    (1) The commissioner may license as a surplus line broker a person who is otherwise qualified under this code but who is not a resident of this state, if by the laws of the state or province of his or her residence or domicile a similar privilege is extended to residents of this state.

    (2) A person under subsection (1) of this section must meet the same qualifications, other than residency, as any other person seeking to be licensed as a surplus line broker under this chapter.  A person granted a nonresident surplus line broker's license must have all the same responsibilities as any other surplus line broker and is subject to the (a) commissioner's supervision as though resident in this state and (b) rules adopted under this chapter.
