What is the annuity training requirement for insurance continuing education?

Most states require a one-time annuity training course before you can sell annuities, commonly 4 hours and built on the best-interest standard for annuity recommendations. Several states add ongoing hours: California requires 8 hours before your first sale and 4 hours before each renewal, Texas requires a 4-hour course before selling plus 8 hours of annuity CE each two-year cycle, and Illinois and Georgia each require a one-time 4-hour course.
