SB54 requires perpetual care cemeteries to use their "care and maintenance" funds only for the actual upkeep and maintenance of cemetery grounds, rather than allowing those funds to be used for other purposes. The bill tightens restrictions on how cemeteries can spend money that families have paid into perpetual care accounts, ensuring the funds go directly toward keeping the cemetery in good condition.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
