What is such a Tennessee-chartered insurer called?

A domestic insurer

A foreign insurer

An alien insurer

An admitted reinsurer

Question 42: Tennessee's claims rule sets a deadline for actually paying a claim once the insurer has accepted responsibility for it. The clock for tendering payment starts when the insurer affirms liability, not when the claim was first reported. When must the insurer tender payment?

Within ten days of the loss

Within sixty days of the claim notice

Within fifteen days of proofs

Within thirty days of affirming liability

Question 43: A producer licensed and residing in another state applies for a Tennessee nonresident producer license.

What condition earns the examination exemption?

Paying a higher application fee

Completing extra ethics training

Holding a like license in another state

Posting a surety bond first

Question 44: During a routine review, the Commissioner discovers that a producer supplied materially untrue and misleading answers on the original license application.

Providing untrue information on the application

Paying an appointment fee late

Writing coverage in another state

Earning too many continuing education hours

Question 45: A Tennessee producer wants to place coverage with a nonadmitted insurer for a risk that admitted carriers will not write.

A public adjuster license

A title agency license

A separate surplus lines license

Defamation of an insurer

Twisting a policy

Unfair discrimination

Question 47: A Tennessee licensee ignores a cease-and-desist order and continues the prohibited practice for several weeks.

As a single violation regardless of duration

As two violations maximum

Each day counts as a separate violation

Only the first day counts

Question 48: A Tennessee applicant pays the application and filing fees but does not immediately complete every step of licensure. State procedure attaches a shelf life to those paid fees, after which they expire if the application is not finished. How long do the paid fees remain good?
