Alabama MCLE rules impose $100 fees: a late-compliance fee for attorneys deemed noncompliant, a late-filing fee for certifying the annual report after the Feb 15 deadline, and a late-reporting fee for failing to timely complete or report an approved deficiency plan. Deficiency plans may earn credits through Mar 15, with extensions (good cause, plus $100) granted no later than Apr 1.Verify with board
