(1)  wishes to continue to sell prepaid funeral benefits; and
(2)  demonstrates to the commissioner that the seller continues to meet the qualifications and satisfy the requirements that apply to an applicant for a permit.
(c)  A seller must renew the seller's permit as a restricted permit if the seller:
