CE is due at the time of renewal (each 24-month biennium). A resident producer holding only one license type (or holding both Life & Annuities and Health) must complete 16 credit hours. A resident producer holding two or more license types must complete 24 credit hours, with a minimum of 8 hours applicable to each license type held. At least 3 hours of Ethics are required each biennium (for producers/consultants this may include Insurance Law and Regulations); Ethics courses categorized as Other General Insurance do not count toward the ethics requirement. No more than 75% of required credits may come from courses provided by insurance agencies or companies. No specific long-term care, annuity suitability, or flood CE mandate is published on the official BOI CE page. Excess credits do not carry to the next cycle. (Note: 24 hours applies to producers holding two or more license types; a single-type producer needs only 16.)
