All registered apprentice embalmers shall comply with the following requirements during their period of apprenticeship:

(a) Shall file a report of apprenticeship as follows:

(1) On or before January 15 of each year covering the period of apprenticeship ending as of December 31 preceding.

(2) Upon change of supervising embalmer or employer, or both.

(3) Upon completion of apprenticeship.

(4) Upon application for leave of absence for a period in excess of 15 days.

(5) Upon suspending apprenticeship to attend a mortuary science program.

(6) Upon application for reregistration after suspension or revocation of registration if a complete report of previous registration has not been filed.

(b) The information contained in the report shall consist of a concise summary of the work done by the apprentice during the period covered thereby, shall be verified by the apprentice and certified to as correct by his or her supervising embalmer and employer. Upon request of the bureau, each funeral director in whose establishment an apprenticeship is being, or has been, served, and each embalmer under whose instruction or supervision an apprenticeship is being or has been served, shall promptly file with the bureau a report or such other information as may be requested relating to the apprenticeship. Failure to comply with the request is cause for revocation by the bureau of the approval granted to the funeral director or embalmer for the training of apprentices and is also a cause for disciplinary action against the funeral director or embalmer.
