Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act

The federal Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act (the Act) requires Insurance Companies to verify the producers with whom they do business have not been convicted of a felony involving dishonesty or a breach of trust.

The Act prohibits an individual who has been convicted of any felony involving dishonesty or a breach of trust from willfully engaging in the business of insurance without the prior written consent of the Insurance Commissioner or Director with regulatory authority over such individual.
