80 credit hours per 2-year license term (does not apply to a licensee's first renewal), including 4 hours of professional ethics. No explicit annual minimum in this section. Up to 80 excess hours may carry forward to the next 2-year term (but excess ethics hours specifically cannot satisfy a future term's own 4-hour ethics requirement). Verified directly against the codified regulation text.
