The question is;
Do qualified instructors that held CHL's prior to Sept.1 need to apply for the duplicate license and pay the $25 fee so that the "qualified instructor" status can be added to the license or will the status update be added at renewal time?
If instructors do need to apply for the duplicate showing the status update, it needs to be done (as I read it) before the end of Sept. (within 30 days) since the law went into effect on Sept. 1.
I just emailed this queston to the DPS and will post when I get an answer. If anyone has already done that.....or if I've read the code wrong, or if you know the answer, please comment.
I think as Insturctors` that have the old license , we dont have to change our license to the new one if we dont want to , but you could if you wanted and pay the change fee. I think thats the way it was said when I was in Austin , could be wrong though....
