Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why A is correct
Under G.S. 58-33-130(c), a license failure to meet CE requirements causes the license to lapse, except that the Commissioner (or administrator) may grant an extension for good cause and/or charge an administrative fee of $75 in lieu of the lapse. Waivers exist only for military service or long-term physician-certified medical disability, so ordinary missed deadlines are handled through the extension or the $75 fee.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) CE noncompliance is cured by extension, fee, or waiver under G.S. 58-33-130(c); no re-examination is involved.
- C) There is no automatic reinstatement; the lapse stands unless the Commissioner grants an extension or accepts the fee.
- D) $50 is the license application fee under G.S. 58-33-125(c); the in-lieu-of-lapse administrative fee is $75.
