The proposed bill amends section 38-1424 of the Funeral Directing and Embalming Practice Act in Nebraska. It introduces new provisions that allow a nonlicensed funeral director and embalmer to officiate at a funeral ceremony, thereby expanding the roles that individuals without formal licensing can play 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.

The bill also outlines various grounds for disciplinary action against credential holders, including solicitation of dead bodies, improper language in the presence of the deceased or their families, and other unethical practices. The original section 38-1424 is set to be repealed, indicating a significant update to the regulations governing funeral directing and embalming practices in Nebraska.
