Why C is correct
S.L. 2025-45 repealed the former 20-hour prelicensing education requirement effective 2025-10-01, and current G.S. 58-33-30(d)(1) bars the Commissioner from requiring any specific course or number of hours. Prelicensing education remains available from approved providers, but it is voluntary, so the only correct statement is that no mandated hours exist in North Carolina.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) 20 hours was the historical requirement repealed by S.L. 2025-45 effective 2025-10-01; it is no longer the law.
- B) 24 credit hours with 3 hours of ethics is the continuing education requirement under 11 NCAC 6A .0802(a), not a prelicensing requirement.
- D) The 90-day supervised period describes the adjuster learner's permit under G.S. 58-33-70(c), not prelicensing education.
Memory hook
Since October 2025: no prelicensing hours at all in North Carolina.
