Four (4) of these hours must include the core course, and the additional six hours may be comprised of electives. (BIC licensees will need 8 mandatory hours including 4 hour BIC Duties and Responsibilities class and the 4 hour core course. BIC’s will only need 2 hours of electives.)

A regularly updated calendar of upcoming CE courses is available at the following link: http://llronline.com/POL/REC/recpdf/Doc151.pdf Remember that licenses which expire on June 30, 2022 and are not renewed before January 1, 2023 will be canceled by statute.
