Attn. NJ CIC & CISR designees: According to the NJ DOBI, producers who maintain & fulfill the CE requirements for a professional insurance designation approved by the DOBI (CIC, CISR), shall be awarded 12 credit hours for each full year of the four years preceding renewal for which these requirements were fulfilled.
