Hawaii CE Priority List
1.) The Rules/Ethics requirement will first be satisfied by any Rules/Ethics credits.
A.) If there is an excess of Rules/Ethics credits (the Rules/Ethics requirement has been met), the excess will first go to the Life/Health requirement.
B.) If the Life/Health requirement has been met, then any leftover Rules/Ethics credits will go to the Property/Casualty requirement.
C.) If the producer has not taken any or enough Rules/Ethics courses, the remaining credit requirements may be fulfilled by Ethics/Life-Health first and then Ethics/Property-Casualty.
(NOTE: If the producer has satisfied the Rules/Ethics requirement using the Ethics/Life-Health or Ethics/Property-Casualty, the excess Ethics/Property-Casualty will go to Property/Casualty only and the excess Ethics/Life-Health will go to Life/Health only)
2.) The Life/Health requirement will first be satisfied by any Life/Health credits, then Rules/Ethics and last Ethics/Life-Health. (Ethics/Life-Health credits will not count towards the Property/Casualty requirement)
3.) The Property/Casualty requirement will first be satisfied by Property/Casualty credits, then Rules/Ethics, and last Ethics/Property-Casualty. (Ethics/Property-Casualty credits will not count towards the Life/Health requirement)
Courses are re-distributed according to priority each time a new course is added to the producer's education transcript.
