The Arkansas Insurance Department said it would help insurance agents and companies affected by Hurricane Katrina by automatically renewing licenses and assisting in other ways.
State Insurance Commissioner Julie Benafield Bowman said that to help producers, consultants and businesses located in areas devastated by Katrina, the department would provide duplicate licenses, waive fees for certification requests, license renewals, and provide penalty relief for late license renewals.
Due to mail delivery problems and the dislocation of residents, the department said it would automatically renew licenses for current, active individuals and businesses in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama whose Zip codes fall into the most heavily damaged areas.
