Copy as parenthetical citation

(a) The commissioner may, after notice and hearing, promulgate reasonable rules and regulations necessary to provide for the licensing of agents. “Agent” means a person who is appointed or employed by an HMO and who engages in solicitation or membership in the organization. “Agent” does not include a person enrolling members on behalf of an employer, union or other organization to whom a master subscriber contract has been issued.

(b) The commissioner may by rule exempt certain classes of persons from the requirement of obtaining a license, if other existing licensing procedures make a separate HMO agent's license unnecessary.
