CITATION TRAP: the correct mortuary CE rule is N.J.A.C. 13:36-10.3 (10 hrs/biennium) — NOT 13:37A-4.1, which is MASSAGE & BODYWORK therapy. Also required: OSHA laws/regs course (max 3 hrs); max 3 hrs funeral merchandising; NO carryover. NJ A3940 (2024–25) proposes splitting licensure into two tiers; enactment unconfirmed as of 2026-10-03.
