| From: | Representative Curtis G. Sonney |
| To: | All House members |
| Subject: | Abolish Funeral Directors Remarriage Penalty |
In the near future I will be introducing legislation to amend the Funeral Director’s Law (Act 522 of 1951) regarding widow’s licenses. Section 8(a) of the current law allows the widow or widower of a deceased funeral director to be issued a special license in order to continue an existing funeral practice, provided they employ a licensed funeral director to supervise the practice. The law authorizes this special license only as long as the widow or widower remains unmarried. When the widow or widower remarries they are prohibited from renewing their license, and would be required to sell their interest in the business. My legislation simply removes the prohibition on remarrying. Former (HB 348). Previous Co-sponsors include: BARRAR , FABRIZIO , FLECK , GEIST , HENNESSEY , HESS , KNOWLES, MILLER , OBERLANDER, O'NEILL , PICKETT , PYLE, QUINN and VULAKOVICH. If you have questions regarding this legislation, please contact Christine Crone in my Harrisburg office at; ccrone@pahousegop.com. Thank you for your consideration and support. CS/cmc |
