March NAIFA GovPod Explains Federal Proposal to Create Agent Licensing Clearinghouse

Listen to NAIFA expert outside counsel Scott Sinder and John Fielding with the firm Steptoe & Johnson discuss draft federal legislation to create a new producer licensure clearinghouse called the National Association of Registered Agents and Brokers. Dubbed “NARAB II,” the proposal is set to be introduced in Congress this spring and would allow NAIFA members who operate in multiple states to apply for membership and be subject to a single set of licensing and continuing education requirements.
