This bill amends the Funeral Director Law, originally enacted on January 14, 1952, by updating the qualifications required for applicants seeking a funeral director license. Specifically, it removes the requirement that applicants must be citizens of the United States and the stipulation that they must be at least twenty-one years of age. Instead, the focus is placed on the educational qualifications, allowing for a broader range of applicants who may meet the necessary educational standards set by the board.

The changes aim to enhance the accessibility of the profession while maintaining the essential educational requirements for licensure. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, reflecting the General Assembly's intent to modernize the licensing process for funeral directors in Pennsylvania.
