The Secretary of State may waive the qualifying requirements if the application is made within one year after discharge under qualifying conditions.
The applicant is barred because military service never affects reappointment rules.
The applicant may be reappointed only if a county clerk requests it.
Correct Answer
B. The Secretary of State may waive the qualifying requirements if the application is made within one year after discharge under qualifying conditions.
AI Explanation
Military-service reappointment is a specific waiver rule. Executive Law §130 allows the Secretary of State to waive qualifying requirements when a former notary reapplies within one year after qualifying military discharge. Unlike the ordinary six-month reappointment window, this is a separate military-related exception.
