House Bill 1219 amends Occupations Code provisions relating to a provisional license to practice funeral directing or embalming. Among other provisions, the bill requires the Texas Funeral Service Commission to waive educational requirements for an applicant who is otherwise qualified for a provisional license, revises provisional license application requirements, and revises work requirements under the provisional license program. The bill establishes the term of a provisional license and provides for the renewal, cancellation, and reinstatement of the license and expiration of a reinstated license. The bill authorizes a person who does not complete the provisional license program within the prescribed period to reapply for a provisional license. The bill revises an eligibility requirement for a general funeral director's or embalmer's license relating to provisional license experience.
