The
emeritus license shall entitle the holder to all the rights and
privileges of the license previously held by the licensee, except
that a licensee emeritus shall be exempt from all continuing
education requirements set forth in section three of this
article.
The annual license fee for an embalmer emeritus or funeral
director emeritus shall be no more than that required of a

directors and embalmers who are sixty-five or older an exemption
from continuing education requirements.
