• All existing producers qualified to sell annuities and who have completed the previous Annuity Suitability training requirement prior to January 1, 2023, may complete a one-credit refresher course on Annuity Best Interest between January 1, 2023, and July 1, 2023, or can also complete the new Annuity Best Interest four-credit course to be in good order.
• New producers on or after January 1, 2023, must take a four-credit course to become qualified. The course will cover Annuity Best Interest. Nonresident producers are expected to be in compliance with the training standards regarding Annuity Best Interest in South Dakota. Completion of these requirements in another state whose training is substantially similar in content to the South Dakota regulation will be deemed to be compliant with South Dakota. Insurance companies are responsible for nonresident producer training compliance. Course providers may submit Annuity Best Interest courses starting July 1, 2022, for Division review. Four-credit Annuity Best Interest courses will be available to producers starting October 1, 2022.4 One-hour refresher courses will be available to producers starting January 1, 2023. Any courses covering previous annuity sales standards will become inactive starting October 1, 2022.
