Georgia Department of Insurance Announces Second Quarter Administrative Actions

Staff Report From Georgia CEO

Tuesday, July 16th, 2019

In the second calendar quarter of 2019, the Georgia Department of Insurance has taken administrative action against 39 licensees for grounds set forth in the Georgia Insurance Code (O.C.G.A. § 33-1-1 et seq.). These actions include two revocations, seven license suspensions, one consent order, and the placement of twenty-nine licensees on probationary status.

“The Department’s job in regulating agents and agencies does not end once they are issued licenses. On the contrary—that is when the real work begins,” said Insurance Commissioner John F. King. “Agents and agencies that fail to conduct themselves with the level of integrity worthy of the public will have the privilege of licensure restricted or removed from them.”

The actions taken by the Department are as follows:
