Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

Section 5. The Cemetery Oversight Act is amended by
changing Section 20-8 as follows:
(225 ILCS 411/20-8)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2021)
Sec. 20-8. Vehicle traffic control. A cemetery authority
shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that funeral
processions entering and exiting the cemetery grounds do not
obstruct traffic on any street for a period in excess of 10
minutes, except where such funeral procession is continuously
moving or cannot be moved by reason of circumstances over which
the cemetery authority has no reasonable control. The cemetery
authority shall use its reasonable best efforts to help prevent
multiple funeral processions from arriving at the cemetery
simultaneously. No cemetery controlled by a for-profit
cemetery authority shall be permitted to conduct more than 10
funerals in a day if the cemetery has only one entry.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Act to the contrary, a
cemetery authority that violates the provisions of this Section
shall be guilty of a business offense and punishable by a fine
of not more than $500 for each offense.
