Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL SERVICES

Division:

Division of Funeral, Cemetery, and Consumer Services

Chapter:

FUNERAL ESTABLISHMENTS

Overview

RULE:

69K-21.005

Display of Licenses.

PURPOSE:

This rulemaking action implements changes to Sections 497.380(15), 497.604(1), 497.376(2) and 497.602(5), Florida Statutes, as enacted by the Florida legislature in Chapter 2010-125, Laws of Florida. Prior to enactment of the changes referred to above, each funeral home and direct disposal establishment had to have each professional staffer post their license inside the establishment in a conspicuous location; the license had to be an original and there had to be a photo less than 2 years old attached to the license. The statutory changes allow the photo to be up to 6 years old, and, if a staffer member works at more than one location, they can post a copy of their license at the 2nd and subsequent locations (they do not need to obtain additional original licenses from the Division (which requires payment of a fee). Licensees thus save money and trouble due to less frequently having to replace photos, and not having to obtain extra originals of licenses issued to them. This rule was approved by the Board of Funeral, Cemetery, and Consumer Services on January 6, 2011.

SUMMARY:

Changes the allowable age of photos that must be attached to posted copies of specified establishments licensed under Chapter 497, F.S.
