Occupations: mortuary science; crematory facility and operator licenses; provide for. Amends sec. 1851 of 1980 PA 299 (MCL 339.1851) & adds art. 18B. TIE BAR WITH: SB 1063'26

This bill establishes new licensing requirements for crematory facilities and operators in Michigan to regulate the practice of cremation. It creates a specific license for the facility itself, which requires a $100,000 surety bond, proof of environmental and fire safety approvals, and full disclosure of ownership details. Additionally, the bill mandates that individuals operating or managing a crematory must hold an operator license obtained through approved training and a character review. The legislation also grants the state department authority to inspect these facilities and revoke licenses if standards are not met or ownership changes occur.
