Funeral services licensing; permitting sales of merchandise without license. Effective date.

This bill amends Oklahoma's Funeral Services Licensing Act to clarify that businesses selling funeral merchandise (such as burial supplies and equipment) without providing other funeral services - like embalming, directing funerals, or operating a funeral establishment - are exempt from licensing requirements. The change specifically revises the definition of "funeral service merchandise" to exclude these limited sellers from the law's scope. This means retailers focused solely on selling such items, without offering additional funeral services, will no longer need a license under the current regulations. The amendment takes effect on November 1, 2025.
