consideration and support of this bill being sponsored by Rep. Denise Baum from Billings. We have previously discussed the need to add statutory language recognizing these new forms and the process by which licensing and endorsement take place but have committed to our members our belief that this should be primarily brought by the Board of Funeral Service for the 2027 legislative session. There is a great deal of language and process that will take time to parse through, and we feel that supporting a bill now without sufficient time to discuss the topics in depth will not serve the law or the membership. Although some of these dates and events may have passed, it’s important to show the efforts the association puts on to assist our membership in terms of continuing education, advocacy and networking. Lastly, we hope you make it to Billings for this summer’s 2025 MFDA Convention at Northern Hotel, held from June 22-24. During the convention, we will also be holding the MFDA Board Meeting at 9 a.m. on June 23. We want You are the reason we exist and succeed.
