Why B is correct
Under C.R.S. § 10-2-201(1) and Reg. 1-2-5, an applicant for a Colorado life producer license must complete 50 hours of approved prelicensing education for the line. This requirement ensures every applicant receives standardized instruction before sitting for the Colorado examination administered under the Colorado Division of Insurance.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) 40 hours is a common out-of-state figure and is not the Colorado prelicensing requirement.
- C) 24 hours is the Colorado continuing education requirement per 24-month cycle, not the prelicensing total.
- D) 75 is a count of scored exam items on another Colorado line's examination, not an education hour total.
Memory hook
Fifty for the license: Colorado wants 50 prelicensing hours per line before you sell.
