36.450 Automatic extension of license, permit, or certification held by members of
Armed Forces deployed overseas -- Inapplicability to operator's and driver's <br>licenses, motor vehicle registrations, and licenses to carry concealed deadly <br>weapon -- Renewal of concealed carry license by deployed service member.
(1) Except as provided for in subsections (5), (6), and (7) of this section,
notwithstanding any other provision of law, a license, permit, or certification held <br>by a member of the United States Armed Forces, including a member of the <br>Kentucky National Guard or Reserve on federal active duty, that expires while that <br>member is deployed overseas shall be extended until ninety (90) days after the end <br>of the deployment.
(2) The hiring, licensing, permitting, or certifying authority shall renew a license,
permit, or certification extended under subsection (1) of this section until the next <br>date that the license, permit, or certification expires or for the period that the <br>license, permit, or certification is normally issued, at no cost to the member, if that <br>member: <br>(a) Requests renewal of the license, permit, or certification within ninety (90)
days after the end of overseas deployment;
(b) Provides the hiring, licensing, permitting, or certifying authority with a copy
of the member's official orders ending the overseas deployment; and
(c) Meets all the requirements necessary for the renewal of the license, permit, or
certification, except that the member need not meet the requirements, if any, <br>that relate to continuing education or training.
(3) (a) The possession by a member specified in subsection (1) of this section of a
license, permit, or certification, together with orders for overseas deployment, <br>shall constitute a de facto extension of the license, permit, or certification until <br>its expiration pursuant to subsection (1) of this section or until the license, <br>permit, or certificate is renewed by the hiring, licensing, permitting, or <br>certifying authority, whichever occurs later.
(b) The possession of a license, permit, or certification, together with orders for
overseas deployment, shall constitute, during the period specified in paragraph <br>(a) of this subsection, a defense to any charge for possession of an expired <br>license, permit, or certification by the member specified in subsection (1) of <br>this section.
(4) In order to avoid confusion regarding the status of a license, permit, or certification,
a service member specified in subsection (1) of this section may provide the hiring, <br>licensing, permitting, or certifying authority a copy of the service member's <br>overseas deployment orders. Upon receipt of the service member's overseas <br>deployment orders, the receiving agency shall indicate the license as extended as <br>provided in this section in the agency's records. Failure of a service member to <br>provide overseas deployment information to the hiring, licensing, permitting, or <br>certifying authority shall have no effect on the automatic extension of the license, <br>permit, or certification or its renewal as provided in this section. No hiring, <br>licensing, permitting, or certifying agency shall take any adverse action with regard
Page 2 of 2
to the renewal of the license, permit, or certification of a service member who has <br>been the subject of an overseas deployment and who has not notified the agency of <br>the overseas deployment.
(5) This section shall not apply to a motor vehicle or motorcycle operator's license
issued under KRS Chapter 186, a motor vehicle registration issued under KRS <br>Chapter 186, or a commercial driver's license issued under KRS Chapter 281A.
(6) A license to carry a concealed deadly weapon issued pursuant to KRS 237.110 shall
not be extended beyond its expiration date. However, a service member specified in <br>subsection (1) of this section may: <br>(a) Renew a license issued pursuant to KRS 237.110 by requesting an application
form from the Department of Kentucky State Police by mail or facsimile, and <br>returning the completed application, photograph, and license fee to the sheriff <br>prior to the expiration date of the license. The request for the application may <br>be submitted not more than six (6) months prior to the expiration date of the <br>license. The Department of Kentucky State Police shall, if the applicant meets <br>the requirements of KRS 237.110, mail the new license directly to the <br>applicant at the active duty military address specified by the applicant and <br>shall send notification to the sheriff who sent in the application that the license <br>has been sent directly to the applicant. No extra charges shall be made for this <br>service; or
(b) Permit the license to expire and, upon return to the county of residence, apply
for renewal of the license in the same manner as if the license had been <br>renewed in a timely manner prior to its expiration without any extra fees or <br>penalty charges if the renewal is accomplished within one (1) year after the <br>end of the deployment.
(7) The Department of Kentucky State Police shall promulgate administrative
regulations to implement the provisions of subsection (6) of this section.
