When must the bureau be notified about a change in designated managers after a funeral establishment hires a new licensed funeral director to manage the establishment?

• A. Within 30 days after the effective date
• B. Within 10 days prior to the effective date
• C. Within 10 days after the effective date
• D. Within 30 days prior to the effective date

Answer: (C)

When a funeral establishment appoints a new licensed funeral director to serve as designated manager, the licensing bureau must be informed promptly so the records reflect who is supervising the business. The change becomes effective on the new manager’s start date, and the bureau requires notification within 10 days after that date to confirm the new manager’s license status and authority to manage under the act. This timely notice helps ensure continuous regulatory oversight and that the establishment remains under proper licensed supervision. Notifying before the change or after a longer window would fail to align with the actual status of management and could leave a gap in oversight, which is why the correct timeframe is within 10 days after the effective date.
