Happy New Year! Firm renewals were due by December 31, 2011 - Have you sent yours in yet?

The New Year will bring some changes to Continuing Education rules throughout the country. This is due in part to the NCARB Model Law changes that took place in June 2011. Many states have amended their laws to mirror the model law. As we previously indicated the NC rules also mirror the NCARB model law with some minor differences. At this time we don’t anticipate any major rule changes. If you are licensed in multiple states be sure to review the CE rules and laws for all the states to ensure compliance.
