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 ($100),
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 attend a minimum of twelve (12) hours every two (2) years in a continuing
education program or programs approved by the board. Of these twelve (12)
hours, a minimum of six (6) hours shall be attained from programs attended in
a live, interactive, in-person format. 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.
