SB 1046 Michigan Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Cemeteries and funerals: other; pet cemetery regulation act; create. Creates new act.

This bill establishes the Pet Cemetery Regulation Act to create a legal framework for operating pet cemeteries and crematoriums in Michigan. It requires operators to file land dedications that permanently restrict property use for pet burial or entombment and mandates the creation of an endowed care fund, which must be funded by at least 15% of individual burial fees to ensure long-term site maintenance. The legislation also defines specific terms for various burial methods and sets a minimum size requirement of three acres for new pet cemeteries, while outlining procedures for reclaiming land if owners fail to pay required fees.
