(b) An individual licensed as an insurance producer in another state who moves to this state shall make application within ninety days of establishing legal residence to become a resident licensee pursuant to section five of this article. No prelicensing education or examination shall be required of that individual to obtain any line of authority previously held in the prior state except where the insurance commissioner determines otherwise by regulation.
