(a) Every burial association desiring to appoint a person as its agent shall apply to the Board, upon a requisition form prescribed by the Board, for a burial agent license for said person. The requisition of the burial association shall be accompanied by a burial agent license fee of Ten Dollars ($10.00) for such agent.
(b) If the person designated by the association has qualified to hold a burial agent license, the Board shall issue a burial agent license to such person. The burial agent license issued by the Board shall be in the form prescribed by the Board, provided the same may be of a continuous form, and shall recite that the agent is authorized to engage in the business as a burial agent for said burial association. Every burial agent license shall expire on the following June 30th, unless sooner renewed.
(c) Prior to the 30th day of June of each year every burial association shall file with the Board, upon a requisition form, an alphabetical list of all its agents whose burial agent licenses it desires to renew and at the same time pay to the Board a renewal license fee of Ten Dollars ($10.00) for each agent.
(d) Upon the renewal of each burial agent license the Board shall prepare, issue and forward a renewal receipt to the association which shall forward the same to the agent. The renewal receipt shall evidence the renewal of the burial agent license and shall at all times be in the custody of the agent. Every burial agent license for which there has been filed a renewal requisition and license fee paid prior to its expiration date, shall continue in force and effect until a renewal receipt has been issued or the agent and the association have received notice from the Board that it has specifically refused to renew the burial agent license as hereinafter provided.
(e) The burial agent license fee shall be paid by the association making the requisition and such association shall not, directly or indirectly, charge the same to the agent.
