Why C is correct
Under T.C.A. § 56-6-107 and the implementing departmental rule (Dept. Rule 0780-1-56), the 24-hour continuing-education cycle for Tennessee producers includes a mandatory ethics component of 3 hours. Ethics hours are a required part of the cycle, not an optional elective, and the Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance enforces completion as a condition of remaining in good standing.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Insurance law may be covered in approved coursework, but the mandated subject with a fixed hourly requirement is ethics, and no 10-hour law block exists in the Tennessee requirement.
- B) 24 hours is the total cycle requirement, not a product-training block, and product training is not the mandated subject.
- D) Ethics is indeed the mandated subject, but the requirement is 3 hours, not 30 hours.
Memory hook
Twenty-four total, three of them ethics — Tennessee counts your conscience.
