Jurisprudence Examination for Funeral Directors
The bill requires a jurisprudence examination for applicants for licensure as a
funeral director that tests an applicant's knowledge of state law relating to funeral
directing. The bill does not otherwise affect current examination requirements.
Elimination of Degree Requirement for Sitting for Certain Exams
The bill eliminates certain prerequisite degree requirements to sit for an
examination for licensure by the Marriage and Family Therapy, Professional
Counseling, and Social Work Examining Board. The bill does not alter the education
requirements for licensure by that board, but, instead, allows applicants for
licensure to take the examination before completion of those education
requirements.
Because this bill directly or substantially affects the development,
construction, cost or availability of housing in this state, the Department of
Administration, as required by law, will prepare a report to be printed as an appendix
to this bill.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
