Occupations: mortuary science; references to article 18 of the occupational code cemetery regulation act; revise. Amends sec. 18 of 1968 PA 251 (MCL 456.538). TIE BAR WITH: SB 1060'26

This bill amends the Michigan Cemetery Regulation Act to update the list of violations that allow the state commissioner to deny permits, revoke registrations, or take disciplinary action against cemetery operators. The key change involves clarifying and correcting references to existing laws, specifically ensuring that violations of Article 18 of the Occupational Code are properly listed as grounds for enforcement. It also retains provisions allowing the commissioner to impose fines of up to $5,000 for each violation and requires operators to fulfill existing contracts even if their permit is suspended or revoked. The legislation is tied to another bill, SB 1060, and will not take effect unless that companion bill is also passed into law.
