     AN ACT relating to funeral establishments.
     Amend KRS 316.010, relating to embalmers and funeral directors, to add definitions for "direct burial," "embalming service establishment," "funeral," "full service funeral establishment," "memorial service," and "visitation and ceremonial funeral service establishment"; redefine "funeral establishment" to include full service funeral establishments, embalming service establishments, and visitation and ceremonial funeral service establishments; amend 316.125 to reclassify funeral establishment licenses issued by the board into separate licenses for each of the three types of funeral establishments; require establishment license applicants to designate the type of funeral establishment license sought in each application.

HB 232 - AMENDMENTS


     HCS - Retain original provisions, except reinstate that a funeral director is a person engaged in funeral directing "for profit"; create a new section of KRS Chapter 316 to allow an existing funeral establishment licensee to be licensed as one of the three new types of funeral establishments if the funeral establishment meets the definition of that type; direct that the new license as a full service funeral establishment, an embalming service establishment, or a visitation and ceremonial funeral service establishment is effective until the date that the funeral establishment's former license would have expired; require an existing funeral establishment granted the new type of license to apply for renewal as the same new type of establishment when license renewal is due; exempt an existing visitation and ceremonial funeral service establishment from the requirement of ownership in whole or in part by an affiliated full-service funeral establishment; state that the exemption will lapse if the visitation and ceremonial funeral service establishment is sold, ceases to exist, or engages in any activity that changes its license; make technical corrections.

     SCS - Retain original provisions, except make technical correction to definition of "funeral"; redefine "memorial service" to mean a ceremony or service at which there are no human remains as defined in KRS 367.97501(13), rather than only no body or body parts generally; direct that an existing funeral establishment that does not meet the definition of a full service funeral establishment or an embalming service establishment shall be granted a license as a visitation and ceremonial funeral service establishment; establish that the visitation and ceremonial funeral service establishment license is renewable as the same unless the board approves an application for a different type of license; make technical changes.
