The "Funeral Arranger and Registered Transporter" bills STILL EXIST. So far, NYSFDA and NSFDA have not taken official positions regarding these proposed changes. Consider this a call to action to speak up with your honest opinions (and alternative recommendations if applicable). NYSFDA and NSFDA have both sent out surveys to membership, and every single NY licensed professional should fill them out.

Check your emails in past 2 weeks, get in touch with a colleague who can forward you the link(s), and participate.

Dear NSFDA Members,
Bill #10095, known as the proposed Licensed Funeral Arranger Act, was introduced in the New York State Legislature and brought forward for consideration on January 30, 2026. The bill is sponsored by Senator Paullin. On February 3rd, it has been referred to the Health Committee Senate for consideration.

Full Bill can be found here: https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2025/S9112

We need your feedback! NSFDA at this time does not have an official position regarding the support or opposition of this proposed legislation. Our President sent out an email with more details regarding the bill, any important contact information, and a survey where you can let us know your opinions. NOW is the time to speak up.

Quick reminder for all of our hard working and busy professionals. Zogby Strategies previously sent out a survey to members of the New York State Funeral Directors Association asking for input about what we do and the difficulties we may be facing. If you haven't seen it yet, check your spam box, scroll down for January 14th or January 10th, and make the time to fill it out if you can.

Word has it, the results will have a direct implication on potential legislative changes that at the end of the day, affect all of us. Survey period ends tomorrow, January 23rd, so time is running out to have your professional opinions heard.
