HRS §441-31

License fees and two-year renewals

This section sets fees for cemetery and pre-need funeral licenses, including new, renewed, reinstated, or reissued ones, as decided by the director's rules. Renewal fees are due by December 31 of odd-numbered years. Not paying on time means losing the license, but you can get it back within a year by applying and paying the late fee plus 10% extra.

The statute, as written — Fees; biennial renewals

(a) The fee for a cemetery or pre-need funeral authority original license, for reinstatement of a suspended license, for biennial renewal of a license, and for the reissuance of a license when there has been a change in the licensee's name, shall be as provided in rules adopted by the director pursuant to chapter 91. (b) The biennial renewal fee shall be paid to the director on or before December 31 of each odd-numbered year. Failure, neglect, or refusal of any duly licensed cemetery or pre-need funeral authority to pay the biennial renewal fee shall constitute a forfeiture of its license. Any such license may be restored upon written application therefor within one year of such date and the payment of the delinquent fees plus an amount equal to ten per cent thereof.
