A | 4 | | cemetery authority claiming a full exemption shall be subject | 5 | | to Sections 10-40, 10-55, and 10-60 of this Act. A cemetery | 6 | | authority that performs activities that would disqualify it | 7 | | from a full exemption is required to apply for licensure within | 8 | | one year following the date on which its activities would | 9 | | disqualify it for a full exemption.

If a cemetery authority does not | 15 | | qualify for a full exemption and (1) engages in 25 or fewer | 16 | | interments, inurnments, or entombments of human remains for | 17 | | each of the preceding 2 calendar years, (2) operates as a | 18 | | public cemetery, or (3) operates as a religious cemetery, then | 19 | | the cemetery authority is partially exempt from this Act but | 20 | | shall be required to comply with Sections 10-23, 10-40, 10-55, | 21 | | 10-60, subsections (a), (b), (b-5), (c), (d), and (h) of | 22 | | Section 20-5, Sections 20-6, 20-8, 20-10, 20-12, 20-13, 20-30, | 23 | | 20-35, 20-40, 25-3, and 25-120, and Article 35 of this Act. | 24 | | Cemetery authorities claiming a partial exemption shall apply | 25 | | for the partial exemption as provided in Section 10-20 of this | 26 | | Act.

A cemetery authority that maintains a | 4 | | partial exemption that fails to timely apply for licensure | 5 | | shall be deemed to have engaged in unlicensed practice and | 6 | | shall be subject to discipline in accordance with Article 25 of | 7 | | this Act.
