Bill > HB1015

This bill increases licensure fees for various professional licenses and establishments related to funeral services and cremation in South Dakota. The bill amends several existing statutes to allow the State Board of Funeral Service to charge higher maximum fees for different types of licenses. Specifically, the bill maintains the current maximum fee of $225 for an annual funeral service license renewal and a funeral director license, and keeps the maximum fee of $350 for funeral establishment license applications and renewals. The bill also updates regulations for crematory licenses, setting a maximum initial and renewal licensing fee of $350. Additionally, the bill requires the State Board of Funeral Service to update its administrative rules by September 30, 2025, to reflect these fee structures. These fee increases will help cover the costs of licensing, inspections, and regulatory oversight of funeral service and cremation businesses in the state, ensuring proper management and compliance with state laws and regulations.
