Why D is correct
Under G.S. 58-33-130(c), a license holder who fails the CE requirement lapses unless the Commissioner grants an extension for good cause and/or charges an administrative fee of $75 in lieu of lapse. Waivers are limited to military service or long-term physician-certified medical disability under 11 NCAC 6A .0802(i).
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Revocation without a hearing is not the statutory response to CE noncompliance; G.S. 58-33-130(c) provides the extension and fee alternatives.
- B) The $100 to $1,000 civil penalty of G.S. 58-2-70(d) is not the remedy the CE statute prescribes in lieu of lapse.
- C) A fixed 90-day suspension is not provided by G.S. 58-33-130(c); the statute uses lapse, extension for good cause, or the $75 fee.
Memory hook
Missed CE? Pay 75 bucks or show good cause - otherwise the license lapses.
