Termination of Appointment

An appointing entity may terminate an appointee anytime (subject to contract rights) but must give the appointee at least sixty (60) days' advance notice — in person or mailed to the last known address, with the postmark date counting as the notice date. The 60-day notice is NOT required when the ground would cause compulsory/discretionary refusal, suspension, or revocation by the Department. The entity must file written notice with the Department within thirty (30) days after termination, including confirmation of the 60-day notice and the reasons and facts. Outstanding contracts written by the appointee continue until the contract's expiration date (or anniversary date for continuous policies). The appointee may terminate their own appointment at any time by written or electronic notice — the Department terminates it immediately.

The company gives you 60 days' warning; the state gets its paperwork within 30; your in-force clients keep their coverage.
