Senate Bill 988 establishes the Holly Combs Act and amends the Health and Safety Code and Occupations Code to establish that a person subject to regulation by the Texas Funeral Service Commission commits a prohibited practice by knowingly allowing an individual charged with a criminal homicide offense involving family violence against a decedent to control the disposition of the decedent's remains. The bill authorizes the commission to take disciplinary action or assess an administrative penalty against the regulated person.
