An Act amending the act of January 14, 1952 (1951 P.L.1898, No.522), known as the Funeral Director Law, further providing for application for license and qualifications of applicants.

HB 1222 amends Pennsylvania's Funeral Director Law by removing a requirement that applicants must be U.S. citizens. The bill changes qualification standards to require only that applicants are at least 21 years old and hold a Pennsylvania high school diploma or equivalent education. This change directly affects individuals seeking funeral director licenses in Pennsylvania who previously faced citizenship barriers. The amendment takes effect 60 days after enactment.
