UNIFORM LICENSING STANDARDS

The Working Group has requested state updates to the Uniform Licensing Standards Compliance Charts.  

The ULS charts were last updated in 2017. To confirm we have the correct information; we are asking each state to review the ULS Checklist and provide their responses. 

For any non-compliance areas please indicate whether it is due to a regulation/rule or a department process. In addition, if there is any legislation pending please update the chart with that information.

We are still working to collect all state responses. Please send your responses back to me at Gwelker@naic.org and Courtney.Khodabakhsh@oid.ok.gov.
