    2. Exemptions, if any, to examinations, provided that the Commissioner shall not, under any circumstances, exempt himself or herself from any written examination requirements set forth in this Code section.
  3. An applicant for a license to act as an agent, limited subagent, surplus line broker, counselor, or adjuster who held a valid license to act as such which lapsed while the applicant was a member of any branch of the armed forces of the United States shall be granted a new license if application is made within a period of five years from the date of the expiration of the old license and proof satisfactory to the Commissioner is furnished that:
    1. The individual was a member of the armed forces of the United States at the time the previous license lapsed; and
    2. The individual's service in the armed forces of the United States was not terminated more than one year prior to the date of application for a new license.
