3. A nonresident producer who moves from one state to another state or a resident producer who moves from this state to another state shall file a change of address within thirty days of the change of legal residence.
4. Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, a person licensed as a surplus lines licensee or producer in his or her home state shall receive a nonresident surplus lines license pursuant to subsection 1 of this section. Except as provided in subsection 1 of this section, nothing in this section otherwise amends or supercedes any provision of chapter 384.
5. Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, a person licensed as a limited line credit insurance producer or other type of limited lines producer in his or her home state shall receive a nonresident limited lines producer license, pursuant to subsection 1 of this section, granting the same scope of authority as granted under the license issued by the home state of the producer. For the purposes of this subsection, limited line insurance is any authority granted by the home state which restricts the authority of the license to less than the total authority prescribed in the associated major lines pursuant to subdivisions (1) to (6) of subsection 1 of section 375.018.

This subsection shall also apply to surplus lines licensees licensed pursuant to chapter 384.
7. The director shall not assess a greater fee for an insurance producer license or related service to a person not residing in the state solely on the fact that the person does not reside in this state. The director shall waive any license application requirements for a nonresident license applicant with a valid license from his or her home state, except the requirements imposed by subsection 1 of this section, if the applicant’s home state awards nonresident licenses to residents of this state on the same basis.
