INSURANCE CODE

SECTION 1716-1723

1716. The provisions of this article shall not apply to any
certificate of convenience other than a military service certificate
of convenience issued to a natural person.

1717. All licenses issued under this chapter shall be for the
license term specified in Section 1630. Such licenses may be issued
for all of such term, or, upon application made during any such term,
for the balance thereof. Such license term shall commence as
specified in Section 1630.

1717.5. Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, the
commissioner shall institute year-round licensing of production
agency licensees commencing with those license renewals taking place
in 1986.

1718. (a) Not less than 60 days before a permanent license will
expire, the commissioner may use an electronic delivery method,
including e-mail or other similar electronic method of delivery, to
deliver, or may mail, to the latest e-mail or mailing address
appearing on his or her records, an application to the licensee to
renew the license for the appropriate succeeding license term. It is
the licensee's responsibility to renew whether or not a renewal
notice is received. The commissioner may accept a late renewal,
provided the licensee's failure to comply is due to clerical error or
inadvertence on the part of the department.
(b) Application for renewal of a license may be filed on or before
the expiration date. When filed under this subdivision, the fee for
filing shall be as specified in Section 1750.
(c) The application for renewal of an expired license may be filed
after the expiration date and until that same month and day of the
next succeeding year. The fee for a renewal application under this
subdivision shall be the fee specified in subdivision (b) and a
delinquent fee in the amount specified for a one-year period in
Section 1750 for the filing. Each licensee shall be subject to
payment of delinquent fees under this section.

1719. The commissioner shall not issue any permanent license within
30 days prior to the expiration date on record for a previously
licensed entity unless the person shall have also filed an
application for renewal of the license for that license year or term
directly following the expiration date to which the application for
renewal relates and shall have paid the fee for filing specified in
Section 1750. As to the filing of the renewal application, the
provisions of Section 1718 shall not be applicable.

1720. (a) A licensee who has applied to renew a license under this
chapter shall be entitled to continue operating under the existing
license for 60 days after its specified expiration date, or until
notified by the department that the renewal application is deficient,
whichever comes first, if the applicant has satisfied all license
renewal requirements, including, but not limited to, the following:
(1) The submission of the applicable renewal application and fee
on or before the expiration date of the license.
(2) The satisfaction of all required continuing education or
training requirements.
(b) This section shall not apply to any license that is suspended
or revoked.

1722. If a natural person while licensed pursuant to the provisions
of this chapter or Chapters 6 (commencing with Section 1760), 7
(commencing with Section 1800), or 8 (commencing with Section 1831)
of this part, or Part 5 (commencing with Section 12140) of Division 2
enters the military service of the United States and is in such
service at a time prescribed for the filing of a renewal application,
the filing of such application is waived, and the license held by
such licensee at the time of his entry into military service shall
remain in force during the period of such military service and until
the end of the license year in which he is released from such service
but not for less than six months after such release. During such
period such person may secure a license of the type held by him on
his entry into military service upon the filing of an application and
paying the fee therefor without the necessity of taking any
examination or paying any penalty.

1723. (a) At the time any original or renewal license application
that is submitted to the commissioner shows a conviction of the
applicant of a felony involving dishonesty or breach of trust, or of
a violation of Section 1033 of Title 18 of the United States Code,
the commissioner shall either commence a proceeding pursuant to
Section 1668 or 1669, or Section 1738 in the case of a renewal
application, or give written consent to the applicant or licensee
pursuant to paragraph (2) of subsection (e) of Section 1033 of Title
18 of the United States Code.
(b) This section shall apply to all licenses and registrations
issued by the commissioner pursuant to this code, whether included in
this chapter or in any other chapter of this code, and without
regard to whether another chapter incorporates the requirements of
this section by reference.
