AI Summary
This bill amends a Georgia law concerning the requirements for funeral establishments, specifically changing the number of caskets they must keep on hand. Previously, funeral establishments were required to maintain at least eight caskets at each of their locations, but this bill reduces that requirement to just one casket. The bill also makes minor technical changes to the language regarding the preparation room's flooring and walls, specifying "nonporous, sanitary flooring" and "nonporous, sanitary...walls" and clarifies that the display room must contain actual caskets or models if all caskets are available for purchase or can be delivered within 24 hours. The purpose of these changes is to revise the minimum stock requirement for funeral caskets.
