AI Summary
This bill amends the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to update the definition of "cremation" in the rules of construction. The new definition clarifies that cremation includes the use of mechanical, thermal, or other dissolution processes, including alkaline hydrolysis, to reduce human remains to bone fragments, and the subsequent processing and pulverization of those fragments, which are then placed in a cremated remains container. The bill will take effect 60 days after enactment.
