§  435. License without examination; temporary licenses. 1. Any person
  over the age of seventeen years who shall present to  the  secretary  of
  state  satisfactory  evidence  that  he has been actually engaged in the
  practice of barbering in this state for at least  one  year  within  the
  period  of three years immediately prior to July first, nineteen hundred
  forty-seven, shall be entitled to a license under this  article  without
  examination,  provided  that  application  therefor,  accompanied by the
  photographs, evidence and the certificate required  by  paragraphs  (a),
  (b)  and  (c),  respectively, of subdivision one of section four hundred
  thirty-four of this article and the  required  annual  license  fee,  is
  filed  with the secretary of state not later than December thirty-first,
  nineteen hundred fifty-one. Nothing in this  subdivision  shall  entitle
  any  person to such license without examination who, since the effective
  date of this article, has taken and been unsuccessful in an  examination
  conducted pursuant thereto.
2.  The  secretary  of  state  shall  issue a temporary license to any
  person over the age of seventeen years, who, upon taking effect of  this
  article,  has  been actually and continuously engaged in the practice of
  barbering in this state for a period of not less  than  six  months,  as
  substantiated  by sworn affidavits or other evidence satisfactory to the
  secretary of state and provided application therefor, accompanied by the
  photographs, evidence, and the certificate required by  paragraphs  (a),
  (b)  and  (c),  respectively, of subdivision one of section four hundred
  thirty-four of this article and one-quarter of the required license fee,
  is filed with the secretary of state.
3. A temporary license issued under  this  section  shall  expire  six
  months  after the date of issuance and such temporary licensee shall not
  be entitled to any further  license  until  he  has  taken  a  regularly
  scheduled  examination  and  qualified  for  a regular license under the
  provisions of this article. The secretary of state may, however, in  his
  discretion,  for  good  cause shown, extend the term of such a temporary
  license for an additional period  not  exceeding  six  months  upon  the
  payment  of  an additional fee equivalent to one-half of the license fee
  prescribed by this article.
4. Any  person  who  has  duly  applied  for  a  license  pursuant  to
  subdivision  one  or  subdivision  two of this section may engage in the
  practice of barbering pending the determination of his application.
5.  The  secretary  of  state  shall  upon  application  and   without
  examination,  issue  a  license  to any person over the age of seventeen
  years who  has  been  duly  licensed  by  any  other  state,  territory,
  protectorate  or  dependency  of  the  United  States  to  engage in the
  practice of barbering upon compliance with  standards  and  requirements
  not lower, in the judgment of the secretary of state, than those of this
  state,  provided,  however,  that  either  such  state  extends  similar
  reciprocity to licensees of this state or the applicant is a  member  of
  the  household  of  a  member  of the armed forces of the United States,
  national guard or reserves and was a member  of  such  household  before
  such   member   relocated  to  the  state.  Such  application  shall  be
  accompanied by the photographs, evidence and the certificate required by
  paragraphs (a), (b) and (c), respectively, of subdivision one of section
  four hundred thirty-four of this article and the required license fee.
6. If any person, eligible for any license, mentioned in this section,
  be in the military service at or during the time  application  for  such
  license  is  required to be filed and license fee paid, according to the
  provisions of this section, the period within which said application may
  be filed and license fee may be paid, is  extended  in  behalf  of  such
  person,  until  three  months  after  the  termination  of said military

  service, any provision  contained  in  this  article  to  the  contrary,
  notwithstanding.
In the case of persons who are or were in the military service and (a)
  have   been   or   will   be  discharged  under  conditions  other  than
  dishonorable, or (b) have a qualifying condition, as defined in  section
  one  of  the veterans' services law, and received a discharge other than
  bad conduct or dishonorable from such service,  or  (c)  are  discharged
  LGBT  veterans, as defined in section one of the veterans' services law,
  and have received a discharge other than  bad  conduct  or  dishonorable
  from  such  service, the period of one year specified in subdivision one
  of this section and the period of six months  specified  in  subdivision
  two  of  this  section  need  not be continuous. The length of time such
  person was engaged in the practice  of  barbering  before  entering  the
  military  service  may  be added to any period of time during which such
  person was or  is  engaged  in  the  practice  of  barbering  after  the
  termination of military service.
