Why C is correct
215 ILCS 5/500-35 requires 24 hours of continuing education in each 2-year renewal period, including 3 hours of ethics. Do not confuse this with the 20 hours of pre-licensing education required per line or with the smaller association-participation credit. The 24 hours must be completed before the birth-month renewal date every 2 years.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) 12 hours understates the requirement; 215 ILCS 5/500-35 sets 24 hours per 2-year period.
- B) 20 hours is the per-line pre-licensing education requirement, not the continuing-education total under 215 ILCS 5/500-35.
- D) 30 hours overstates the requirement; 215 ILCS 5/500-35 sets 24 hours per 2-year renewal period.
Memory hook
Twenty-four hours every 2 years — three of them live ethics.
