Why C is correct
Under 11 NCAC 6A .0802(a) and G.S. 58-33-130, a resident producer must complete 24 ICECs (credit hours) in each biennial compliance period. The compliance period spans 24 months, with the compliance year being the second year of the period. Falling short causes the license to lapse unless the Commissioner grants relief.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Fifteen credit hours is another state's continuing education requirement, not the North Carolina biennial figure.
- B) Twenty credit hours is the former, now-repealed prelicensing education figure in North Carolina, not the CE requirement.
- D) Thirty credit hours exceeds the statutory ceiling of 24 credit hours per biennial period.
Memory hook
NC CE = 24 in two years — a two-year clock, twenty-four hours.
