Jennifer is a Michigan real estate salesperson who completed 16 of the required 18 hours of continuing education before her license renewal deadline. She submitted her renewal application on time but listed only the 16 completed hours. Which of the following outcomes is most likely under Michigan law?

Correct Answer

B) LARA-BPL will deny her renewal application, and her license will expire until she completes all required CE hours

Under MCL 339.2517 and LARA-BPL renewal rules, completion of all required continuing education hours is a mandatory prerequisite to license renewal. Michigan does not recognize a 'substantial compliance' or de minimis exception for CE shortfalls. If Jennifer has not completed all 18 required hours (including the mandatory civil rights module), LARA-BPL will deny the renewal application. Her license will expire, and she will need to complete the outstanding CE hours and apply for reinstatement with any applicable late fees before she can resume practice.

Answer Options
A
LARA-BPL will renew her license provisionally and give her 90 days to complete the remaining 2 hours
B
LARA-BPL will deny her renewal application, and her license will expire until she completes all required CE hours
C
LARA-BPL will renew her license because 16 hours substantially satisfies the 18-hour requirement under a de minimis exception
D
LARA-BPL will refer her case to the Attorney General's office for prosecution of license fraud
