Bill Summary

Amending the act of January 14, 1952 (1951 P.L.1898, No.522), entitled "An act to provide for the better protection of life and health of the citizens of this Commonwealth by requiring and regulating the examination, licensure and registration of persons and registration of corporations engaging in the care, preparation and disposition of the bodies of deceased persons, and providing penalties; providing for a State Board of Funeral Directors in the Department of State, and repealing other laws," further providing for duties of board.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Funeral Director Law by modifying the requirements for inspectors appointed by the State Board of Funeral Directors. Specifically, the bill reduces the required years of active professional experience for inspectors from ten years to five years. The inspectors, who must be licensed funeral directors, will continue to be appointed and serve at the pleasure of the board and will receive compensation set by the board with departmental approval. These inspectors retain their existing powers, which include serving legal processes, entering funeral directing businesses for inspections, investigating complaints, and conducting other board-directed investigations. The bill will take effect 60 days after its enactment, providing a standard transition period for implementation of the new, less restrictive experience requirement for board inspectors.
