The Independent Insurance Agents of Iowa oppose HSB 150. We represent thousands of agents throughout the State of Iowa who are licensed and in good standing to sell insurance products to the citizens of Iowa. Our agents are required to take continuing education classes annually in order to keep current on Iowa laws and regulations as they relate to the sale of insurance products. This is required in order to protect the citizens of Iowa as they put their trust into their local agent as to their necessary coverages and protections. We believe this bill undermines the requirements of the laws of insurance sales and solicitations. Thank you for your time today.Tom O'MearaCEOIndependent Insurance Agents of Iowa
