Senate Bill 864 amends the Occupations Code to revise the terms of employment for a provisional license holder engaged in learning the practice of funeral directing or embalming. The bill authorizes the Texas Funeral Service Commission, in determining whether to charge a funeral director in charge with a violation based on conduct for which a licensed employee of the funeral establishment was directly responsible, to consider the nature and seriousness of the violation, the extent to which the licensed employee was under direct supervision of the funeral director in charge or another person at the time the licensed employee engaged in the conduct, and the causal connection between the supervision of the licensed employee by the funeral director in charge and the conduct engaged in by the licensed employee that is the basis of the violation.
