This rulemaking action implements changes to Section 497.380(7), Florida Statutes, as enacted by the Florida legislature in s. 22 of Chapter 2010-125, Laws of Florida. This proposed rule was approved by the Board of Funeral, Cemetery, and Consumer Services at its monthly meeting on January 6, 2011. Prior to said legislative change, a funeral director in charge (FDIC) of an establishment was only required to be licensed as a funeral director, whereas under the statutory amendment the FDIC must be licensed as a funeral director & embalmer. The rule is being amended to reflect this new statutory requirement.
