This bill allows agents who guarantee the price of all merchandise and services for preneed burial contracts, which are agreements made in advance for funeral services and related items, to collect an administrative fee of up to 15% of the total contract payments. This fee can only be collected once per contract and not until all installment payments have been made. The bill also clarifies that this administrative fee, when applied to a fully paid contract, is exempt from refund requirements, and it applies to contracts made on or after the bill's effective date.
