Bill > SF2154

This bill modifies the requirements for reciprocal licensure for mortuary science professionals in Minnesota, making the process more comprehensive and detailed. Previously, reciprocal licensing was based on determining if another jurisdiction's licensing requirements were substantially similar to Minnesota's. The new requirements now mandate that applicants: pass the Minnesota state licensing examination and the National Board Examination; submit specific documentation including educational credentials or proof of at least three years of professional practice; provide an affidavit confirming no pending investigations or restricted licenses in other jurisdictions; declare they have completed at least 25 funeral services, arrangements, and embalming cases; and submit proof of completing required continuing education hours within the past two years. The commissioner will then review the application and either grant a license valid for up to one calendar year or provide a written explanation for denial. This bill aims to ensure that out-of-state mortuary science professionals meet Minnesota's professional standards and have substantial practical experience before becoming licensed in the state.
