If your license lapses due to military service, voluntary service, or some other circumstance, such as disability, you may be exempt from CE requirements. Also, if you hold and maintain any one of the following designations, then Utah considers your CE requirements complete: Chartered Life Underwriter, Chartered Financial Consultant, Registered Health Underwriter with the completion of the PACE program; Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter with the completion of the Continuing Professional Development program; And Certified Financial Planner, Registered Employee Benefits Consultant, Certified Insurance Counselors, Accredited Customer Service Representative, Customer Relationship Manager, Society of Financial Examiners, and Insurance Regulatory Examiners Society with the completion of their CE requirements.
