Summary

The Joint Sunset Committee recommended in 2014 that the Board of Funeral Services and the Division of Professional Regulation review Chapter 31, Title 24 of the Delaware Code and submit proposed legislation to bring the law up to date with current funeral services standards and practices. As a result, the General Assembly passed and the Governor signed Senate Bill No. 65 in 2015. One of the provisions Senate Bill No. 65 added to the Delaware Code was 3106(e), which prohibited the collection or dissemination of “pricing materials from different funeral establishments or entities with the intent of steering potential clients based solely on the information collected” and deemed such collection or dissemination “the practice of funeral services.” This Act removes this provision, as it is unconstitutionally broad.
