However, notwithstanding any other provision of this Chapter, nothing in this Paragraph requires the former licensee or registrant to complete any of the following education otherwise required by R.S. 37:1437 if the licensee or registrant reapplies for that license or registration on or before December thirty-first of the year following the expiration date of his expired license or registration:
