3100 Board of Funeral Services

FINAL

ORDER

The Board of Funeral Services (“the Board”) was established to protect the general public from unsafe practices and from occupational practices which tend to reduce competition or fix the price of services rendered by the profession under its purview. The Board was further established to maintain minimum standards of practitioner competence in the delivery of services to the public. The Board is authorized, by 24 Del.C. §3105(a)(1),to make, adopt, amend and repeal regulations as necessary to effectuate those objectives.

Pursuant to 24 Del.C. §3105(a)(1), the Board has proposed revisions to Rule 9.0, which addresses continuing education requirements. Rule 9.2.1 is amended to specify that licensed funeral directors who are 65 or older are exempt from the continuing education requirements. This amendment serves to implement and clarify the language set forth at 24 Del.C. §3105(a)(10). Section 3105(a)(10) states that the Board has the authority to establish continuing education standards for practitioners under 65. (emphasis supplied).

Rule 9.3.1 is amended to include language to the effect that the Board has the power to waive continuing education requirements based on economic hardship. This provision is explicitly stated in 24 Del.C. §3105(a)(10). Rule 9.3.1 is further amended to clarify that any request for a waiver of the continuing education requirements must be made no later than 60 days prior to the license renewal date.

Pursuant to 29 Del.C. §10115, notice of the public hearing and a copy of the proposed regulatory changes was published in the Delaware Register of Regulations, Volume 12, Issue 5 on November 1, 2008.

Summary of the Evidence and Information Submitted

A public hearing on the proposed rule revisions was held on December 3, 2008. At the hearing, Mr. Duwayne Casini, President of the Delaware Funeral Directors Association, stated that he supported the change the rules clarifying that licensees over 65 are exempt from the continuing education requirements. No written comments were received.

Findings of Fact

The proposed amendments to the rules and regulations serve to clarify provisions set forth in the relevant statutory provisions. Thus, the revisions are necessary to implement the legislative intent underlying the Board’s licensing law.

Decision and Effective Date

The Board hereby adopts the proposed amendments to the rules and regulations to be effective 10 days following final publication of this Order in the Register of Regulations.

Text and Citation

The text of the revised rules and regulations remains as published in the Delaware Register of Regulations, Volume 12, Issue 5 on November 1, 2008.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 20th day of February 2009 by the Board of Funeral Services.

10.6.6 Compliance by the regulated professional with any terms or restrictions placed on professional practice as outlined in the agreement under the Voluntary Treatment Option.

10.8 The participating Board's chairperson, his/her designate or designates or the Director of the Division of Professional Regulation or his/her designate may, in consultation with the treating professional at any time during the Voluntary Treatment Option, restrict the practice of a chemically dependent or impaired professional if such action is deemed necessary to protect the public health, welfare or safety.

10.9 If practice is restricted, the regulated professional may apply for unrestricted licensure upon completion of the program.

10.10 Failure to enter into such agreement or to comply with the terms and make satisfactory progress in the treatment program shall disqualify the regulated professional from the provisions of the Voluntary Treatment Option, and the participating Board shall be notified and cause to be activated an immediate investigation and disciplinary proceedings as appropriate.

10.12 Any regulated professional who complies with all of the terms and completes the Voluntary Treatment Option shall have his/her confidentiality protected unless otherwise specified in a participating Board's rules and regulations.
