Why A is correct
T.C.A. § 56-6-107 and Dept. Rule 0780-1-56 make continuing education a recurring obligation: 24 hours, including 3 hours of ethics, in each 2-year renewal cycle. Completing one cycle does not bank credit forward in a way that removes later cycles, so this producer's next full 24-hour obligation arises in the following 2-year cycle.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) Tennessee's continuing-education duty recurs every cycle; no 5-year holiday from coursework exists under T.C.A. § 56-6-107.
- C) The requirement is continuous across renewal cycles, not a one-time obligation in the year of licensure.
- D) The 24-hour requirement is measured per 2-year cycle, not annually.
Memory hook
Every 2 years the 24-hour clock resets — including the 3 ethics hours.
