BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONS CODE
SECTION 7725-7729
7725. A license issued under this chapter shall expire each year on the last day of the month in which the license was originally issued. To renew an unexpired license, the licenseholder shall on or before the date on which it would otherwise expire, apply for renewal on a form prescribed by the bureau, and pay the renewal fee prescribed by this chapter. The bureau shall mail to each licensed funeral establishment, funeral director, and embalmer, addressed to him or her at his or her address of record, a notice that a renewal fee is due and payable. 7725.2. Except as otherwise provided in this article, a license that has expired may be renewed at any time within five years after its expiration on filing of an application for renewal on a form prescribed by the bureau and payment of all accrued and unpaid renewal fees. If the license is not renewed within 30 days after its expiration the licensee, as a condition precedent to renewal, shall also pay the delinquency fee prescribed by this chapter. Renewal under this section shall be effective on the date on which the application is filed, on the date on which all renewal fees are paid, or on the date on which the delinquency fee, if any, is paid, whichever last occurs. If so renewed, the license shall continue in effect through the date provided in Section 7725 that next occurs after the effective date of the renewal, when it shall expire if it is not again renewed. If a license is not renewed within one year following its expiration, the bureau may require as a condition of renewal that the holder of the license pass an examination on the appropriate subjects provided by this chapter. 7725.3. A suspended license is subject to expiration and shall be renewed as provided in this article, but such renewal does not entitle the holder of the license, while it remains suspended and until it is reinstated, to engage in the activity to which the license relates, or in any other activity or conduct in violation of the order or judgment by which it was suspended. 7725.4. A revoked license is subject to expiration as provided in this article, but it may not be renewed. If it is reinstated after its expiration, the holder of the license, as a condition precedent to its reinstatement, shall pay a reinstatement fee in an amount equal to the renewal fee in effect on the last regular renewal date before the date on which it is reinstated plus the delinquency fee, if any, accrued at the time of its revocation. 7725.5. A license that is not renewed within five years after its expiration may not be renewed, restored, reissued, or reinstated thereafter. The holder of the expired license may obtain a new license only if the holder pays all of the fees, and meets all of the requirements, other than requirements relating to education, set forth in this chapter for obtaining an original license, except that the bureau may issue a new license to the holder without examination if the holder establishes to the bureau's satisfaction that, with due regard for the public interest, the holder is qualified to engage in the activity in which the holder again seeks to be licensed. The bureau may, by appropriate regulation, provide for the waiver or refund of all or any part of the application fee in those cases in which a license is issued without examination under this section. The provisions of this section do not apply to certificates of apprenticeship. 7727. On or before the 10th day of each month, the department shall pay into the State Treasury and report to the State Controller all the fees received for the bureau. The fees shall be received by the State Treasurer and placed in the State Funeral Directors and Embalmers Fund, which fund is available for expenditures necessary for the proper administration of this chapter. 7729. The amount of the fees prescribed by this chapter shall be fixed according to the following schedule with the minimum amount specified being the amount fixed on January 1, 1988.
