What if my minimum CLE credits are not completed or reported by the last day of my MCLE compliance year?
If you have NOT completed or reported the minimum 15 hours of CLE by the last day of your MCLE compliance year, you will automatically be given your birth month as a grace period in order to complete and report your credits without a penalty. However, if your minimum CLE credits are not completed and reported by the last day of your birth month, then you would be in non-compliance and subject to a penalty. The non-compliance penalty is determined by the date upon which the MCLE Director receives the member’s report of the completed hours, as follows: $100 if received within one month after the birth month, $200 if received within two months after the birth month, and $300 if received thereafter, but before suspension of the member. Payment of the non-compliance fee is required in order to bring a member’s MCLE record into compliance. Failure to pay the non-compliance fee shall be considered non-compliance with MCLE requirements and will subject the member to suspension.
