This bill amends section 38-1424 of the Funeral Directing and Embalming Practice Act in Nebraska to allow nonlicensed funeral directors and embalmers to officiate at funeral ceremonies. The amendment introduces new legal language that explicitly permits this practice, thereby expanding the roles that nonlicensed individuals can play in funeral services. Additionally, the bill maintains existing provisions regarding disciplinary actions for licensed funeral directors and embalmers, including various offenses that could lead to penalties or revocation of credentials.

The bill also includes a repeal of the original section 38-1424, indicating a complete update to the legal framework governing funeral directing and embalming practices in Nebraska. This change reflects a shift towards greater flexibility in funeral service roles while still upholding the standards and regulations necessary to protect the integrity of the profession.
