HB 2035 amends Oklahoma's Funeral Services Licensing Act by adding detailed definitions for key terms related to funeral services, embalming, and cremation. It clarifies terms like "funeral director," "embalmer," "funeral establishment," "apprentice," "alkaline hydrolysis," and "transportation protection agreement" (which exempts certain transportation coordination from standard regulations). The bill directly affects funeral professionals, embalmers, crematories, and the Oklahoma Funeral Board by standardizing terminology for licensing, oversight, and compliance. It takes effect November 1, 2025, and does not create new requirements - only defines existing regulatory terms.
