House committee reports bill cutting mortuary inspector experience requirement from 10 to 5 years
Summary
The House Professional Licensure Committee reported House Bill 1433, which would amend the funeral director law to lower the years-of-experience required to serve as a mortuary inspector from 10 years to 5 years; the measure was reported out with no negative votes.
The House Professional Licensure Committee reported House Bill 1433, which would amend the funeral director law to lower the required years of experience to become a mortuary inspector from 10 years to 5 years. Chairman Burns called the bill up and committee staff Carrie explained the change.
The measure matters because it changes qualifications for mortuary inspectors, the personnel who inspect funeral homes and related facilities. Carrie, committee staff, said, "House bill 14 33 amends the funeral director law to lower the required years of experience to become a mortuary inspector from 10 years to 5 years." The committee recorded no negative votes and the bill was reported as committed from the committee.
Committee debate on the measure was limited. After the staff explanation the chair asked whether the committee would report the bill and, when there was no discussion and no negative votes, the chair announced the bill was reported from the Professional Licensure Committee. Senator Hutchinson was noted as having another commitment and was not present to speak about the bill.
The committee took no additional formal directions or referrals on implementation during the meeting. The bill now proceeds from the House Professional Licensure Committee as reported; the transcript records that the committee reported the bill "as committed" but does not specify a next hearing date or further legislative steps.
