The bill amends the Occupational Code of Michigan, specifically targeting the regulations surrounding funeral directing and mortuary science. Key changes include the introduction of a new section, 1806c, which outlines the requirements for obtaining a license to practice funeral directing, such as completing a year of resident training and passing required examinations. Additionally, the bill mandates that holders of licenses for funeral directing or mortuary science must complete at least four hours of continuing education annually, with specific topics outlined to ensure relevant skills and knowledge are maintained.

The bill also includes various insertions and deletions to clarify definitions and requirements within the existing law. For instance, the term "individual" is used in place of "he or she" to promote gender neutrality, and the language surrounding the issuance of courtesy licenses has been updated to specify the conditions under which these licenses can be granted. Furthermore, the bill repeals section 1812 of the Occupational Code, indicating a shift in regulatory focus. Overall, these amendments aim to enhance the standards and practices within the funeral service industry in Michigan.
