- Provide advice, counsel, or opinion with respect to benefits promised, coverage afforded, terms, value, effect, advantages, or disadvantages of a policy of insurance or annuity.
- Advertise, solicit business, hold themselves out to the public as an insurance counselor, or use such terms as "consultant", "consulting services", or any other language that implies licensed Insurance Counselor.
