KY Rev Stat § 316.140 (1996 through Reg Sess) What's This?
316.140 Application for Kentucky license by one licensed out of state -- Courtesy
card.
(1)
(2)
Any person holding an embalmer's or a funeral director's license issued in another
state or federal district may obtain a Kentucky embalmer's or a Kentucky funeral
director's license if the board finds that the person, before or after obtaining a
license in another state or federal district, has met the same or similar requirements
for a license as set out in KRS 316.030 and pays to the board a fee equal to the
license renewal fee.
The board may issue an annual courtesy card to a licensed funeral director or
licensed embalmer from another state that has reciprocal laws with Kentucky upon
application and payment by the funeral director or embalmer of a fee prescribed by
the board in administrative regulations promulgated under KRS Chapter 13A. The
application shall be approved by the board, at its discretion. A holder of a courtesy
card shall not be permitted to open or operate a place of business for the purpose of
conducting funerals or embalming bodies in Kentucky nor shall he or she be
permitted to maintain an office in this state. The requirement in KRS 316.030 that
all Kentucky-licensed embalmers or funeral directors who practice in Kentucky
shall practice from a funeral establishment that is licensed to operate under the
provisions of this chapter shall not apply to the holder of a courtesy card. A
violation of this section or any other section of this chapter shall be sufficient cause
for the board to revoke or cancel the courtesy card of the violator and to pursue
other remedies provided by this chapter.

Legislative Research Commission Note (7/15/96). In codifying the changes made to
this statute by 1996 Ky. Acts ch. 149, sec. 5, a citation to KRS 316.030 (Section 2 of
the Act) has been substituted for the Act's reference to 316.125 (Section 3 of the Act)
pursuant to KRS 7.136(1)(h). It is clear from context that the subject matter being
treated here relates to the Section 2 of the Act, not Section 3.
