No license granted under this chapter shall be issued or renewed for a period
exceeding one (1) year. Every license and renewal shall expire on July 31 following
the date of its issuance unless sooner revoked, surrendered, or canceled.
A person may renew an embalmer's license or a funeral director's license by paying
to the board a renewal fee, not to exceed one hundred dollars (0), as set out in
administrative regulations promulgated by the board.
Except for the first licensure renewal following the issuance of an original license
by the board, as a prerequisite for license renewal, every Kentucky-licensed
embalmer and every Kentucky-licensed funeral director shall, during each licensure
year, attend a minimum of four (4) hours in a continuing education program or
programs approved by the board. Upon application to the board, the board may
exempt a licensee from the continuing education requirements of this section if the
applicant demonstrates that meeting the continuing education requirements of this
section would work an undue hardship because of disability, illness, or other clearly
mitigating circumstances, or if the applicant is seventy (70) years of age or older
and is not actively involved in embalming or funeral directing. The board may use a
portion of the annual license renewal fees for the purpose of contracting with
accredited educational institutions, professional organizations, or other qualified
persons to provide educational programs that meet this continuing education
requirement.
A licensed funeral establishment may renew its license by paying to the board a
renewal fee equal to the establishment license fee.
Any renewal not received by the board prior to July 31 will be assessed a late fee,
not to exceed the amount of the renewal fee, as set out in administrative regulations
promulgated by the board.
A license granted under this chapter shall not be transferable.
