States should make sure their agent licensing programs are fair, an interest group says.
The Coalition for Financial Security, Washington, is talking about exam fairness in connection with the 25th anniversary of a lawsuit settlement involving Golden Rule Insurance Company, Indianapolis.
Golden Rule argued in the lawsuit that the life insurance licensing exam in Illinois was racially biased, according to the CFS, Washington.
A recent CFS survey found “double-digit racial disparities” in passing rates for state life insurance licensing exams, the group says.
