An Act To Clarify Training Requirements for Funeral Service Providers
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1. 32 MRSA §1506, sub-§2, as enacted by PL 1991, c. 117, §1, is amended to read:
 
2. Requirements.   As a prerequisite to renewal on or after January 1, 1993 of any license subject to this subchapter, licensees must complete 12 hours of continuing education within 2 years prior to the date of renewal in programs or courses approved by the board. The board may, for good cause shown, grant an extension of time to any person to allow that person to comply with this subchapter. If the board, by rules adopted pursuant to subsection 5, requires annual training, approved training received within 30 days prior to the beginning of the licensing year or during the licensing year is sufficient to meet the training requirements for that licensing year, as long as the annual training requirement is met.
 
SUMMARY
This bill allows a person licensed for the practice of funeral service by the Department of Professional and Financial Regulation who is required to meet annual training requirements to fulfill those requirements by completing training no more than 30 days prior to the beginning of the licensing year for which that training is required. The person must continue to complete annual training.
