An Act authorizing the Board of Selectmen of the town of Rockland to serve as cemetery commissioners for the town of Rockland
This bill authorizes the Board of Selectmen in the town of Rockland to officially serve as the cemetery commissioners for the municipality. It grants the board the authority to manage, maintain, and improve all public burial grounds, including the power to divide land into lots, plant trees, and erect necessary structures. The legislation also allows the board to create and enforce regulations for these cemeteries, provided they receive approval from the town. By consolidating these responsibilities, the bill streamlines local governance over public burial sites within Rockland.
