What happens if a licensee fails to comply with educational requirements by the expiration date?

If a licensee fails to comply with educational requirements by the expiration date, the consequences can be significant. Specifically, the director has the authority to refuse to continue the license if the licensee has not met the required educational criteria. This ensures that all active licensees maintain a standard of knowledge and competency in their field, which is crucial for the integrity of the profession and the protection of the public.

In Idaho, continuing education is essential for independent adjusters to keep their skills and knowledge current with changes in the industry, laws, and regulations. Failure to comply indicates a lack of commitment to professional development and could affect the quality of service provided to clients. Therefore, the director's ability to refuse renewal of the license serves as a mechanism to uphold the standards of the profession.
