				Persons desiring licensure to become an intern embalmer shall apply for a
				license by completing Form DFS-N1-1708, "Application for Embalmer Intern
				License," which is incorporated by reference in Rule
				 69K-1.001, F.A.C., and filing it
				with the Division. A one-hundred dollar ($100.00) nonrefundable application fee
				and an unlicensed activity fee of five dollars ($5.00) shall accompany the
				form. Such application shall demonstrate that the applicant for registration

				 497.368(1)(b)-(e),

(2) Embalmer
				internship training shall be received at an approved training agency under the
				direct supervision of a Florida licensed embalmer in good standing who shall
				certify by quarterly reports the training activities engaged in by the intern
				during the preceding calendar quarter. Direct supervision means responsible
				supervision and control, with the licensed embalmer providing both initial
				directions as well as periodic inspection of the embalming service. The
				supervising embalmer shall be physically present or on the premises at all
				times when the intern is performing the services. If during the course of his
				internship training the embalmer intern receives instructions from more than
				one licensed Florida embalmer, each instructor shall be required to certify the
				training, giving the dates during which instruction was given and the training
				activities engaged in by the intern under his supervision.
(3) One year of substantially full-time
				embalmer internship training shall be required to qualify the intern embalmer
				for licensure as an embalmer. Full-time shall be deemed and construed to mean
				training comprising of at least 40 hours a week for at least 50 weeks to be
				completed within a twelve month period.
(4) A person whose first registration for
				embalmer internship training is filed after graduation from mortuary college
				shall be permitted to serve in embalmer internship capacity only until he
				completes the one year of substantially full-time embalmer internship and until
				the date the results of the immediately subsequent licensure examination are
				mailed to applicants for licensure.
(5) If an intern fails to complete the intern
				training as stated in subsections (3) and (4), because of illness or personal
				injury, the Board shall permit the intern to reregister only for the period of
				time required to complete the one year of training.
(6) A member of the United States Armed
				Forces, such member's spouse, and a veteran of the United States Armed Forces
				who separated from service within 2 years preceding the application for
				licensure are exempt from the application fee and the initial unlicensed
				activity fee. The military record must show such member is currently in good
				standing or such veteran was honorably discharged.
