State Board of Funeral Service; extend the repealer of.
SB 2078 extends the expiration date for Mississippi's State Board of Funeral Service regulations, specifically delaying the automatic repeal of Sections 73-11-41 through 73-11-73 in the Mississippi Code. It directly affects funeral service providers, the State Board of Funeral Service, and related licensing requirements by keeping existing rules in place. The bill does not change the substance of the regulations but prevents them from expiring, ensuring continuity in how funeral services, cremation, and licensing are governed. This procedural measure was enacted after passing both legislative chambers and receiving gubernatorial approval in March 2025.
