GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:
Total Hours
24 hours biennially
Compliance Renewal Date
Renewal date is the last day of the licensee's birth month, biennially.
You may also need to take specific courses or earn specific credit types to renew your license. These course completions will count toward the total hour requirement.
