Cemetery merchandise and funeral services sales; reduce and make optional daily fine by SoS for late preneed contract sales reports.

SB 2885 reduces the daily late filing penalty for preneed funeral service sales reports from $100 to $25 per day for preneed establishments (like funeral homes). It applies to annual reports due by March 31 each year, which detail prearranged funeral contracts sold. The bill directly affects businesses selling preneed funeral services by lowering their financial risk for late submissions. However, the bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not become law.
