Section 219-51-5 - CONTINUING EDUCATION REQUIREMENTA. A licensed polygraph examiner shall attend at least twelve (12) hours of polygraph examination-related coursework during his or her initial two-year licensure period, and then at least twenty-four (24) hours of polygraph examination-related coursework during each subsequent four-year licensure period.1. Such coursework may include, but is not limited to, classes, seminars, and lectures, whether conducted in-person, via video and/or audio transmission, or online.B. Before or by the date on which a licensed examiner applies for her or his license to be renewed, the examiner shall submit documentation to the Office of the Commissioner that substantiates that, in the case of the first renewal of the license, the examiner attended at least twelve (12) hours of polygraph examination-related course work during his or her initial two-year licensure period and, in the case of subsequent renewals, that the examiner attended at least twenty-four (24) hours of polygraph examination-related coursework during the preceding four-year licensure period. 1. Such documentation may include, as examples only, certificates of class completion and course transcripts.2. To supplement, or in lieu of, such documentation, a polygraph examiner may compose and submit a letter certifying that he or she has completed the required number of hours of continuing education. Such a letter must be signed by the examiner, and also bear the printed name and signature of a person who witnessed the examiner signing the certification letter.C. The failure of a polygraph examiner to meet his or her continuing education obligation during the preceding (as applicable) two-year or four-year licensure period is grounds for nonrenewal of the examiner's polygraph examiner license.16-219 C.M.R. ch. 51, § 5
