By law this is only true if:
- You didn't have an FID prior to 1998, or
- You took a course that was NOT certified for LTC
With that said, many chiefs will require a new course just to be as big a PITA (and cost you significant $$) as possible. By law they aren't supposed to be able to do this, but they can use that as a means of assessing "suitability" and force you to do it . . . unless you hire an attorney (that will probably cost you 2-4x what the course cost) to fight them.

This issue generally - and a "range test" particularly - is presently before the Brookline District Court. Regardless of what that court decides, an appeal is likely.
