Why B is correct
TIC 4004.051-.054 reduce the continuing education requirement to 10 hours per license period for the narrower authorities, meaning limited lines, county mutual, and life insurance not exceeding $25,000, because the scope of business those licensees may transact is correspondingly narrow. General lines licensees must still complete 24 hours with 3 hours of ethics, and separately a licensee with 20 or more years of licensure may apply through Sircon for an exemption from continuing education altogether rather than a reduction to 10 hours.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Twenty years of licensure supports an application for full exemption from continuing education, not a reduction to 10 hours.
- C) General lines life, accident and health carries the full 24-hour requirement, not 10 hours.
- D) General lines property and casualty also carries the full 24-hour requirement.
Memory hook
Narrow authority means 10 hours: limited lines, county mutual, small life.
