Provide for assistant funeral directors under the Funeral Directing and Embalming Practice Act
LB 555 creates a new "assistant funeral director" role under Nebraska's Funeral Directing and Embalming Practice Act. To qualify, individuals must pass a Nebraska law exam and work under a licensed funeral director through a formal written agreement. Assistants may help with funeral arrangements, family consultations, and daily operations but cannot perform embalming. The bill updates licensing rules to include this role, repeals outdated sections, and adds disciplinary measures for violations like unauthorized embalming.
