Bill > HB1119

This bill establishes a new state licensing process for associate funeral directors in New Hampshire, requiring individuals who want to work in this role to meet specific qualifications. Under the proposed law, to be an associate funeral director, a person must: 1) obtain an associate funeral director's license, 2) pass examinations approved by the board to demonstrate their competency and qualifications, and 3) receive the appropriate license from the office of professional licensure and certification. The bill also modifies the existing legal definition of "associate funeral director" by removing language about licensure in another state or potential employment/purchase of a funeral home, and instead simply referencing the new licensing requirements outlined in the bill. The legislation will take effect 60 days after its passage, providing time for the relevant state agencies to implement the new licensing framework and for potential associate funeral directors to comply with the new requirements.
