AI Generated Summary
This is a bill from Minnesota that proposes changes to how mortuary science licenses are issued to people who already have similar licenses from other states. The bill outlines specific requirements these individuals must meet to obtain a reciprocal license in Minnesota. These include:
- Passing the Minnesota state licensing exam and the National Board Examination, or another approved test.
- Providing specific documentation to prove their qualifications and work experience.
- Paying the required licensing fee.
- Proving they have worked as a licensed mortician in another jurisdiction for at least three years.
- Certifying that they are not under investigation in any other jurisdiction and do not have a restricted license.
- Showing evidence of having performed a certain number of services, funeral arrangements, and embalming cases.
- Completing the necessary continuing education hours within the last two years.
If all these conditions are met, the commissioner has the authority to issue or deny the license. The license would remain valid for up to one year. If denied, the applicant would receive a written explanation.
