9.7   Continuing Competency Requirements.
m.   Exemptions.  The Board may grant exemptions from the Individual Assessment, development of the Personal Learning Plan and demonstration of Continuing Competency requirements set out in Board Rules 9.7(d) and (e) for the reasons specified herein. It is within the sole discretion of the Board to decide in particular cases whether good cause has been shown in order to grant exemptions. An electrician shall not be eligible for an exemption under this section for two (2) consecutive renewal periods except in the case of an exemption for military service. In the event an electrician cannot complete continuing competency requirements following an exemption, the electrician’s license will remain expired until the electrician meets all continuing competency requirements unless the electrician applies to place the license on inactive status. Requests for exemptions must be in writing and provide the following information:
1.	Evidence that during the renewal period prior to the expiration of the license, the electrician was working at a location outside of the country reasonably preventing completion of the continuing competency requirements;
2.	Evidence that the electrician was called to Federally funded active duty for more than one hundred twenty days for the purpose of serving in a war, emergency, or contingency during the renewal cycle for which the exemption is requested or within six months following the completion of service in a war, emergency, or contingency;
3.	Evidence and written explanation of any other cause citing in as much detail as possible the inability of the electrician to comply with the continuing competency requirements for the renewal period and why the license should remain in active status.
