(a) An applicant who has served in the Armed Forces of the United States may apply to the Board for recognition of the applicant's education, training, or experience received while serving as a member of the Armed Forces, which the Board shall consider, together with any education, training, and experience obtained outside of the Armed Forces, for determining substantial equivalence to the education, training, and experience required for licensure.

(b) The Board shall issue a license to the applicant, if the applicant presents evidence to the Board that:

1. The applicant has been honorably discharged from active military service;

2. The relevant education, training, and experience the applicant received in the military, together with any education, training, and experience obtained outside of the Armed Forces is substantially equivalent in scope and character to the education, training, and experience required for licensure under this subchapter.
i. An applicant seeking credit for military training and experience shall submit to the Board the applicant's Verification of Military Experience and Training (VMET) Document, DD Form 2586 or a successor form, as amended and supplemented.

ii. An applicant seeking credit for education courses and/or training completed while in the military shall submit to the Board a Joint Military Transcript of his or her education/training for a determination that the education courses and/or training completed are substantially equivalent in level, scope, and intent to the approved course of study as required for licensure under this subchapter. For the purpose of determining substantial equivalence of the applicant's military education and/or training, the Board shall consider only those education courses and/or training relevant to the practice of professional planning that have been evaluated by the American Council on Education for substantial equivalence to civilian postsecondary curricula; and

3. The applicant complies with all other requirements for licensure under this subchapter, including, but not limited to, successful completion of the professional planner examination.

(d) If the applicant's military education, training, or experience, or a portion thereof, is deemed not to be substantially equivalent to that required for licensure, the Board shall credit whatever portion of the military education, training, or experience that is substantially equivalent towards meeting the requirements under 13:41-5.3 for the issuance of the license.

(e) Satisfactory evidence of such education, training, or experience shall be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
