1. 1. Each license issued to a funeral director or embalmer under this chapter shall expire unless renewed on or before the renewal date. The board may, however, provide for the renewal of licenses held by individuals who are not actively engaged in practice and who are over sixty-five years of age without fee. The board shall renew any such license upon due application for renewal and upon the payment of the renewal fee, except that no license shall expire during the period when the holder thereof is actively engaged in the military service of the United States. Any licensee exempted from the renewal of his license because of military service shall, before beginning practice in this state after leaving military service, apply for and pay the renewal fee for the current licensing period.
2. 2. When renewing a funeral director's or embalmer's license the licensee shall specify the address of the funeral establishment at which he is practicing or proposes to practice and shall notify the board of any termination of his connection therewith. The licensee shall notify the board of any new employment or connection with a funeral establishment of a permanent nature. If the licensee is not employed at or connected with a funeral establishment he shall notify the board of his permanent address.
3. 3. The board shall not renew any license more than ninety days after the renewal date but shall notify the licensee that his license has expired. The holder of an expired license shall be issued a new license by the board within two years of the renewal date after he has paid delinquent renewal fees. Any license not renewed within two years shall be void.
4. 4. Failure of the licensee to receive the renewal notice shall not relieve the licensee of the duty to pay the renewal fee and renew his license.
