Why A is correct
Tennessee licenses renew biennially, and the continuing education requirement is 24 hours every 2 years, set under T.C.A. § 56-6-107 and implemented through the continuing education rule administered by TDCI (Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0780-1-56). The 24 hours include 3 hours of ethics each cycle, so a producer falling short of either the total or the ethics component is not in compliance for renewal.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) Tennessee's cycle is biennial, not annual — 24 hours covers a 2-year renewal period, not each single year.
- C) 3 hours is the ethics subset of the requirement, not the total; the producer needs 24 hours every 2 years.
- D) 10 hours a year does not match the Tennessee structure of 24 hours per 2-year cycle.
Memory hook
Twenty-four by two: 24 CE hours every 2 years, 3 of them ethics.
