Bill Summary
Amend The South Carolina Code Of Laws By Amending Section 40-19-250, Relating To Continuing Education Hours Required For Licensees Of The Board Of Funeral Examiners, So As To Revise Physical Attendance Requirements For Continuing Education Instruction, And To Define "physical Attendance."
AI Summary
This bill amends existing South Carolina law regarding continuing education for licensees of the Board of Funeral Examiners by changing the requirements for physical attendance. Previously, at least two of the four required annual continuing education hours needed physical attendance, with the remaining two hours potentially available through correspondence. This bill clarifies that exactly two of the four required hours must involve "physical attendance," which is defined as being present in person at the location where the instruction is given, and explicitly excludes virtual, remote, or correspondence formats. The bill also specifies that the other two hours do not require physical attendance. This change is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and the Board of Funeral Examiners, which oversees funeral service professionals, is not expected to incur additional costs as they do not directly provide the continuing education.
