Bill Summary

Relative to funeral homes and charitable foundations. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill prohibits licensed funeral establishments from operating organizations that are exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The goal is to prevent potential conflicts of interest and undue influence that could arise when a funeral home also operates a charitable foundation. This change is being made to Chapter 68 of the Massachusetts General Laws, which covers charitable organizations and fundraising.
