Up to 12 unused hours carry over to the next compliance period as general hours. CE applies to major lines of authority (life, health, property, casualty, variable life/variable annuity, personal lines); limited lines such as credit, crop, and travel are exempt. CE must be completed by the last day of the birth month at the close of the biennium. No specific separate flood/LTC/annuity-suitability hour mandate was verified on the official source reviewed.
