Bill > HB05709

This bill proposes to modify Connecticut's laws regarding cemetery management by allowing the state to temporarily take over the management, care, and administration of a cemetery when a cemetery association is seeking dissolution but cannot find a successor or purchaser to continue operations. Specifically, the bill would amend Chapter 368j of the state's general statutes to provide a mechanism for state intervention in such situations. The purpose is to ensure the continued maintenance and preservation of cemeteries during transitional periods when a cemetery association is unable to transfer its responsibilities to another organization or buyer. This approach aims to prevent potential abandonment or neglect of cemetery grounds by providing a temporary state-managed solution until a permanent successor can be found. The bill represents a proactive measure to protect historical burial sites and maintain their dignity and upkeep during challenging organizational transitions.
