Why B is correct
Within the 24-hour continuing education requirement for each 2-year Tennessee renewal cycle under T.C.A. § 56-6-107 and Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0780-1-56, 3 hours must be in ethics. The ethics hours count toward the 24-hour total but cannot be skipped, so a producer completing 24 hours with no ethics coursework remains out of compliance for renewal purposes.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) 10 hours is not part of the Tennessee CE structure; the ethics component is 3 hours of the 24-hour total.
- C) 15 hours is an unrelated window in Tennessee licensing law (the insurer's appointment-filing deadline), not the ethics requirement.
- D) 24 hours is the entire continuing education total per cycle; the ethics subset within it is 3 hours.
Memory hook
Three ethical hours hide inside every 24-hour cycle.
