What condition would result in an application being considered abandoned?

An application would be considered abandoned if the applicant fails to meet the application requirements within 60 days of notification. This stipulation is in place to ensure that applications are processed in a timely manner, allowing for effective oversight and management of funeral service professionals.

When an applicant is notified that they have not met specific requirements, they are given a 60-day window to rectify these deficiencies. If they do not respond or fulfill the necessary criteria during this period, the application lapses, indicating that the applicant is no longer actively pursuing the license or permit in question. This promotes accountability and helps maintain the integrity of the licensing process within the funeral service industry.

The other options, while they may indicate lapses in communication or action on the part of the applicant, do not specifically meet the criteria for abandonment as clearly defined by the timeline and requirements established by Ohio Funeral Service Laws.
