Expert regulations are revised to contain a continuing education requirements
in order to renew the license. As the license renewals are on a staggered two
year time frame, this means that those that renew December 2017 can obtain the
8 continuing education credits in the two year time frame from January 1, 2016
to December 2017. Those that renew December 2018 can obtain the 8 credits in
the two year time frame from January 1, 2017 to December 2018. And repeat for
next two year cycle.
Effective January 1, 2016, Licensed Tree Experts
are required to obtain 8 continuing education credits over the two year period
prior to their renewal. This requirement was requested by the tree care
industry in order to ensure that all licensed tree experts are current in their
knowledge of tree care and are operating in a safe manner.
