The bill amends the State License Fee Act of 1979 by updating the fees associated with licensure in the practice of mortuary science, operation of funeral establishments, and crematory facilities. It introduces new fees for various licenses, including a $1,500 fee for a crematory facility license, and adjusts the annual license fees for mortuary science and funeral establishments based on payment deadlines, with increasing amounts due after September 30, 2021, 2023, and 2025. Additionally, it establishes specific fees for examination processing and review, including a complete examination fee of $200 and a state examination fee of $50.

The bill also includes the insertion of new legal language that specifies the licensing structure and fees for resident trainees, embalmers, and funeral directors, while deleting outdated references to certain sections of the occupational code. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of two other specified bills from the 103rd Legislature.
