(a) The commissioner may suspend a course certification if: - (i) The course teaching method or program content no longer meets the standards of this regulation, or has been significantly changed without notice to the commissioner for re-approval; or
- (ii) The instructor, coordinator, or sponsor had certified to the commissioner that a licensee had completed the program in accordance with course standards when in fact the licensee had not done so;
- (iii) Licensees who have satisfactorily completed the program in accordance with course standards were not certified by the sponsor, coordinator, or instructor (unless the certificate of completion was withheld pursuant to Section 10(b)(i) );
- (iv) The instructor or sponsor is not qualified as defined by the standards of this regulation, has had an insurance license revoked, or lacks necessary education or experience in the subject matter of the course; or
- (v) There is other good and just cause why certification should be suspended. The commissioner reserves the right to audit courses without the sponsor's approval. The commissioner may at any time after notice and opportunity for hearing withdraw approval of any course. Licensees who attended a course before the commissioner withdraws approval will be granted credit for hours in actual attendance.
(b) The commissioner will reinstate a suspended certification when the sponsor provides proof satisfactory to the commissioner that the conditions responsible for the suspension have been corrected.
(c) The commissioner may institute an administrative or other action against a sponsor upon finding any one or more of the following: - (i) Advertising that a course is certified before the sponsor obtains certification. Included within the meaning of "certified" are such notations as "____ hours CECs," "will be worth ____ hours" or "approved for credit in Wyoming";
- (ii) Submitting a course outline with material inaccuracies, including out-of-date information or topic content;
- (iii) Presenting non-approved material during a certified course;
- (iv) Failing to present a course for the full time specified in the request form submitted to the Department.
(d) Upon finding that a sponsor has violated this regulation, the commissioner may enter an Order barring certification of a sponsor's courses, either for a set period of time or indefinitely. The commissioner may also impose any penalty provided by W.S. § 26-1-107.
