The purpose of this hearing is to receive comments on the proposed changes to the following regulations:
Title 172 Chapter 67 – Funeral Directors and Embalmers
The proposed regulations remove all duplicative statutory language from the regulations and removes any repetitive regulatory language that is found in 172 NAC 10. The proposed regulations also reduce continuing education hours from 16 to 12 hours each biennial renewal and increases the frequency that the licensee is required to pass the jurisprudence examination to each renewal period rather than every 10 years as a condition of renewal.
Title 172 Chapter 68 – Funeral Establishments and Branch Establishments
The proposed regulations remove all duplicative statutory language from the regulations and removes any repetitive regulatory language that is found in 172 NAC 9. The proposed regulations also extends the timeframe for which a deceased human body may be retained in refrigeration before embalming, burial or cremation from 72 hours to 8 days, and removes the list of required equipment and tools to be in an embalming room from the regulations.
