Bill > HB1481

This bill mandates that any funeral establishment, mortuary, cemetery, crematory, or hydrolysis facility must complete the disposition of a dead human body within sixty days from the issuance of a burial transit permit, which is a document required to move a body for burial or other final disposition, or from the date an affidavit to amend such a permit is submitted. The bill also clarifies that the Department of Health, which oversees vital records and public health, is not required to specify the exact disposition date on the permit itself and may create necessary rules to implement these provisions, with the changes set to take effect on July 1, 3000.
