Since agents deal with accepting payment, quoting, and social security numbers, it is necessary to make sure that the individuals that are handling this sensitive information are people that are trustworthy. I do NOT believe the Federal Government should step in - I believe this should be regulated and monitored by the governing branches of insurance companies (i.e. Corporate office of Farmers, State Farm, etc.) Fingerprinting incoming insurance agents is just another way to protect the general public.

There is absolutely no reason why not, and every reason why it should be a requirement.

I don't care what insurance company you apply to it seems like they just want a bunch of bodies out there most offer no training, no salry, they try and rate everyone, then blame everything on the agent.

I think this is a great move...not only does it assure the agencies hiring these new producers that they have a clear criminal background, but it should also help the clients have more piece of mind toward the insurance industry. Afterall, confidence and trust are our key selling points! TN now requires fingerprinting before you are issued an insurance license.

States need to do their own police work, their own licencing & set their own rules. If the federal government were to attempt to do any of these 1. It would be unconstitutional 2. It would be sloppy 3. It would be a nightmare for those that had to work with it. Have you ever tried to get the federal government to do anything, then gotten caught up in their levels of bureaucracy. This is not to say that we can not make the states do a better job. However, at the state level each person makes more of a difference than at the federal level where our voice are too diluted or just too far away.
