Final answer:
The statement is FALSE - a hardship extension only grants extra time to meet the current year's CE requirements, not the requirements for the following year.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement 'Licensee's granted a hardship extension are granted an extra year to obtain the current year's CE requirements in addition to the CE requirements of the following year' is FALSE.
When a licensee is granted a hardship extension, they are given extra time to meet the current year's CE requirements only, not the following year's requirements as well.
For example, if a licensee is granted a hardship extension in 2021, they would have until the end of that year to complete their CE requirements for 2021, but they would still need to meet the separate CE requirements for 2022 in the following year.
