Occupations: mortuary science; references to article 18 of the occupational code in the prepaid funeral and cemetery sales act; revise. Amends secs. 4, 6, 11, 12, 15 & 21 of 1986 PA 255 (MCL 328.214 et seq.). TIE BAR WITH: SB 1060'26

SB 1066 amends the Prepaid Funeral and Cemetery Sales Act to update definitions and registration requirements for businesses selling prepaid funeral plans in Michigan. The bill clarifies terms such as "funeral services" to explicitly include mortuary science licensees and revises the definition of "merchandise" to specify which items are covered under the law. It also sets specific fees and renewal procedures for companies that must register with the state department to legally offer these contracts. By updating these sections, the legislation ensures that regulatory language remains current while maintaining oversight of funds held by escrow agents.
