Human remains: disposition.

Existing law authorizes human remains to be transported from California to an adjacent state for disposition in that state without a death certificate or permit for disposition in specified circumstances if the remains are found within 50 miles of the California border and the nearest licensed funeral establishment is within 20 miles of the border in the adjacent state, and the remains are released to that funeral establishment. This bill would authorize human remains to be transported from California to an adjacent state for disposition in that state without a death certificate or a permit for disposition if the remains are found within 50 miles of the California border and a licensed funeral establishment in the adjacent state is within 30 miles of the county border in which the decedent died, and the remains are released to that funeral establishment.
