❌ HB582
Regards embalmers, funeral directors, and crematories
Summary
Bill HB582 amends sections related to embalmers, funeral directors, and crematories in Ohio, defining terms such as 'embalming', 'funeral business', and 'cremation'. It outlines the requirements for cremation authorization forms and specifies exemptions for certain individuals and circumstances. The bill also addresses liability issues for crematory operators and funeral homes.
Rationale
The bill introduces regulatory definitions and requirements for funeral services, which may conflict with the Libertarian principles of minimal government intervention and individual rights over personal decisions regarding death and burial. Both LP and LPO platforms emphasize personal liberty and minimal government interference, suggesting that the bill's regulatory nature does not align well with their principles.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government regulation of personal choices regarding death and burial.
- Potential infringement on individual rights to manage personal affairs without government oversight.
