Q: Under NY Ins. Law § 2132, how many total continuing education hours (including required ethics hours) must a NY-licensed P&C producer complete each two-year license cycle?

15 hours total, including 3 hours ethics — NY Ins.

CE must be completed by the license renewal date; failure causes administrative non-renewal. The producer self-certifies on the renewal form, but DFS may audit CE records for up to four years.
