 3422. Funeral directing; licensing examinations; content; procedure.
  1.  The  commissioner  shall  determine  the  subjects of examination of
  applicants for license to practice  funeral  directing,  undertaking  or
  embalming,  and  the  scope, content and character, of such examinations
  which in any examination shall be the same for all candidates.
2. Examinations shall be held twice in each year.
3. A candidate who fails to attain a passing grade  on  his  licensing
  examination is entitled to a maximum of three re-examinations; provided,
  however,  that  if such candidate fails to attain a passing grade within
  three years after completion of  his  training,  he  must  requalify  in
  accordance  with  the  provisions of the public health law and rules and
  regulations promulgated thereunder existing and in force as of the  date
  of  subsequent  application  for  licensing  examination,  except that a
  satisfactorily  completed  required  course  of  study   need   not   be
  recompleted.  A  candidate  inducted into the armed forces of the United
  States during or  after  completion  of  training  may  after  honorable
  discharge  and  upon proper application as required by the department be
  eligible for an exemption with respect to time served in such service.
4. Following the close  of  every  written  examination  prepared  and
  administered  by  the department the questions submitted and the answers
  made thereto by the applicant together with a record stating  in  detail
  the  result  of  the examination for each candidate shall be kept by the
  department for a period of one year. These may be destroyed at  the  end
  of such period.
