Where are the funds collected from administrative penalties deposited?

The funds collected from administrative penalties related to the funeral service industry in Oklahoma are deposited with the State Treasurer into the "Fund of Oklahoma Funeral Board." This fund is designated specifically for supporting the activities and operations of the Oklahoma Funeral Board, including enforcement of regulations, oversight of licensing, and other activities that ensure compliance with state laws governing the funeral service profession.

This helps maintain a structured approach to managing the penalties and ensures that they contribute directly to the governance and oversight of the industry. The creation of a distinct fund also allows for better tracking and allocation of resources specifically for issues related to the funeral profession, rather than mixing these funds with the broader state general fund or other unrelated accounts.
