H2183: FUNERAL ESCORTS; FUNERAL BOARD LICENSURE   [Oppose]

Responsibility for licensing funeral escort vehicles and military escort vehicles is transferred to the State Board of Funeral Directors and Embalmers, from the sheriff in each county. The Board is required to license funeral escort vehicles, military escort vehicles, drivers of funeral escort vehicles and drivers of military escort vehicles as prescribed by the Board by rule. The Board is authorized to establish and collect a fee for licensing funeral escort vehicles, military escort vehicles, drivers of funeral escort vehicles and drivers of military escort vehicles in an amount to be determined by the Board. A motor vehicle liability insurance policy for a funeral escort business or for a nonprofit corporation that provides military processions is required to list the State Board of Funeral Directors as the certificate holder on the certificate of liability insurance.

The Dept is required to annually adjust and publish the threshold amount by the percentage change in the all items component of the consumer price index for all urban consumers of the U.S. Department of Labor.

An insurer is prohibited from failing to renew more than 0.5 percent of its policies annually under these provisions. More.
