Bill > SB107

This bill authorizes the Alabama Board of Funeral Services to impose an administrative fee of up to $30 on funeral establishments for each funeral they arrange, starting June 1, 2026, to help cover administrative costs. It also increases various fees related to funeral establishment certificates of authority, including initial applications, renewals, branch registrations, and transfers, with the maximum fees for these now set at $500 for initial applications and renewals, and $500 for branch registrations and transfers. Furthermore, certificate holders are now required to file an annual statement detailing their preneed activities (preneed refers to arrangements made in advance for funeral or cemetery services), and the board is empowered to require multiple preneed activity reports annually if deemed necessary. Finally, the bill raises the initial application and renewal fees for individuals registering as preneed sales agents, with the maximum fee now set at $200.
