Law and Ethics CE Course

Reduced to 4 Hours January 1, 2022


Effective January 1, 2022, the 5-Hour Law and Ethics Update course requirement will be reduced to a 4-Hour Law and Ethics Update requirement. Section 626.2815 , F.S. was amended to reflect this change during the 2021 Legislative Session. Education providers will begin offering the new 4-Hour Law and Ethics Update courses on January 1, 2022, so be on the lookout for the new courses if your compliance cycle is due on or after January 31, 2022.

 

When the change goes into effect, individuals licensed for less than six years will have to complete a 4-Hour Law and Ethics Update course, and 20 hours of elective credits for a total of 24 hours of CE. Those individuals licensed for more than six years are required to complete a 4-Hour Law and Ethics Update and 16 hours of elective credits, for a total of 20 hours of CE. Individuals licensed for 25 years or more who hold a CPCU, CLU, or RMI degree are required to complete a 4-Hour Law and Ethics Update, and six hours of elective credits, for a total of 10 hours of CE.

KIDS' CHANCE WEEK

October 13-17, 2025


Kids’ Chance Week is moving from November to October in 2025!


Kids’ Chance Week, established in 2014, plays a vital role in elevating the visibility of our mission. By uniting our efforts each year during this dedicated week, we amplify our impact and reach a broader audience. Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of children affected by workplace injuries.

 

Every member of the Kids’ Chance community can support our mission during Kids’ Chance Week. By coming together one week each year, we concentrate our efforts, which boosts our volume.  Join our national movement for one day or for the whole week. Every action makes a difference.  

 

Kids’ Chance Week offers many ways for you to participate in supporting children affected by workplace injuries.


One of the KCFL Student Engagement activities during the week is providing care packages to our current scholarship recipients.

 

 


Kids’ Chance believes that we can make a significant difference in the lives of all children affected by a workplace injury by helping them pursue and achieve their educational goals.  Kids’ Chance Awareness Week provides a national platform to increase visibility for the Kids’ Chance mission. There are many ways for you to get involved and show your support. Visit the  Kids’ Chance of Florida  website for more information.  

Help Us Identify Applicants

When a worker is severely injured or killed on the job, it doesn’t just affect them – it affects their entire family. Thinking about the future is put off, and when the time comes, the cost of higher education can be well out of reach.  That’s where Kids’ Chance can help. If you have a potential scholarship applicant, please submit their information via our website at https://kidschancefl.org/refer-a-student/

The Kids’ Chance of America Planning for the Future Initiative is designed to identify potential scholarship applicants, especially those who are not yet of college age. Please share this program with your colleagues who encounter injured workers or their families, especially those that have children who could be eligible for a future scholarship.
