RELATING TO HUMAN REMAINS.

HB 747 allows natural organic reduction (a process that turns human remains into nutrient-rich soil using natural methods) as a legal disposal option for bodies. This bill directly affects individuals and families seeking alternatives to traditional burial or cremation. The key provision establishes a regulatory framework for facilities offering this method, ensuring safety and environmental standards. The bill is currently pending in the legislature, having been introduced in January 2025 and carried over to the next session.
