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 imposed on licensees for violations of the governing laws or board rules.

Under the new provisions, the maximum civil penalty for such violations is increased from five hundred dollars ($500) to one thousand dollars ($1,000). This change aims to enhance compliance among licensees by imposing a more significant financial consequence for non-compliance.
