Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why D is correct
Tennessee producer licenses renew biennially under T.C.A. § 56-6-107, and each renewal cycle requires completion of the continuing education obligation — 24 hours every 2 years, including 3 hours of ethics — under the CE framework administered by TDCI (Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0780-1-56). Renewal is therefore a two-part discipline: keep the cycle timely and keep the CE current.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Tennessee renewal is not annual, and CE is required every cycle, not on an alternating schedule.
- B) Continuing education is a recurring renewal condition; it is not a one-time requirement satisfied at initial licensure.
- C) The renewal cycle is 2 years, not 3; the ethics hours are embedded within the 24-hour CE total rather than tracked separately.
Memory hook
Every two years: renew the license, refresh the 24 hours.
