SB 324 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Attorney General rule relating to administration of preneed burial contracts

This bill (SB 324) authorizes West Virginia's Attorney General to create and enforce a rule governing preneed burial contracts, which are agreements made in advance for future funeral services. The key provision adds a sunset clause requiring the rule to expire automatically on August 1, 2036. It directly affects consumers who purchase preneed burial contracts and funeral providers who must comply with the rule. The bill does not change the substance of burial contract rules but updates the rule-making authority with a defined expiration date.
