except that the board may in its discretion, giving due |
consideration to the protection of the public, waive examination or |
other requirements. The board may assess penalties for late |
renewal that is more than 90 days after the date of expiration. |
Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the board |
shall waive examination if a renewal application is made within 90 |
days after separation from the United States Armed Forces, under |
conditions other than dishonorable, by a person who has failed to |
renew the person's license because the person was on active duty in |
the United States Armed Forces; provided that the waiver of |
examination may not be granted if the person served more than 4 |
years in the United States Armed Forces, except if the person is |
required by some mandatory provision to serve a longer period and |
the person submits satisfactory evidence to the board. |
