This bill amends Section 31-2808 of the Idaho Code, which addresses the final disposition of dead human bodies. The amendment specifies that no coroner or person acting as a coroner, who is a licensed funeral director or mortician, or associated with any establishment engaged in such services, shall perform any funeral director or mortician services for bodies that require investigation by law. The bill modifies the language to include "owner, or proprietor" while deleting "or employee" from the previous text, thereby clarifying the roles that are prohibited from performing these services.

Additionally, the bill maintains exceptions for counties with only one licensed funeral establishment or those with populations under 20,000, where the provisions do not apply. The act declares an emergency, stating that it will take effect on July 1, 2025.
