MICHAEL-- YOUR FRIEND HERE IN WYANDOTTE COUNTY!! ON JULY 1, OF THIS YEAR, WE HAD TO BE LICENSED OR EMPLOYEED BY A TITLE COMPANY THAT WAS LICENSED.   ON JULY 7, I TOOK MY TEST AND GOT MY TITLE AGENT LICENSE.  I TOO WORKED A NUMBER OF YEARS (ABOUT 30) WITHOUT A LICENSE, SINCE ONE WAS NOT NEEDED.  GO TO prometric.com AND READ WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY.  YOU CAN TAKE YOUR TITLE INSURANCE TEST AND HAVE 30 DAYS TO PUT IT WITH A TITLE COMPANY OR BE ASSOCIATED WITH A TITLE COMPANY  I TALKED WITH OUR INSURANCE COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE, THEY TOLD ME THAT ALTA PURSUED THIS LAW TO BE PUT INTO EFFECT, IN ORDER TO CUT OUT ALL THE PEOPLE THAT CAME IN OFF THE STREET WANTING TO BE AN ABSTRACTOR, AND THAT WE SHOULD WORK FOR A TITLE COMPANY.  I TOLD HIM I HAD 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND HAD WORKED FOR TITLE COMPANIES.  HE TOLD ME IF I DIDN'T PASS THE TEST, THEN I WOULD BE "UNEMPLOYED"  TO QUOTE HIM.  THIS "GENTLEMAN" ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE LAW WAS PASSED IN ORDER TO " STOP ALL THOSE PEOPLE IN PENNSYLVANIA FROM DOING BUSINESS IN KANSAS".  A FRIEND OF MINE HAS A TITLE COMPANY AND SPONSERED ME, WHICH COMPLIES WITH THE COMMISSIONER'S RULES.
