True or False: Licensees can carry over contact hours from one compliance period to another.

The statement is false because, under Arizona law regarding license renewal and continuing education requirements, licensees are generally not allowed to carry over contact hours from one compliance period to another. Each period has specific requirements that must be met, and any contact hours that are required must be completed within that designated timeframe.

Continuing education is designed to ensure that professionals remain current with developments in their field, and allowing carry-over could undermine that purpose. Resources and requirements may vary based on the specific type of license, but overall, each compliance period demands that the education requirements be satisfied independently of previous periods. Therefore, ensuring that all required hours are completed within the assigned timeframe is crucial for maintaining good standing and compliance with regulatory standards.
