Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
(a) In order to
				renew an active manufactured housing salesperson or set-up contractor license
				for license periods beginning on or after July 1, 2003, and in accordance with
				G.S.
				143-143.11B(a), a licensee
				shall have completed the number of credit hours specified in this Paragraph, by
				June 30 of the previous license year. Salespersons shall complete six credit
				hours and set-up contractors shall complete four credit hours. If a licensee
				exceeds the number of credit hours specified in this Paragraph, the excess
				credit hours may be carried forward into the next license year, but the number
				of carry over credit hours may not exceed the number specified in this
				Paragraph. In addition to the specific requirements stated in this Rule, a Law
				and Administration course consisting of at least six hours of continuing
				education for salespersons and at least four hours of continuing education for
				set-up contractors shall be required to be taken for continuing education
				credit at least once in every five year period beginning July 1, 2004. In
				license periods in which a salesperson or set-up contractor takes an approved
				Law and Administration course, no additional courses shall be required during
				that license period. All Law and Administration courses taken for credit shall
				be submitted to and approved by the Board in accordance with
				11 NCAC
				08 .1405 and
				11 NCAC
				08 .1433.
(b) For set-up contractors originally
				licensed on or after July 15, 1999, the person obtaining the required credit
				hours must be a qualifier. If a set-up contractor licensed on or after July 15,
				1999 has more than one qualifier, each qualifier must obtain the required
				number of CE credits for the license period. For set-up contractors originally
				licensed prior to July 15, 1999, the licensee shall designate an individual,
				known as the "qualifier," who is associated with the licensee and is actively
				engaged in the work of the licensee for a minimum of 20 hours per week or a
				majority of the hours operated by the licensee, whichever is less. The
				qualifier shall be the person who obtains CE credits on behalf of the licensee.
				Each licensee shall notify the Board in writing within 10 days after the
				qualifier no longer meets the preceding requirements. If a qualifier has
				obtained excess credit hours which may be carried over into the subsequent
				license year, and no longer meets the requirements of this Section, the carry
				over credits shall not apply to the licensee. If the qualifier becomes employed
				by another licensee and meets the requirements of this Section, the qualifier's
				carry over credit hours may by applied to the licensee with whom the qualifier
				is newly employed for the current license year. A licensee whose qualifier no
				longer meets the requirements of this Section must designate another qualifier
				who shall obtain the required credit hours for the subsequent license
				year.
(c) A licensee who is
				initially licensed on or after January 1 in any license year is exempt from
				this Section for the license period expiring on the next June 30.
(d) A licensee who is qualified as an
				instructor in accordance with
				11 NCAC
				08 .1418 and who serves as an instructor for
				an approved CE course shall receive the maximum credits for the course taught
				by the instructor that are awarded to a student for the course. However,
				teaching credit is valid for teaching an approved CE course or seminar for the
				first time only.
