(a) Applications for original licensure as a cemetery authority, cemetery manager, or customer service employee authorized by this Act, or application for exemption from licensure as a cemetery authority, shall be made to the Department in writing on forms or electronically as prescribed by the Department, and shall be accompanied by the required fee that shall not be refundable. If a cemetery authority seeks to practice at more than one location, it shall meet all licensure requirements at each location as required by this Act and by rule, including submission of an application and fee. All applications shall contain information that, in the judgment of the Department, will enable the Department to pass on the qualifications of the applicant for a license under this Act.
     (b) (Blank).
     (c) After initial licensure, if any person comes to obtain at least 51% of the ownership over the licensed cemetery authority, then the cemetery authority shall have to apply for a new license and receive licensure in the required time as set by rule. The current license remains in effect until the Department takes action on the application for a new license.
     (d) (Blank).
