New licensees have extra one-time requirements: 4 hours of regulation/compliance in the renewal year after initial licensure (post-2011 licensees) and one full-agenda Board meeting in the first year of practice (post-2025 licensees). No more than one-third of hours may be distance-based absent an emergency declaration.
