Lead Paint Surcharge

Producers who hold a property or casualty line of authority or who hold the personal lines of authority, who newly apply for one of these lines of authority or upon renewal of such lines of authority, are required to pay a lead paint surcharge in addition to the license fee. Effective July 1, 2002, the amended law requires the Division to apply a surcharge of $75.00 for each term period of the Producer license.

The funds generated from this surcharge are used by the Department of Public Health for the production and dissemination of educational materials pertaining to lead paint poisoning prevention and treatment issues and for the training of lead paint inspectors and homeowners

Reinstating Producer Requirements

Pursuant to M.G.L. Chapter 175, § 162M (c): An individual insurance producer who allows his license to lapse may, within 12 months from the due date of the renewal fee, reinstate the same license without the necessity of passing a written examination, but a penalty in the amount of double the unpaid renewal fee shall be required for any renewal fee received after the due date. The fee for a reinstating Producer is either $450.00 or $525.00 based upon the lines of authority; please read information on the lead paint surcharge. In addition, all active appointments held by the Producer, prior to the license lapsing are no longer active.
