OHIO INSURANCE AGENTS WITH BACK TAXES RISK LOSING THEIR LICENSES

According to the Ohio Revised Code, the Director of the Department of Insurance
may suspend, revoke or refuse to issue an insurance license, assess a civil
penalty, or impose other sanctions, if an agent or agency fails to comply with
any official invoice, notice or assessment, or order directing payment of
federal, state or local income tax, state or local sales tax, or workers'
compensation premiums.

Ohio recently passed a new licensing law requiring insurance agents to renew
their licenses every two years. During the next 18 months, the Department will
review renewal applications to make sure agents are in compliance. If an agent
has an outstanding judgment lien filed against them or their organization, the
Department will take administrative action against the agent's license.
