(1) To change a military status license to an active license, the licensee must:

(a) Provide a written notice of the change in their service status;

(b) Pay the current renewal fee, if applicable. The licensee should contact the regulatory program directly prior to making the request to determine whether a renewal fee is due;

(c) Upon request, provide a copy of the orders showing active duty status has changed within the last six months, or discharge papers or DD-214 issued within the last six months.

(2) The licensee must request the military status be changed to active status within six months of honorable discharge by meeting the requirements of subsection (1) of this section.

(3) Continuing education requirements will apply after the first post-discharge renewal. These requirements will be determined by the regulatory program's licensing authority, but will not exceed the requirements needed for the current renewal cycle unless required by the program's authorizing statute or federal guidelines. The licensee should contact the regulatory program directly prior to making the request to determine what requirements must be met.

(4) If the holder of a license fails to comply with subsection (2) of this section, the licensing authority will follow standard late renewal or cancellation processes.
