Chamber Passed·5/28/26

Rhode Island H7920 reduces annual funeral home inspections from twice to once.

Rhode Island H7920 amends the General Laws to reduce the frequency of inspections for funeral establishments, branch offices, and crematories from twice a year to once a year. The bill also removes the practical exam requirement for out-of-state funeral directors and embalmers. Funeral directors and embalmers must still meet other licensure requirements, including passing the written examination of the national board. The changes take effect upon passage of the bill.
