HB 4322 amends Oklahoma's Funeral Services Licensing Act to require that individuals designated as "funeral director in charge" of a funeral establishment, commercial embalming establishment, or crematory must hold dual licenses as both a funeral director and an embalmer. This change directly affects managers of these facilities, mandating they meet qualifications for both roles instead of only one. The bill updates licensing requirements in Section 396.3, specifying that dual licensure is now necessary for the "in charge" position, while still allowing separate licenses for funeral directors who do not perform embalming. The policy focuses on standardizing qualifications for leadership roles in the funeral services industry.
