Bill > SB3604

This bill amends the Cemetery Oversight Act to change how the Cemetery Relief Fund operates, which is a special fund in the state treasury used to help maintain cemeteries. Previously, the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (often referred to as the Department or IDFPR) administered grants from this fund. Now, the State Comptroller will manage the fund and provide reimbursements, which are payments to cover costs, instead of grants. These reimbursements will go to local governments, cemeteries registered with the State Comptroller, and not-for-profit organizations to help clean up cemeteries that are abandoned, neglected, at risk of financial failure or abandonment, or otherwise need care. Additionally, if there's extra money in the Cemetery Oversight Licensing and Disciplinary Fund, the Department can transfer it to the Cemetery Relief Fund for these reimbursements.
