Summary

The law shifts oversight of several professions—from cemetery operators to auctioneers, geologists and hearing‑aid dealers—from their separate boards to the Secretary of State. It dissolves the existing boards, creates a five‑member Cemeterians Advisory Group, and gives the Secretary of State authority to issue licenses, set rules and enforce penalties. The change is intended to centralize regulation and simplify administration.
