Upon receipt of the information required in § 20:06:18:05, the director shall approve or deny the course. Based on the number of contact hours, the director shall assign the number of CEC hours awarded for an approved course and any line of insurance for which it qualifies. Forty-five days after filing, a course is considered approved for the number of CEC hours requested in the provider's course filing unless it has been formally approved or disapproved by the director within that period. The director may, at any time after notice and for cause shown, withdraw a course approval. Licensees who attend a course prior to the time approval is withdrawn will receive CEC hours. A course may not be established for less than one CEC hour. Courses submitted for approval must consist of a minimum of one hour of course instruction. Courses conducted in conjunction with other meetings must have a separate continuing education course component. The director may audit continuing education offerings or other related insurance education offerings with or without notice to the provider.
