How long does a licensee have to respond to the board if notified of non-compliance with CE requirements?

A licensee must respond to the board within 30 days if they are notified of non-compliance with continuing education (CE) requirements. This timeframe is established in the rules and regulations governing professional counseling in Tennessee, ensuring that licensees have a clear and reasonable period in which to address any issues regarding their compliance status.

The 30-day requirement also emphasizes the importance of adhering to ongoing professional development standards, which are essential for maintaining the quality of care provided to clients.
