HB4483

Modernizes funeral service licensure and administration in West Virginia.

West Virginia HB4483 modernizes funeral service licensure and administration by updating apprenticeship and continuing-education standards, clarifying definitions and credentials, and providing for rulemaking and transitional provisions. The bill requires applicants for a funeral service license to be at least 18 years old, a U.S. citizen or eligible for U.S. employment, have a high school diploma, complete 60 semester hours or 90 quarter hours of college or university credits and mortuary school, and pay the appropriate fees.
