Alabama Board of Funeral Services; board authorized to impose administrative fee on funeral establishments for each funeral arranged; initial application, renewal, branch registration, and transfer fees relating to a certificate of authority increased; certificate holder required to file an annual statement of preneed activities conducted; board authorized to require certificate holder to file multiple preneed activity reports annually; and initial application and renewal fees for registration as a preneed sales agent increased

SB 107 increases fees and adds reporting requirements for Alabama funeral service businesses. It authorizes a $30 administrative fee per funeral arranged (effective 2026), raises application/renewal fees for funeral establishment licenses from $198/$99 to $500 each, and requires annual reporting of preneed contract activities. Certificate holders must file annual statements on preneed sales and trust activities, with the board allowed to request additional reports. These changes directly affect funeral homes, funeral directors, and preneed sales agents by increasing costs and mandating more frequent compliance reporting. The bill focuses on regulatory oversight and funding for the Alabama Board of Funeral Services.
