B. 40 hours of health-specific pre-licensing education [CORRECT]
C. 60 hours of combined life and health education
D. No pre-licensing education required for health only
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Florida requires 40 hours of pre-licensing education specifically for the 2-40

lines. This is distinct from the 40-hour life pre-licensing or 60-hour combined life and

requirements. What is the consequence if the license expires?

,B. License becomes inactive but can be renewed with late fee
C. Must reapply as a new applicant and complete pre-licensing education again
[CORRECT]
D. Automatic license reinstatement upon CE completion
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Florida does not provide grace periods for license renewal. If a 2-40 license
expires due to failure to complete the required 24 hours of CE (including 3 hours of
ethics) every 2 years, the agent must reapply as a new applicant, including pre-licensing
education and examination. Options A and B describe non-existent grace periods, and D
is not automatic.

operating in the state?
A. Florida Insurance Code Chapter 624 only

20+ employees. Option C is incorrect because Florida mandates continuation coverage
for small groups.
