Why D is correct

Under Chapter 626, Florida Statutes, an insurance transaction includes soliciting or inducing interest in insurance, negotiating coverage, and effectuating contracts of insurance. Licensing obligations attach to these acts, which is why a person must be licensed by the Department of Financial Services to solicit or negotiate insurance with the public in Florida.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A) Delivery of the policy is only the final step; solicitation and negotiation are also transactions.
  • B) Premium collection is a servicing function, and transacting is not limited to it.
  • C) Claims handling is a separate activity; the transaction definition centers on soliciting, negotiating, and effectuating coverage.

Why D is correct

Under Chapter 626, Florida Statutes, transacting insurance includes the solicitation, negotiation, sale, and effecting of insurance contracts - the activities for which a Florida license is required. An internal reserve audit is the insurer's own operation, servicing a policy loan is repayment of an existing debt, and a bank's securities investment is unrelated to the business of insurance. The practical consequence is significant: a person who solicits or negotiates insurance without a license commits an unlicensed transaction violation.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A) An internal reserve audit is part of the insurer's own business operations, not solicitation or negotiation with the public.
  • B) Paying policy loan interest services an existing debt; it is not soliciting, negotiating, or effecting insurance.
  • C) A bank's securities investment has nothing to do with the business of insurance.

Memory hook

Transaction = solicit, negotiate, sell - the licensed acts.
