Continuing-education requirements for Insurances in Pennsylvania

A licensed resident insurance producer must complete a minimum of 24 hours of approved continuing education during each two-year licensing cycle to maintain the license; failure to do so results in voluntary termination of the license. The official renewal-CE page does not publish a separate ethics-hour requirement for general producer CE (a 3-hour ethics component is documented for initial pre-licensing education, not renewal CE), and no line-specific CE hours (long-term care, annuity suitability, flood) are detailed on the official CE page. Limited CE waivers are available (e.g., military service or documented extenuating circumstances under Act 147 of 2002). CE could not be confirmed to include a mandated ethics or line-specific component on the official source, so those are left unstated.
