, not the personal lines authority.
• C: Marine cargo insurance is a commercial ocean marine product, not part of the personal lines authority.
• D: Commercial general liability falls under the broader property and casualty line, not the personal lines authority, which focuses on individual and family coverage.

Correct answer: A. 20 hours

Correct. 806 KAR 9:025 sets a minimum of 20 hours of pre-licensing study for each individual line of authority, which applies to the personal lines authority.

• B: 40 hours is the minimum required for a full major line such as property and casualty or life and health, not for the narrower personal lines authority.
• C: 60 hours substantially overstates the pre-licensing requirement for the personal lines authority.
• D: 10 hours understates the minimum pre-licensing requirement for this line of authority.
