§ 308-a. Waiver of professional continuing education requirements. Notwithstanding any provision of general, special or local law, code or ordinance, or rule or regulation to the contrary, no person in military service, as defined in section three hundred one of this article, who was licensed, registered or certified to engage in a profession or occupation prior to entering into military service, shall be required to complete the continuing education requirements for such profession or occupation for any entire licensing, registration or certification period during which such military service occurs, and where such military service is partially within a licensing, registration or certification period, such continuing education requirements shall be reduced proportionately so that such individual is not required to complete such requirements while in military service.
