§ 308-b. Extension of license, certificate or registration.
Notwithstanding any other provision of general, special or local law,
code or ordinance, or rule or regulation to the contrary, military
personnel serving on active duty, who were licensed, certified or
registered to engage in a profession or occupation prior to being called
to active duty, and whose license, certificate or registration shall
expire during such period of active duty, shall have such license,
certificate or registration automatically extended for the period of
active duty and for twelve months after such military personnel have
been released from active duty, provided that with regard to professions
subject to title VIII of the education law, this section shall not apply
to limited permits or other credentials issued for a period of two
months or less and shall not extend the term of a limited permit that
expires for reasons other than the passage of time, including but not
limited to failure on a licensure examination, and further provided that
this section shall not be construed to permit any individual whose
authority to engage in a profession or occupation has been revoked or
suspended to engage in such profession or occupation.
