HB 2172 extends the Oklahoma Funeral Board's operation until July 1, 2029, instead of expiring in 2024, by amending its sunset provision. The bill requires five board members to be actively licensed embalmers or funeral directors with at least seven years of practice in Oklahoma, and two public members (including one from healthcare). It updates all statutes to refer to the "Oklahoma Funeral Board" instead of the "Oklahoma State Board of Embalmers." The bill takes effect July 1, 2025, as an emergency measure.
