Relates to authorizing the remote administration of the funeral director licensing examination
This bill authorizes the state to offer the funeral director licensing examination as a remote option using secure proctoring technology. It allows the Department of Health to administer the test online with identity verification and video monitoring, provided the security standards match those of in-person testing. The legislation ensures that in-person exam options will remain available and does not require the elimination of existing testing methods. If passed, these changes would take effect on January 1, 2027, aiming to make professional licensure more accessible while maintaining exam integrity.
