Bill > H0773

This bill proposes to allow for the permanent disposition of human remains by natural organic reduction. It would give operators of natural organic reduction facilities the same rights and responsibilities as the operators of crematory establishments. The bill defines "natural organic reduction" and "natural organic reduction facility", and amends various sections of Vermont law to incorporate natural organic reduction as a method of permanent disposition alongside burial, cremation, and other existing methods. The bill also adjusts the regulatory framework and fee structure for natural organic reduction facilities and their personnel, similar to the existing requirements for crematory establishments.
