Why C is correct
Under C.R.S. § 10-2-301, a Colorado producer may carry over a maximum of 12 credit hours into the next cycle, and only hours completed during the 120 days before the continuation date qualify. The producer forfeits the remaining 6 excess hours and any hours earned outside that window.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Carryover is capped at 12 credit hours; the 6 hours beyond the cap cannot roll forward.
- B) The 12-hour cap is correct, but the timing condition is not: only courses completed in the final 120 days before the continuation date may carry over.
- D) 24 hours is the per-cycle requirement, not a carryover cap, and no ethics-only carryover category exists.
Memory hook
Carryover is a 12-hour grace, earned only in the last 120 days.
