Why D is correct
Va. Code § 38.2-1866 requires a Virginia producer licensed for a single type of insurance to complete 16 hours of continuing education in each 2-year period. The CE obligation is a core license-maintenance duty, tracked by the Virginia Bureau of Insurance through its continuing-education system. The 16-hour figure applies only to single-type licensees; holding additional license types raises the total.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) 8 hours is the per-category minimum for multi-type licensees, not the total for a single-type producer under Va. Code § 38.2-1866.
- B) 3 hours is the ethics component required each CE period, not the overall total.
- C) 24 hours is the total required of producers licensed for two or more types, not for a single type.
Memory hook
One license type, 16 hours every 2 years.
