24 hours of approved insurance CE must be completed each two-year licensing period before the renewal deadline. At least 3 of those hours must be in ethics. At least 12 hours must not be sponsored by, offered by, or affiliated with an insurance company or its agents (i.e., no more than half from company-affiliated courses). No more than 8 CE hours may be credited in a single day, and a course cannot be repeated for credit within the same licensing period.
