A state-licensed MLO takes a continuing education course that covers both state and federal topics. The course is 8 hours total with 3 hours of federal content and 5 hours of state content. How does this apply to their requirement?
Correct Answer
A) Satisfies the full 8-hour federal requirement
The SAFE Act requires 8 hours of continuing education that includes instruction on federal laws and regulations, but does not require all 8 hours to be exclusively federal content. A course covering both state and federal topics can satisfy the entire requirement if it includes adequate federal instruction.
