MO HB2523

Contractual obligations under preneed funeral contracts remain enforceable even if a provider or seller's license lapses, is revoked, or suspended, as long as the original contract was entered into while licenses were valid

Providers must still hold a valid funeral establishment license at the time of actually delivering funeral services and merchandise

Preneed contracts entered into while a seller's license was suspended due to failure to file annual reports are void and must be rewritten after reinstatement or fully refunded to the purchaser

Annual reports from preneed sellers are due by October 31st each year, with automatic license suspension for failure to file until the report is submitted and fees paid

Corrects a typographical error in existing law changing "[is]" to "its" regarding sellers' statutory and contractual duties
