This rule amendment is proposed to improve licensees continuing education by amending the required topics to be covered in the legal update seminars. This rule change also prohibits licensees and instructors from receiving credit for attending or teaching the same course more than once every two consecutive biennial renewal periods. The proposed rule amendment also eliminates the exception from annual continuing education requirements for initial licensees during the first biennium of licensure beginning on January 1, 2010. Beginning September 2010, licensees in their first biennium of licensure will be required to complete an annual legal update course only.
