How many days does the board have to grant or deny any application?

The board has 30 days to grant or deny any application. This timeline is established to ensure that applicants are provided with a clear and reasonable expectation of when they will receive a decision on their application. The 30-day period allows the board sufficient time to review the application thoroughly while also prioritizing timely responses to those seeking licensure or other approvals in the funeral industry. Understanding this timeframe is crucial for both applicants and professionals in the field, as it impacts planning and operations related to licensure and compliance with state regulations.
