Chen is a Virginia salesperson who completed his 30-hour post-license education and renewed his license on time. For his second renewal, Chen completed 12 hours of VREB-approved CE but could not finish the remaining 4 hours before the renewal deadline due to a documented medical emergency. He submits his renewal application with only 12 hours of CE. Under Virginia law, what is the most accurate statement about Chen's situation?

Correct Answer

B) The VREB may grant a hardship waiver or extension in documented cases of medical emergency, but the full 16-hour requirement must ultimately be satisfied.

Under VREB regulations and Va. Code § 54.1-2105, the VREB has authority to consider hardship waivers or extensions in documented extraordinary circumstances such as a medical emergency. However, the waiver or extension does not permanently eliminate the requirement; the full 16-hour CE obligation must ultimately be completed. Licensees should contact the VREB directly to request an extension with supporting documentation.

Answer Options
A
Chen's license automatically renews because he completed more than half of the required CE hours.
B
The VREB may grant a hardship waiver or extension in documented cases of medical emergency, but the full 16-hour requirement must ultimately be satisfied.
C
Chen's license expires, and he must retake the Virginia licensing exam before he can practice again.
D
Chen may renew with 12 hours and carry the 4-hour deficit forward to the next renewal cycle without penalty.
