Noncompliance

If an agent does not obtain the required eight (8) continuing education hour credits within each twelve-month period as described in § 40-11-401, and have the necessary certificate of compliance filed with the clerk of the court by January 15 of each year, the clerk shall, by certified mail, notify the agent that the agent is not in compliance with the continuing education requirements of this part and the number of hours the agent lacks to be in compliance. If the agent has not furnished the clerk with a certificate of compliance with continuing education requirements within sixty (60) days of receiving the notice of noncompliance, the clerk shall notify the judge of the court who shall then suspend the agent from furnishing bail or bonds securing costs and fines, and remove the agent’s name from the list of qualified and approved professional bondsmen, as described in § 40-11-124, until the agent completes the continuing education credits and properly files the required certificate with the court.
