Iowa Code r. 481-962.2 - [Effective until 7/2/2025] Continuing education requirements
(1) Requirements
for permanent licensees. The continuing education compliance period runs
concurrently with each two-year renewal period beginning on July 1 of each
odd-numbered year and ending on June 30 of the next odd-numbered year. Each
person who is licensed to practice as a sign language interpreter or
transliterator in this state will be required to complete a minimum of 40 hours
of continuing education as specified in rule
481-962.3 (154E,272C).
(2) Exception for new permanent licensees. A
person licensed for the first time will not be required to complete continuing
education as a prerequisite for the first renewal of the license. Thereafter,
the new licensee will complete the continuing education requirements as set
forth in rule 481-962.3 (154E,272C). The
licensee may use continuing education hours acquired anytime from the initial
licensing until the second license renewal to meet the requirements.

be obtained by attending and participating in a continuing education
activity.
