This rulemaking action implements changes to Chapter 497, Florida Statutes, enacted by the Florida legislature in Chapter 2010-125, Laws of Florida, that are intended to reduce the cost and make it easier to obtain a funeral director-only license. The proposed rule specifies criteria that will be used by the licensing authority to approving or disapproves courses of study in funeral service arts and mortuary science offered in satisfaction of licensure requirements, and provides procedures and a form by which schools may apply and obtain approval of the course of study they desire to offer.
