A bill for an act relating to the licensure of crematory operators and funeral establishments, and making penalties applicable.

Removed the Governor's signature page, date, and handwritten-style artifacts that were present in the signed version but not needed in the final enrolled text.

Deleted a duplicate, misaligned title block that appeared in the signed version.

Corrected minor spacing and punctuation inconsistencies to match the standard legislative format.

Added a specific definition for 'crematory operator' to clarify who is subject to the new rules.

Requires all crematory operator applicants to complete a specialized cremation course from a nationally recognized organization.

Updated application requirements to explicitly ask for the license numbers of all employed funeral directors and crematory operators.

Allows funeral directors to obtain a crematory operator license without separate training if they already hold a funeral director license.

Extended the board's authority to revoke, suspend, or discipline crematory operators for the same acts (like fraud or aiding illegal practice) that apply to funeral directors.

Clarified that paying commissions to secure business for a crematory operator is a simple misdemeanor, matching the penalty for funeral directors.
