Of the twenty-four (24) hours at least three (3) shall relate to ethical requirements. The requirements of this section do not apply to nonresident insurance producers, those persons who hold licenses for any kinds of insurance for which an examination is not required, nor shall they apply to any such limited or restricted licenses as the commissioner may exempt.

(b) Any person teaching any approved continuing education course or lecturing at any approved seminar shall qualify for the same number of classroom hours granted to the person taking the course or seminar.

(c) The commissioner may promulgate rules and regulations necessary to carry out the purposes of this section.

(e) For good cause shown, the commissioner may grant an extension of up to one (1) year to complete the required continuing education.

(f) Every person subject to this section shall furnish, in a form satisfactory to the commissioner, written certification as to the courses, programs or seminars of instruction taken by that person. The certification shall be executed by or on behalf of the sponsoring organization within a fifteen (15) day period following the course, program or seminar. A nonresident adjuster having met the continuing education requirements in his home state is exempt from the provisions of this section. A nonresident adjuster not licensed in his home state is subject to the requirements of this section.

(g) The commissioner is authorized to assess every person subject to this section a fee of thirty dollars ($30.00) in addition to the license fee and payable at the time of license renewal, for the support of continuing education. The fee for support of continuing education shall be deposited in the general fund.

(h) Any person failing to submit proof required by rule of the commissioner of having met the requirements of this section and who has not been granted an extension of time within which to comply shall not have his license renewed until the person demonstrates to the satisfaction of the commissioner that he has complied with all requirements of this section.
