The table below outlines the total CE hours required, including the breakdown of Oregon Rule and Law (ORL), Code Change (CC), and Code-Related (CR) hours for each license type:

Note: ORL refers to courses covering Oregon-specific rules and laws; CC pertains to courses focusing on code changes; CR includes courses related to code applications and interpretations.
