Notice is hereby given in accordance with G.S. 150B-21.1(a3) that the Department of Insurance intends to amend the rules cited as 11 NCAC 6A .0808 and .0811 and repeal the rules cited as 11 NCAC 6A .0701-.0705.
Codifier of Rules received for publication the following notice and proposed temporary rule(s) on March 2, 2026. Proposed Temp Rules 11 NCAC 06A
Public Hearing will be held on March 13, 2026 at 10:00am at the NC Department of Insurance, 3200 Beechleaf Ct., Hearing Room 211, Raleigh, NC 27604
Reason for Proposed Temporary Action: The effective date of a recent act of the General Assembly, S.L 2025-45, Part 1, effective October 1, 2025. The proposed amendments and repeals are necessary to make the Department’s current rules for prelicensing education and continuing education align with S.L. 2025-45, Part 1 which amended GS 58-33-30 and 58-33-32 to eliminate prelicensing education requirements for insurance producer applicants to be eligible for licensure in North Carolina. Accordingly, the rules governing prelicensing education are proposed for repeal. Conforming amendments to the continuing education rules are also proposed as necessary due to the revised statutes.
The public comment period is available from March 13, 2026 to April 6, 2026. During this time, the agency will accept written comments on the proposed temporary rule prior to adoption. Written comments from the public will be accepted by mail or email at the following:

Notice of Text
Notice is hereby given in accordance with G.S. 150B-21.2 that the Department of Insurance intends to adopt the rules cited as 11 NCAC 24 .0101-.0108.
Proposed Effective Date: August 1, 2025
Public Hearing:
Date: April 1, 2025
Time: 10:00 a.m.
Location: NC Department of Insurance, 3200 Beechleaf Ct., Raleigh, NC 27604
Reason for Proposed Action: S.L. 2021-161 enacted statutes for the licensure of pharmacy benefits managers (PBMs) and directed the Department to adopt rules for licensure (see G.S. 58-56A-2). Entities to be licensed as PBMs have previously been licensed or registered as third-party administrators (TPAs). Borrowing from the licensure requirements for TPAs, the proposed rules further set out the requirements for licensure as a PBM. Additionally, where G.S. 58-56A-2 give the Commissioner the authority to charge an initial application fee of $2,000 and a renewal application fee of $1,500, those fees will be established by the proposed rule 11 NCAC 24 .0102.

Notice is hereby given in accordance with G.S. 150B-21.2 that the Department of Insurance intends to amend the rules cited as 11 NCAC 12 .0332.
Proposed Effective Date: July 1, 2025
Public Hearing:
Date: March 11, 2025
Time: 10:00 a.m.
Location: NC Department of Insurance, 3200 Beechleaf Ct., Raleigh, NC 27604
Reason for Proposed Action: The reason the change is needed is because of recently enacted legislation, SL 2023-133. Section 8 of this bill amends G.S. 58-56-26 so that the audit required by the statute does not have to be on-site and this would make conforming amendments to 11 NCAC 12 .0332.
