Bill > HF85

This bill modifies the requirements for mortuary science internships in Minnesota by clarifying and expanding the definition of an "intern" and the internship process. The bill allows individuals to begin their internship while enrolled in an American Board of Funeral Service Education-accredited mortuary science program, after completing the program, or after passing required examinations. Interns must now register with the commissioner of health and provide more detailed information, including the name of a primary and potentially an alternate supervising mortuary science licensee. The internship remains a minimum of 2,080 hours but can now be completed during enrollment, after graduation, or both. The bill also specifies that interns who have not completed coursework in embalming and restorative arts must be physically present with their supervising licensee when performing surgical procedures or embalming. Additionally, the bill streamlines the application process for initial licensure, requiring a comprehensive application with proof of education, examination scores, and a signed affidavit from the supervising licensee confirming internship completion and requirements.
