What you need to renew
40 hours every 2 years
A.R.S. 32-1825: every licensee renews every other year on or before January 1, with at least 40 clock hours of Board-approved CME in the two preceding years. The Board's renewal page says licenses are due December 31 of either even- or odd-numbered years, depending on the license, and that notices go out the last Friday in October. R4-22-207(A): 40 hours in the two years before renewal. A June 26, 2026 proposed rulemaking (oral proceeding July 30, 2026) would amend R4-22-207 and add a CME audit rule (R4-22-208); it was not final when this was checked.
