SB95

Senate Bill 95 amends existing Arkansas law regarding the licensing and renewal procedures for embalmers and funeral directors. The bill updates language to clarify renewal deadlines and creates a more standardized framework for annual or biennial license renewals. It shifts the specific renewal deadline from a fixed December 31 date to the last day of the calendar year of expiration for individual licenses. Additionally, the bill clarifies the processes for handling delinquent licenses and the potential for reinstatement after prolonged expiration. The legislation aims to streamline administrative requirements for the State Board of Embalmers, Funeral Directors, Cemeteries, and Burial Services and their licensees.
