Within the 24-hour continuing education requirement, how many hours must a Kentucky property and casualty producer specifically earn in credits related to that line of authority?
A. 20 hours
B. 0 hours; any general credit satisfies the requirement
C. 3 hours
D. 6 hours
Show answer and reasoning
Correct answer: D. 6 hours
Correct. Kentucky requires at least 6 hours of CE credit directly related to each line of authority the producer currently holds.
- A: 20 hours would leave almost no room for the ethics requirement and overstates the line-specific minimum.
- B: Kentucky does require line-specific credit; general credit alone will not satisfy the full CE requirement.
- C: 3 hours is the amount required for ethics, not for line-specific credit.

A. $25,000
B. $50,000
C. $60,000
D. $100,000
Show answer and reasoning
Correct answer: C. $60,000

- A: This amount is too low to satisfy the combined single limit alternative permitted under the statute.
- B: This is the per-accident bodily injury figure under the split-limit structure, not the combined single limit option.
- D: This overstates the combined single limit alternative Kentucky law actually specifies.

A. 10 hours
B. 20 hours

- B: 20 hours is the minimum set for each limited line of authority, not for the full property and casualty major line.
- D: 80 hours overstates the requirement; Kentucky does not require double the property and casualty minimum.

- B: 65% is close but not the figure specified in 806 KAR 9:025.
- D: 80% overstates the requirement; Kentucky's regulatory passing score is lower than this.
