The bill amends section 38-1424 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, which pertains to the Funeral Directing and Embalming Practice Act. The key change allows a nonlicensed funeral director and embalmer to officiate at a funeral ceremony, expanding the roles that individuals without formal licensing can take on in funeral services. Additionally, the bill clarifies that licensed funeral directors and embalmers are permitted to engage in sales of funeral goods or services under the Burial Pre-Need Sale Act.

Furthermore, the bill outlines various grounds for disciplinary action against credential holders, including solicitation of dead bodies, use of indecent language, and taking undue advantage of patrons. It maintains the penalties for violations, which can result in a Class II misdemeanor. The original section 38-1424 is repealed as part of this legislative update.
