Excess CE credit hours are NOT allowed to be carried forward into the next licensing term.

NOTE: Be sure to complete all of your CE credit hours BEFORE submitting your license renewal application. ### Category Restrictions Producers must take approved courses in the line(s) of insurance they are licensed to sell.

They may take only a total of 15 credit hours that are approved as Bridge Courses to satisfy their CE renewal requirements or may take a total of 30 hours of credit, with 15 hours in each line of authority. ### Special Training #### Special Training Requirements Effective April 1, 2022, all licensees must complete the following as part of their CE requirement: • INSURANCE LAW – at least 1 hour • ETHICS/PROFESSIONALISM – at least 1 hour • DIVERSITY, INCLUSION and ELIMINATION OF BIAS – at least 1 hour • FLOOD INSURANCE – at least 1 hour if the licensee is licensed to sell one or more lines of property/casualty insurance; at least 3 hours if the licensee sells flood insurance through the NFIP.
