Mortuary science internship requirements modified.
HF 85 modifies Minnesota's requirements for mortuary science internships. It establishes a minimum 2,080-hour internship period (within three years) under direct supervision of a licensed practitioner, requiring interns to complete 25 case reports in embalming, funeral arrangements, and services. The bill also allows up to 520 hours to be waived for students completing clinical training through the University of Minnesota or approved programs. These changes directly affect mortuary science students seeking licensure and licensed practitioners serving as supervisors.
