Bill > HB1029

This bill extends the sunset date for the Oklahoma Funeral Board from July 1, 2024, to July 1, 2026. A sunset law is a provision that automatically terminates a government agency or law after a specific date unless it is renewed. The bill maintains the existing structure of the Oklahoma Funeral Board, which consists of seven members appointed by the Governor: five licensed professionals with at least seven consecutive years of experience in embalming and funeral directing, and two public members (ideally with one having a healthcare background). Board members are limited to two consecutive terms, serve five-year terms, and must be residents of Oklahoma with good moral character. The bill essentially continues the board's existence and operations for an additional two years, ensuring ongoing regulation of funeral services in the state without making substantial changes to the board's composition or responsibilities.
