Can't imagine that's what the legislature had in mind either.

Sigh.

What exactly would DPS have to gain by digging in their heels? If there is any leeway whatsoever I doubt it would be an issue.
That being said, if it were me I would go ahead and take the class.

Seriously? It's called a bureaucracy. It doesn't have to make sense, or gain anything for them.

The application is complete when all materials have been received by DPS - INCLUDING the CHL-100 form. So, no one can "complete" the application until after they have taken the class.

So, you're saying she can take the 10 hour class now, OR. the 4 hour class in Sept?

I have been contacted by a person who is interested in a class, but has asked me a question that I'm not sure about. (In fact, not sure anybody is sure about.)

She let her CHL expire in 2011, and has apparently already started the online process, and is getting her prints taken tomorrow. She originally contacted me requesting a "renewal class", which caused some amount of confusion.

Anyway, the question is, since the online process has already been started, and the fee paid, is there any reason she couldn't wait until after 9/1 in order to take the shorter class. I couldn't think of any reason this couldn't be done, provided the payment to DPS doesn't age past one-year. I just wasn't sure if an application started BEFORE 9/1 might require the 10 hour class even after 9/1.

Any ideas either way?
