What is the FD/Embalmer License fee after July 1 of each calendar year?

In Oklahoma, the fee structure for funeral director and embalmer licenses has specific provisions that apply after July 1 of each calendar year. When a license is renewed or issued after this date, applicants are only required to pay half of the initial license fee. This policy is designed to accommodate those who seek licensure during the latter half of the year, providing a more equitable financial burden for new applicants and encouraging timely entry into the profession.

Understanding this fee structure helps ensure that professionals comply with state regulations while managing the costs associated with licensure. The other fee options, such as requiring a full initial license fee or no fee at all, do not align with the established regulations for this particular timeframe, thus clarifying that the half fee is the appropriate and correct answer.
