The Secretary must waive the qualifying requirements because the prior term already proved competency.
The ordinary six-month waiver no longer applies on that ground.
The person may never be appointed again.
The person is treated the same as someone who reapplies before expiration.
Correct Answer
B. The ordinary six-month waiver no longer applies on that ground.
Detailed Explanation
The ordinary waiver window is limited. Executive Law §130 allows the Secretary of State to waive qualifying requirements when a former notary reapplies before expiration or within 6 months after expiration; 8 months is outside that ordinary window. In contrast, the statute separately creates a longer 1-year military-service waiver in the specified situations.
