Why B is correct
Under G.S. 58-33-130(c), a license normally lapses when the licensee fails the continuing education requirement, but the Commissioner may grant an extension for good cause and/or charge a $75 administrative fee in lieu of lapse. Waivers are limited to military service or long-term medical disability certified annually by a physician under 11 NCAC 6A .0802(i), so the $75 fee and extension are the ordinary relief paths.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) The statute provides relief mechanisms under G.S. 58-33-130(c), so the license does not lapse with no recourse.
- C) The $1,000 to $5,000 range is the cease-and-desist forfeiture under G.S. 58-63-50, not a continuing education remedy.
- D) Retaking the licensing examination is not a sanction for continuing education noncompliance under North Carolina law.
Memory hook
Miss CE? A $75 fee and/or a good-cause extension stands in for the lapse.
