Which of the following is NOT a valid ground for revoking or refusing to renew an establishment license?

The choice regarding failure to obtain continuing competency credit hours as a ground for revoking or refusing to renew an establishment license is not valid because continuing education requirements are generally designed to ensure that licensed professionals stay current in their field. While it is crucial for individuals to maintain their education, failure to meet these requirements alone typically results in non-renewal but does not constitute a valid ground for revocation. Revocation usually involves more serious infractions that directly violate laws or ethical standards related to the practice.

On the other hand, conviction of a crime, false representation for license acquisition, and aiding an unlicensed person are all serious offenses that can undermine the integrity of the profession, warranting action such as revocation or refusal to renew a license. These actions reflect a breach of trust and legal standards inherent in maintaining a license to operate within the funeral service profession.
