Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why A is correct
Under G.S. 58-33-130(c), a producer who fails the CE requirement has a license that lapses, unless the Commissioner grants an extension for good cause and/or charges a $75 administrative fee in lieu of the 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
- B) The $100 to $1,000 range is the Commissioner's general civil penalty under G.S. 58-2-70(d), not the CE noncompliance remedy.
- C) Retaking the examination applies to failed or missed exams; CE noncompliance is handled through extension or the administrative fee.
- D) The license does not remain active on probation; noncompliance results in lapse unless the statutory alternatives are invoked.
Memory hook
Miss CE, license sleeps — unless $75 or good cause wakes it.
