Details

Reporting
Attest to CE on the official renewal notice/application; answer the mandatory opiate-prescribing CE question.
Grace period
Not stated in the cited regulation; renewal must be requested no later than the expiration date.

172 NAC 90-005: during the preceding 24 months, complete either 50 hours of Category I CE (ACCME/AOA/AAPA) or meet NCCPA requirements within the previous 24 months. Up to 25 excess hours may carry over to the next 24-month period. The 2025 official renewal notice confirms the October 1, 2025 deadline, the CE attestation, the LB731 opiate-prescribing CE question, and first-licensed/military exemptions. The opiate-prescribing 3-hour requirement (Uniform Credentialing Act statute) terminates January 1, 2029. The reg text above was verified against both the official 172 NAC 90 text and the official 2025 PA renewal notice, so the 'draft 8.23.19' watermark on the DHHS PDF does not reflect a change in these requirements.
