Why C is correct
C.R.S. § 10-2-301 requires 24 hours of approved continuing education every 24 months, including at least 3 hours of ethics, and it caps carryover at 12 credit hours — available only during the 120 days before the continuation date. Extra hours earned earlier in the cycle cannot be banked.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) The 12-hour cap is right, but carryover credit is earned only in the final 120 days before the continuation date, not at any point in the cycle.
- B) Colorado has no 50%-of-hours carryover rule, and the window is 120 days, not 30.
- D) CE-exempt producers do not need carryover hours, and no rule allows banking the full 24-hour requirement.
Memory hook
Bank only twelve, and only in the last 120 days before continuation.
