Under which circumstance can the board not waive continuing education requirements?

The board cannot waive continuing education requirements during jury duty because jury duty is a civic obligation and is often considered a mandatory activity by law. While other scenarios, like medical emergencies, personal leave, and planned vacations might be viewed as optional circumstances that could affect a person's ability to meet continuing education obligations, jury duty represents a legally required commitment that individuals must fulfill.

In many jurisdictions, there is an expectation for individuals to serve when summoned, and this obligation generally does not allow for exceptions in professional licensing requirements. This means that, regardless of any other commitments or plans a licensee may have, they are required to fulfill their civic duty to serve on a jury, and thus cannot expect a waiver for their continuing education during this period.
