True or False: If a falconry license has been expired for more than 5 years, one must take the exam again.

If a falconry license has been expired for more than five years, the requirement to retake the exam is based on the need to ensure that practitioners are up-to-date with current regulations, best practices, and safety protocols in falconry. Regulations change over time, and it is essential for individuals participating in the practice to have current knowledge and skills. The rebroadcast of the exam serves as a mechanism to assess an individual’s understanding of any new or revised laws, techniques, and ethics in the field.

This rule is designed to maintain high standards in falconry practice and ensure that all practitioners are competent and knowledgeable. Consequently, if a license is not renewed within the five-year period, the individual must undergo the examination process again to re-establish their qualifications and ability to engage in falconry activities responsibly and legally.
