Current Bill Summary

SB 551 - This act defines human and pet cemeteries as cemeteries for purposes of licensing and endowed care under state law. A "human and pet cemetery" is defined in the act as a tract of real estate separate from a cemetery in which both human remains and animal remains may be interred and memorialized at the discretion of the lot holder.

This act is identical to HB 2672 (2024), substantially similar to SB 486 (2023) and HB 2696 (2022), and similar to HB 929 (2023).
