HB 3260 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Professions and occupations; funeral licensing; continuing education; effective date.

HB 3260 requires Oklahoma funeral service licensees to complete approved continuing education courses to renew or reactivate their licenses. Beginning November 1, 2026, each licensee must submit proof of 12 months of approved continuing education hours, set by the Oklahoma Funeral Board, which will maintain a list of approved courses from the Board, Oklahoma Funeral Directors Association, or Academy of Professional Funeral Service Practice. This applies to active licensees but excludes those on inactive status, nonresident licensees not practicing in Oklahoma, or board-exempt categories. The bill updates existing licensing rules to ensure ongoing professional training for funeral service professionals in the state.
