| To: | All House members |
| Subject: | Abolish Funeral Directors Remarriage Penalty |
| In the near future I will be introducing legislation to amend the Funeral Director’s Law to remove the prohibition on remarrying. Current law allows the widow or widower of a deceased funeral director to be issued a special license in order to continue an existing funeral practice, provided they employ a licensed funeral director to supervise the practice. The law authorizes this special license only as long as the widow or widower remains unmarried. When the widow or widower remarries they are prohibited from renewing their license, and would be required to sell their interest in the business. My legislation would remove the remarriage penalty language of the law to allow funeral directors to remarry without giving up their interest in the business. CS/cmc |
