(1) GENERAL PROVISION. Subject to sub. (2), an agent of a fraternal is subject to the same licensing requirements as an agent for any other insurer doing the same lines of business, unless the agent was an agent for a fraternal immediately prior to October 2, 1963, and is still such an agent on June 19, 1976. The agent’s authority under this exception ceases upon ceasing, for however short a period, to be an agent for a fraternal. (2) PART-TIME FRATERNAL AGENTS. An agent for one or more fraternals who devotes or intends to devote less than halftime to the solicitation of insurance business is not subject to the requirements of sub. (1). A person is presumed to have devoted half-time to the solicitation of insurance business if in the preceding calendar year the person procured life insurance contracts in a face amount in excess of $50,000, or, in the case of other kinds of insurance, on the persons of more than 25 individuals, and if the person received compensation therefor.
