Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why A is correct
Under G.S. 58-33-130(c), a licensee who fails to meet the CE requirement lapses, but the Commissioner may grant an extension for good cause and/or charge a $75 administrative fee in lieu of the lapse. Waivers are limited to narrow grounds such as military service, so completing CE on time is the ordinary path to staying licensed.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) The $1,000-$5,000 forfeiture attaches to violating a cease-and-desist order under G.S. 58-63-50, and no exam retake is prescribed for CE failure.
- C) The statute provides a lapse with extension and fee alternatives, not automatic permanent revocation.
- D) Continuing education is mandatory under 11 NCAC 6A .0802; ignoring it has real consequences.
Memory hook
Miss CE, lose the license — unless good cause or seventy-five dollars saves it.
