HB 1256 (2022)

Renames the position of Cemetery Superintendent to Cemetery Director and establishes duties and salary classifications for that office. The bill also renames the position of Administrator of the Division of Community Based Military Programs to Director of the Division of Community Based Military Programs (DCBMP) and establishes the salary classification for that office. According to The Department of Military Affairs and Veterans Services, this bill will allow work hour flexibility for the Cemetery Superintendent and DCBMP administrator. Currently they work a fixed schedule and their duties often require them to work extra hours or off schedule days.

The Senate amended the bill to add two other parts. First, the bill sends $1 million to the state regenerative manufacturing workforce development fund. Second, the bill increases the Medicaid reimbursement rates for ambulance services.
