Section 1677(b) of the California Insurance Code requires that on and after January 1, 2018 four of the department's licensing exams must be provided in the Spanish language. Specifically, the four exams are: life-only, life/accident and health, life-limited to the payment of funeral and burial expenses and accident and health.

The education providers' currently approved courses will need to be revised to comply with the objectives noted above. Those revisions will be due at the time the course is renewed.
