How long does the Department have to issue an establishment license once the application is submitted?

The correct timeframe for the Nebraska Department to issue an establishment license is 150 days after the application has been submitted. This duration allows the Department to thoroughly assess the application, conduct any necessary inspections, and ensure compliance with all state regulations governing funeral establishments. This extended timeframe recognizes the complexity of evaluating each application, particularly in ensuring that all aspects, from facilities to practices, meet the required legal standards.

Shorter durations, such as 30, 60, or 90 days may not adequately account for the comprehensive review process and the potential need for additional information or steps that may arise during the licensing evaluation. Hence, the established period of 150 days is necessary to ensure that all due diligence is performed before granting a license.
