Resident producers must complete 24 CE credit hours every two years, including a minimum of 3 hours in ethics. Holding multiple lines of authority does not increase the requirement (still 24 total). No carryover credits are permitted, and a course cannot be repeated for credit within the same reporting period. Line-specific training applies: long-term care insurance training (Title 24-A Chapter 68-A, Bulletin 347) and annuity suitability training (Rule Chapter 917) for producers selling those products. New licensees get at least one year before their first compliance date. No flood-specific CE was found on the official CE page.
