Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
A military service applicant may apply for credit for
				  verified military education, training, or service toward any experience or
				  educational requirement for licensure by submitting a military service
				  application form to the board office.
(1) The completed military service
				application may be submitted with an application for licensure or examination
				or prior to an applicant's applying for licensure or to take an examination. No
				fee is required with submission of an application for military service
				credit.
(2) The applicant shall
				identify the experience or educational licensure requirement to which the
				credit would be applied if granted. Credit shall not be applied to an
				examination requirement.
(3) The
				applicant shall provide documents, military transcripts, a certified affidavit,
				or forms that verify completion of the relevant military education, training,
				or service, which may include, when applicable, the applicant's Certificate of
				Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD Form 214) or Verification of Military
				Experience and Training (VMET) (DD Form 2586).
(4) Upon receipt of a completed military
				service application, the board shall promptly determine whether the verified
				military education, training, or service will satisfy all or any part of the
				identified experience or educational licensure requirement.
(5) The board shall grant the application in
				whole or in part if the board determines that the verified military education,
				training, or service satisfies all or part of the experience or educational
				qualifications for licensure.
(6)
				The board shall inform the military service applicant in writing of the credit,
				if any, given toward an experience or educational qualification for licensure
				or explain why no credit was granted. The applicant may request reconsideration
				upon submission of additional documentation or information.
(7) A military service applicant who is
				aggrieved by the board's decision may request a contested case (administrative
				hearing) and may participate in a contested case by telephone. A request for a
				contested case shall be made within 30 days of issuance of the board's
				decision. No fees or costs shall be assessed against the military service
				applicant in connection with a contested case conducted pursuant to this
				subrule.
(8) The board shall grant
				or deny the military service application prior to ruling on the application for
				licensure. The applicant shall not be required to submit any fees in connection
				with the licensure application unless the board grants the military service
				application. If the board does not grant the military service application, the
				applicant may withdraw the licensure application or request that the licensure
				application be placed in pending status for up to one year or as mutually
				agreed. The withdrawal of a licensure application shall not preclude subsequent
				applications supported by additional documentation or information.
