When a producer fails to complete the required continuing education before the renewal date, the Commissioner may:
a.Allow renewal but suspend the agency contract
b.Ignore the deficiency if the producer pays double the renewal fee
c.Issue a permanent waiver if requested
d.Refuse to renew the license until CE is completed
Explanation
Section 1749.3 makes completion of the required continuing education a precondition of renewal; the Commissioner cannot renew a license that fails the CE requirement. The other options are not authorized remedies.
