Bill > A09839

This bill provides for the creation, operation, and duties of natural organic reduction facilities as cemetery corporations for the contained, accelerated conversion of human remains to soil. The bill amends the Not-for-Profit Corporation Law to define key terms like "natural organic reduction" and "natural organic reduction facility," and to establish requirements for the approval and operation of such facilities, including maintenance, privacy, identification of remains, and disposition of the final product. The bill also requires certification for employees conducting the natural organic reduction process. Overall, the bill aims to establish a new method for the disposition of human remains in New York.
