The commissioner, in his or her discretion, and otherwise subject to the

thereunder prescribing the qualifications for funeral director license,
may endorse, without examination, a funeral director license issued by
the proper authorities of any other state or political subdivision of
the United States, upon payment of a fee of three hundred dollars, and
upon submission of evidence satisfactory to the commissioner:

(a) that such other state or political subdivision of the United
States maintains a system and standard of qualification and examination
for funeral director license, which is substantially equivalent to those
required in this state; and,

(b) that such other state or political subdivision of the United
States gives similar recognition and endorsement to licenses of this
state; and,

(c) that the applicant for such endorsement, since receiving his
license from such other state or political subdivision of the United
States, has been engaged in the practice of funeral directing for three
years or more in one or more of the states or political subdivisions of
the United States; and,

(d) that such applicant for endorsement is actually engaged in the
practice of funeral directing at the time of application for endorsement
and is in good and regular standing as a funeral director in each state
or political subdivision of the United States from which he has ever
received a funeral director license.
