(a) A person whose provisional license is cancelled
for failure to timely renew the license as described in Occupations
Code, §651.305 may apply for reinstatement no later than the
date the license would have expired if the license had been timely
renewed. The applicant must pay the renewal fee and penalty upon application.
The reinstated provisional license has the same expiration date as
if the license had been timely renewed.
(b) A person whose provisional license is cancelled
for failure to complete the program within the prescribed time may
apply for a new provisional license. As an applicant for a new license,
the person is required to submit to a new criminal background check
and retake and pass the State Mortuary Law Examination. Casework completed
under a previous license may not be counted toward the requirements
of the new license unless the applicant petitions the Executive Director
for a hardship exemption. The petition must demonstrate the personal
situation and reasons why the casework should count. If the Executive
Director determines that the previously completed casework should
not be counted under the new license, the Executive Director's decision
may be appealed, in writing, and the appeal will be considered at
the Commission's next regularly scheduled meeting.
