§ 39.11. Penalties for failure to comply with continuing education requirements.

 (a)  An agent or broker shall be notified by the Department, 150 days prior to the expiration date stated on his certificate or license, of the number of credit hours needed to satisfy the continuing education requirements. An agent or broker who has not earned the required number of credit hours as of 60 days prior to the date of renewal shall have his certificate or license terminated as of the expiration date.

 (b)  A person notified of termination of his license or certificate for failure to comply with the continuing education requirements shall have the opportunity to present to the Department documentary evidence showing compliance with the continuing education requirements. The aggrieved party shall present the evidence prior to the expiration date of the license or certificate.

 (c)  Termination will not occur if the agent or broker has successfully completed the required number of credit hours, but completion has not been reported by the sponsor to the Department.

 (d)  Failure to comply with continuing education requirements will be deemed voluntary termination of the agent’s certificate or broker’s license. See § §  37.35(g) and 37.36(f) (relating to renewal of agent’s certificate; and renewal of broker license).

 (e)  An applicant whose certificate or license was terminated under subsection (d) will be required to complete the deficient number of credit hours prior to regaining a certificate or license in addition to satisfying other requirements set forth in Chapter 37 (relating to agent certificates of qualification and broker licenses), unless the Commissioner grants a waiver for good cause shown.
