Relating to the liability of a funeral service provider for mental anguish damages.

HB 4101 limits funeral service providers' liability for mental anguish damages. It applies only to claimants (like family members with legal rights to a body or remains) seeking emotional distress damages due to mishandled remains. Providers are not liable unless claimants prove three specific conditions: the remains were mishandled, reasonable practices would have prevented it, and the claimant suffered severe emotional distress from their close relationship with the deceased. This creates a clear legal standard for such claims, restricting liability to cases meeting all three criteria.
