Why D is correct
Under G.S. 58-33-130(c), failing to meet the continuing education requirement causes the license to lapse unless the Commissioner grants an extension for good cause and/or charges a $75 administrative fee in lieu of lapse. Separate waivers of the requirement itself are limited to military service or physician-certified long-term medical disability under 11 NCAC 6A .0802(i).
Why the other options are wrong
- A) The statute expressly provides the extension and the $75 fee as alternatives to lapse, so the outcome is not automatic.
- B) The $1,000 to $5,000 range belongs to willful violations of cease-and-desist orders under G.S. 58-63-50 and is not the CE remedy.
- C) Any extension must rest on good cause; a blanket permanent extension without conditions does not exist.
Memory hook
Missed CE? Good-cause extension or a seventy-five dollar save - otherwise lapse.
