Bill > HB4289

This bill authorizes the West Virginia Board of Funeral Service Examiners to officially adopt a legislative rule, which is a formal regulation that has the force of law. This rule, specifically identified as "6 CSR 01," pertains to various aspects of the funeral service profession, including requirements for funeral directors (individuals licensed to arrange and direct funerals), embalmers (those who prepare bodies for burial or cremation), apprentices (individuals training under licensed professionals), courtesy card holders (out-of-state professionals temporarily working in West Virginia), and funeral establishments (businesses that provide funeral services). The bill confirms that a version of this rule, filed on July 25, 2025, and subsequently modified on September 10, 2025, to address concerns raised by the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee, is now officially permitted under the authority granted by West Virginia Code §30-6-6.
