W. Va. Code § 33-12-19: Solicitor to act only through appointed agent.

A solicitor shall solicit and receive applications for insurance only for the duly licensed agent who appointed such solicitor, and shall report all business through the agent. The expiration, cancellation, suspension or revocation of the license of the appointing agent shall automatically expire, cancel, suspend or revoke the solicitor's license in like manner, and the appointing agent may cancel a solicitor's license at any time by written request to the commissioner. No agent may apply for licenses for more than two solicitors. No solicitors shall be permitted for life insurance agents.
