DEFAULT JUDGMENT AND ORDER

I.FINDINGS OF FACT

Respondent Kimberly Trevino (“Respondent”) holds Vermont non-resident insurance producer license # 3154247.
License # 3154247 was last renewed in 2021 and is effective until March 31, 2023.
Respondent’s resident state is Florida.
On April 2, 2021, the Florida Department of Financial Services issued an order revoking Respondent’s Florida resident insurance agent license (“Florida Order”).
In the Florida Order, the Florida Department of Financial Services found that Respondent had pled nolo contendere to a third Driving Under the Influence charge within ten years, resulting in a felony conviction, grounds for immediate revocation of Respondent’s insurance licenses under Florida law.
As of November 4, 2021, Respondent had not reported to the Commissioner the administrative action taken against Respondent by Florida.
As of the effective date of this Default Judgment and Order, more than 30 days after service of the Petition and Notice, no answer, request for a hearing, or other defense to the Petition has been received by the Insurance Division from Respondent.
More than 10 days have passed since the Insurance Division filed a motion for default judgment in the above-captioned matter and served the motion on Respondent.

II.CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

Because Florida has revoked Respondent’s resident insurance license, causing Respondent to lose good standing in Respondent’s resident state, revocation of Respondent’s Vermont non-resident insurance producer license is authorized pursuant to 8 V.S.A. § 4804(a)(2) and (10).
Because Respondent failed to report to the Commissioner the administrative action taken against Respondent by Florida, Respondent violated 8 V.S.A. §4813o and revocation of Respondent’s Vermont non-resident insurance producer license is authorized pursuant to 8 V.S.A. § 4804(a)(3).
Because no answer, request for a hearing, or other defense to the Petition has been received by the Insurance Division from Respondent, and as more than 10 days have passed since the Insurance Division filed a motion for default judgment, the allegations contained in the Petition are treated as proven and a default judgment may be entered in the above-captioned matter, pursuant to Sections 5 and 12 of the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation (formerly known as the Vermont Department of Banking, Insurance, Securities and Health Care Administration) Hearing Procedures, identified as Regulation 82-1.

III.ORDER

Based on the findings of fact and conclusions of law set forth above, a default judgment is entered against Respondent, and it is hereby ordered that the non-resident insurance producer license # 3154247 of Respondent Kimberly Trevino is revoked, effective immediately.

Dated at Montpelier, Vermont this _____ day of November 2021.
