Human Remains.
Summary
Existing law, the Cemetery Act, provides for the licensure and regulation of cemeteries, crematories, and their personnel by the Cemetery and Funeral Bureau within the Department of Consumer Affairs. Existing law establishes certified uniform program agencies, which are agencies certified by the Secretary for Environmental Protection to implement a specified unified program relating to hazardous waste and materials in accordance with certain requirements. This bill would, until January 1, 2020, establish a pilot program that would authorize the bureau to issue a limited crematory license to no more than 5 hydrolysis facilities, subject to specified requirements.
