§2810. Renewal of license; inactive status

R.S. 37:2809 and the presentation to the board of a certificate or certificates attesting to
satisfactory attendance of an educational program or programs totaling fifteen hours of
classroom instruction which have been approved for continuing education credit by the
board. At least three of the fifteen hours shall be in the subject of risk management, which
shall include one hour of ethics.

of a month that the renewal fee has not been paid.
