Four hours with each biennial renewal application, for both active and inactive licensees, under OAR 801-040-0010.
No longer. The requirement may be satisfied by any ethics programme approved by the Board, and the Board no longer maintains an approved ethics course list. Older guidance describing a mandatory Oregon-specific course predates the rule change.
The reporting period runs 1 July to 30 June biennially, ending in odd years for odd-numbered permits and even years for even-numbered permits. You need 80 hours with at least 20 in each year of the period.
Up to 20 hours may be carried forward from one reporting period to the next toward the 80-hour total, but carry-forward hours may not be used to meet the 20-hour annual minimum.
Active licensees whose principal place of business is outside Oregon may meet the requirement by satisfying the rules of that jurisdiction, signing a statement to that effect on the Oregon renewal. Licensees whose principal place of business is in a jurisdiction without CPE requirements are not eligible for this provision.
Requirements are prorated from your licence date. Where the period is less than three full months, the only CPE required for renewal is the four hours of ethics.
