Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 1, October 31, 2024

Section 440-X-4-.09 - Over 65 Years Of Age Exemption From Continuing Education Requirements For Inactive Contractors Only

(1) Any INACTIVE contractor who is 65 years of age or older is exempt from continuing education requirements. The inactive contractor is not eligible for this exemption until the year after they turn 65 years old. This exemption does not apply for the year in which the inactive contractor turns 65 years old.

(a) Example:

(1) If the inactive contractor is 64 on January 1, 2010 and turns 65 on January 2, 2010 the inactive contractor does not qualify for the exemption for the 2010 licensing year, however the inactive contractor will qualify for the exemption during the renewal period for the 2011 licensing year.

(b) Example:

(2) If the inactive contractor turns 65 on December 31, 2009 they would qualify for the exemption and not be required to have 4 hours of continuing education to renew for 2010 licensing year because their birthday occurred prior to the 2010 licensing year.

(2) Once the inactive contractor returns to active status after the age of 65, they will be required to submit 8 hours of Continuing Education prior to receiving an active contractor's license.

(3) This exemption DOES NOT apply to contractors 65 years or older who hold an ACTIVE certification.
