All certified and registered contractors must now complete one hour of laws and rules-related continuing education as part of the 14 hours that are currently required during each licensure cycle.

Enforcement of the new one-hour requirement will begin with the expiration of certified licenses on August 31, 2008, and the expiration of registered licenses on August 31, 2009. Those licensees not in compliance with all continuing education requirements by the expiration date of their licenses may face non-renewal or disciplinary action.
