This section applies only to a unit that establishes a process under subsection (b) of this section. Each unit may establish a process to include a notation indicating veteran status on a license or public profile. An application for an initial license or renewal license issued by a unit shall allow the applicant to: request that a notation of the applicant’s veteran status be included on the license or public profile; and provide affirmative consent to being contacted by appropriate Executive Branch agencies regarding the applicant’s eligibility for State or federal veterans’ benefits. An applicant for an initial license or a renewal license shall submit to the unit one of the following as certification of veteran status: a certification of veteran status obtained from the Department of Veterans and Military Families in accordance with § 9–905 of the State Government Article; a federal Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD Form 214); or any other documentation acceptable to the unit. If an applicant for an initial license or a renewal license submits the documentation required under subsection (c)(2) of this section, the unit shall include a notation of veteran status on the license or public profile. In accordance with §§ 4–304 through 4–325 of the General Provisions Article and any other applicable law, and on request by an Executive Branch agency, a unit shall electronically transmit to the Executive Branch agency appropriate information about each applicant for an initial license or a renewal license who consents to being contacted under subsection (c)(1) of this section.
