AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE USE OF TERRAMATION.
HB 5387 authorizes terramation, a natural decomposition process that converts human remains into soil, as a legal end-of-life option. It directly affects state residents by providing an environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional cremation or burial. The bill amends general statutes to permit this method, making it a regulated funeral practice under state law. The stated purpose is to expand eco-friendly choices for final arrangements without specifying implementation details.
