Don't see much wiggle room for interpretation in the above statement.

Me neither, but I am not a lawyer, and I don't work for DPS. And I don't have a crystal ball, or any special inside information regarding why they do the things they do, or how they justify them.

So you are saying that DPS is ignoring/violating the law?

I am saying they might be interpreting it differently than we would have expected.

Jumping Frog - please do not make absolute statements about things that you do not know. DPS has given conflicting information to both instructors and applicants. And, there are several examples of expired renewals who have, indeed, been able to renew their CHL's after September 1.

Tikibloke - you need to contact DPS, as they seem to be handling this on a "case by case" basis.

And do it before Sept 1. After that, there is no grace period for expired licenses. You would have to complete the original application.
