Why B is correct
Under Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 120-2-3-.09, a Georgia licensee with fewer than 20 years of licensure must complete 24 hours of continuing education per biennium, of which 3 hours must be ethics. The ethics block is mandatory, not elective, so a licensee who piles up 24 technical hours without the 3 ethics hours still falls short of compliance.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) 20 hours is the biennium requirement for licensees with 20 or more years of licensure, not for licensees under that threshold under Reg. 120-2-3-.09.
- C) The 24-hour total is correct, but the ethics requirement is 3 hours; there is no 10-hour ethics component in the Georgia CE rule.
- D) 30 hours with no ethics matches no Georgia tier; the standard tier is 24 hours including the mandatory 3 ethics hours.
Memory hook
Under twenty years licensed: 24 and 3 — two dozen hours, three of them ethics.
