Bill A 3940 modernizes New Jersey's mortuary science regulations by establishing updated oversight standards for mortuary and embalming practices. The bill was passed with overwhelming bipartisan support and became law in May 2025. It represents a regulatory update to professional licensing and operational standards in the funeral industry.
