Although the license renews annually in the licensee's birth month, the statute measures the 50 CE hours over the preceding 24-month period (rolling). The first renewal period is exempt from the continuing-education requirement. Retain CE records for 3 years and produce them within 45 days if the Department requests them. The official CT legislature statute page (cga.ct.gov, chap. 378, §20-94d) returned a server error at research time, so the statute text was verified through the Justia mirror instead. Current national certification is required for renewal.
