The bill amends the law governing the State Board of Embalmers, Funeral Directors, Cemeteries, and Burial Services in Arkansas. Specifically, it updates the civil penalty for violations committed by licensees. The current maximum penalty of five hundred dollars ($500) is increased to one thousand dollars ($1,000) per violation.

This change aims to enhance compliance among licensees by imposing stricter financial consequences for non-compliance with the relevant laws and regulations. The amendment reflects the board's authority to suspend or revoke permits or licenses in addition to imposing the increased civil penalties.
