Why C is correct
C.R.S. § 10-2-301(1) and (3) require resident producers to complete 24 hours of approved continuing education in every 24-month cycle, including at least 3 hours of insurance ethics. Producers holding multiple lines complete the hours once rather than per line, and the Commissioner may extend compliance by up to 1 additional year for good cause. A Colorado life producer who tracks the cycle end date and books the ethics block early avoids the suspension that follows a CE shortfall.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) 50 hours is the prelicensing requirement under C.R.S. § 10-2-201, not the continuing-education total.
- B) The CE cycle runs 24 months, not 12 months.
- D) The ethics minimum is 3 hours per cycle, not 10.
Memory hook
24 hours in a 24-month cycle, with 3 of them on ethics.
