Salesperson Yuki Tanaka has been licensed in Alaska for three years. Her license renewal is due, and she has completed 20 hours of continuing education. However, she completed only two hours of ethics education and 18 hours of elective topics. She submits her renewal application to AREC. Under 12 AAC 64, which of the following best describes the outcome of her renewal application?

Correct Answer

D) Her renewal will be denied or her license placed on inactive status because she has not met the mandatory three-hour ethics requirement.

Under 12 AAC 64, Alaska requires 20 hours of continuing education per two-year renewal cycle, and within those 20 hours, at least three hours must be dedicated to ethics. This is a mandatory topic requirement, not simply a total-hours requirement. Yuki completed only two ethics hours, which means she has not satisfied the mandatory ethics component. AREC will deny her renewal or place her license on inactive status until she completes the required ethics hour.

Answer Options
A
Her renewal will be approved with a condition that she complete one additional ethics hour within 90 days.
B
Her renewal will be approved because the ethics requirement only applies to brokers, not salespersons.
C
Her renewal will be approved because she has completed the required total of 20 continuing education hours.
D
Her renewal will be denied or her license placed on inactive status because she has not met the mandatory three-hour ethics requirement.
