Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why D is correct
Continuing education in Tennessee is a standing licensing obligation under T.C.A. § 56-6-107, implemented through Dept. Rule 0780-1-56 and overseen by the Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance. The 24-hour, 2-year cycle includes 3 mandatory ethics hours, so the duty applies to licensed producers generally rather than only to disciplined or single-line licensees.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Selling a single line does not waive the continuing-education obligation; T.C.A. § 56-6-107 applies to licensed producers.
- B) Discipline is not the trigger for continuing education; the obligation is recurring for all licensed producers.
- C) Hours come from approved coursework under the departmental rule, not exclusively from an insurer's in-house programs.
Memory hook
CE is for everyone, every cycle — and ethics always comes along.
