AN ACT CONCERNING THE MANAGEMENT, CARE AND ADMINISTRATION OF CEMETERIES BY THE STATE ON BEHALF OF CEMETERY ASSOCIATIONS PURSUING DISSOLUTION.

HB 5709 allows the state to temporarily manage and care for cemeteries when a cemetery association seeking dissolution cannot find a successor or purchaser to take over operations. It directly affects cemetery associations pursuing dissolution that face challenges in transferring management. The key provision requires the state to step in upon request, providing temporary oversight until a new operator is secured. This ensures cemeteries remain properly maintained during the transition period without permanent state ownership.
