An Act amending the act of January 14, 1952 (1951 P.L.1898, No.522), known as the Funeral Director Law, further providing for duties of board.
HB 1433 amends Pennsylvania's Funeral Director Law to update requirements for board inspectors. It reduces the required experience for inspectors from ten to five years and specifies they must be licensed funeral directors actively practicing. The bill grants inspectors authority to enter funeral homes for inspections, investigate complaints, and serve board documents. This directly affects the State Board of Funeral Directors and funeral homes operating in Pennsylvania, changing how the board oversees compliance with licensing regulations.
