The State recently adopted its Fiscal Year 2027 Budget. It includes a significant reduction in funding for the Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Program.  Considering the budget allocation, Commission staff is currently working to assess 2027 CPE program costs and will provide an update when the Calendar Year 2027 allocation is determined.  As a reminder, agency allocations are based on Full time Equivalent (FTE) count which is calculated using the 2026 agency annual report. It is anticipated agencies will receive their 2027 Calendar Year CPE disbursements in December 2026.
