If a CAM fails to meet the CE requirements before their expiration date, what happens to their license?

When a Community Association Manager (CAM) fails to meet the Continuing Education (CE) requirements before their license expiration date, the consequence is that the license becomes delinquent. This means that the individual is no longer compliant with the state regulations that mandate ongoing education to maintain their license.

In this scenario, a delinquent status often limits the manager's ability to perform professional duties legally until the required education is completed and any delinquent status is resolved. Understanding this ensures CAMs are aware of the importance of continuous education, not just for compliance but also for maintaining their credentials and providing competent service in their management roles.

The other options, such as remaining active, being suspended, or becoming inactive, pertain to different circumstances. An active license denotes compliance with all requirements, while a suspended license implies more serious violations, including issues from disciplinary actions. An inactive license refers to a voluntary status change by the CAM, rather than a result of failing CE requirements. Thus, the correct answer highlights the specific consequences tied directly to the failure to complete CE requirements.
