A bill for an act relating to the natural reduction of human remains, making penalties applicable, and including effective date provisions.

HF 2432 regulates "natural reduction" services, which convert human remains to soil through contained, accelerated decomposition. The bill requires funeral directors (not others) to provide these services in licensed "natural reduction establishments" and mandates a 500-foot setback from drinking water sources. It establishes licensing rules for these facilities, requires cemeteries to follow specific interment rules for naturally reduced remains, and imposes civil penalties for violations. The law takes effect July 1, 2027, with rulemaking allowed prior to that date.
