Title 201 | Chapter 015 | Regulation 030E
During its 2021 regular session, the General Assembly passed House Bill 220 (attached), an amendment to KRS 316.030, to allow the Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors to establish fees through the promulgation of administrative regulations and amend KRS 316.030 to remove outdated language and processes. HB 220 was signed by the Governor on March 15, 2021. This emergency regulation is required to ensure the agency is able to be fiscally sound. HB 220 goes into effect June 29, 2021. The renewal period of individuals and establishments for the Kentucky Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors is July 1 through 31st. The Kentucky Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors initially filed this emergency regulation, along with an ordinary version of the same, on June 20, 2021; however, due to a change in personnel, the Board deferred those regulations each month and they will now expire, pursuant to KRS 13A.190(3), on March 27, 2022. In accordance with KRS 13A.190(5), this subsequent emergency regulation differs from its initial version because it makes changes to comply with the Board’s statutory authority and it makes numerous technical changes to comply with the formatting and drafting requirements of KRS Chapter 13A. This emergency regulation complies with the restrictions on filing subsequent administrative regulations established in KRS 13A.125 and it is necessary to prevent a lapse in the Board’s effective administrative regulations. This emergency regulation will be replaced by an ordinary regulation and will be submitted at the same time. The ordinary regulation is identical to the emergency.
