Why D is correct
Under A.R.S. 20-2902, the 48-hour requirement (including 6 ethics hours) applies separately to each license term, and there is no carryover of excess hours from one term to the next. Each 4-year term stands on its own, so a producer who finishes early must still earn a fresh 48 hours, including 6 ethics hours, in the following term.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Wrong because Arizona does not allow unlimited carryover; each term's 48-hour requirement under A.R.S. 20-2902 is satisfied by hours earned in that term.
- B) Wrong because there is no partial carryover rule; the statute does not permit any excess hours to roll into the next term.
- C) Wrong because ethics hours are part of the current term's requirement, not a separately carryable category; nothing carries over under A.R.S. 20-2902.
Memory hook
Use them or lose them — Arizona CE hours never roll into the next term.
