Temporary rule 58G .0104, which has been effective since March 26, 2020, provides for an automatic 90-day extension of time for brokers to complete CE for the 2019-2020 license period.
Because no classes could be offered from June 11 to June 30, 2020, the extension period began on July 1, 2020, and will end on September 30, 2020.
When is the CE extension deadline?
Answer: September 30, 2020.
Which classes must brokers take to make up missed CE hours?
Answer: Any broker who did not complete all 8 hours of CE by June 10, 2020, must take CE elective courses between July 1-September 30, 2020, to make up the missed hours, even if the missed hours included the Update course. Following are three scenarios.
Scenario#1: Broker completed an Update course between July 1, 2019, and June 10, 2020, but did not complete an elective course.
Broker must take ONE Commission-approved elective between July 1 – September 30, 2020, to makeup the missed hours. If an elective course is not completed by September 30, the license will be inactive as of October 1.
Scenario #2: Broker completed an elective course between July 1, 2019, and June 10, 2020, but did not complete an Update course.
Broker must take ONE Commission-approved elective course between July 1 – September 30, 2020, to makeup the missed hours. If an elective course is not completed by September 30, the license will be inactive as of October 1.
Scenario #3: Broker did not complete any CE between July 1, 2019, and June 10, 2020.
Broker must take TWO Commission-approved elective courses between July 1 – September 30, 2020, to makeup the missed hours. If two elective courses are not completed by September 30, the license will be inactive as of October 1.
