| Action Summary | The Board of Funeral Directors and Embalmers has adopted a recommendation of the Ad Hoc Committee on Funeral Interns that a Notice of Intended Regulatory Action be initiated to do the following: 1) amend 18VAC65-40-130 (A) to indicate training should be completed within not less than 18 months nor more than 60 months, and that the Board would only consider extensions for extenuating circumstances; 2) require supervisors to register for supervision of each funeral service intern with an expiration for the registration of 60 months or at the completion of the intern’s training, whichever occurs first in order to allow the Board to track active supervisors and make sure supervisors are in good standing; and 3) add a regulation requiring that interns be identified to the public as interns in titles, correspondence, and communications with the public. Subsequent to publication of a Notice of Periodic Review, the Ad Hoc Committee developed further recommendations for amendments for clarifications to the regulations and for consideration of a reduction in the number of internships hours currently required. |
