24 contact hours per biennium; 2 hours of Act 31 mandated child abuse reporter training are required every biennial period from an Act 31-approved provider, with electronic verification transmitted directly to the Board; secondary sources claim a 2-hour ethics requirement but the official 2025 renewal guide lists no ethics requirement; professional liability insurance is required to hold an active license.
