     (a) Pay the appropriate renewal fees;

     (b) Provide a list of his or her employment during the time the license was inactive;

     (g) Satisfy the Secretary-Treasurer that he or she is of good moral character; and

     (h) Provide any other information which the Secretary-Treasurer may require,
