LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 3254, as introduced, Committee on Business and Professions.
Endowment care cemeteries: reporting.
Existing law, the Cemetery and Funeral Act, establishes the Cemetery and Funeral Bureau within the Department of Consumer Affairs and sets forth its powers and duties relating to the licensure and regulation of cemeteries, crematories, funeral establishments, and their personnel. Existing law authorizes a cemetery authority that maintains a cemetery to place its cemetery under endowment care and establish, maintain, and operate an endowment care fund. Existing law requires the bureau to conduct a study to obtain information to determine if the endowment care fund levels of each licensee’s cemetery are sufficient to cover the cost of future maintenance, as provided, and to report its findings and recommendations to the appropriate policy committees of the Legislature by January 1, 2029.
This bill would repeal the provisions relating to the
above-described study on January 1, 2033, and would require the bureau to submit the report pursuant to a specified law.
