licensed embalmer or funeral director is entitled
to be issued a license as an emeritus embalmer or funeral

There is no charge for the emeritus license. The
emeritus license entitles the holder to all the rights and
privileges of the license previously held by the licensee, except
the emeritus license has no renewal requirement, and an emeritus
licensee is exempt from the continuing education requirements
contained in section three of this article.
NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to provide funeral
directors and embalmers who are sixty-five or older an exemption
from license renewal fees and continuing education requirements.
This section is new; therefore, strike-throughs and
underscoring have been omitted.
