(a) Application for a burial agent license shall be made to the Board upon a form prescribed by the Board.

(b) Upon receipt of the application the Board shall promptly determine the general reputation and character of the applicant as to honesty, integrity, and responsibility. If the Board finds that the applicant would be a trustworthy person to hold a burial agent license and that the applicant otherwise qualifies under the provisions of this act, it shall issue a burial agent license to the applicant upon requisition by a burial association or associations.

(c) If the Board finds that the applicant does not qualify to hold a burial agent license, it shall so advise the applicant and at the same time forward to the applicant a full and complete statement of the reasons supporting such finding. The Board shall within fifteen (15) days after the applicant receives such statement grant a hearing on the matter upon receiving a written request from the applicant. The Board, at the conclusion of the hearing shall make its written findings, decision and order. Within twenty (20) days after being served with a copy of the written findings, decision and order, the applicant may appeal to the district court of Oklahoma County by filing with the clerk of the court a petition for review of the findings, decision and order, together with a certified copy of the proceedings of the Board. The court may review all the facts and, in disposing of any issue before it, may modify, affirm, or reverse the findings, decision and order of the Board, in whole or in part.
