Modifies provisions relating to the disposition of human remains
HB 2093 revises Missouri's legal definitions related to human remains disposal by adding new terms for modern methods. It defines "alkaline hydrolysis" (a water-based decomposition process) and "natural organic reduction" (composting human remains) as authorized disposal options. The bill replaces outdated statutes with these new definitions to clarify the legal framework for these methods. It directly affects funeral providers, mortuaries, and individuals choosing alternative disposition methods, without changing who can make disposition decisions or adding new requirements. The change primarily provides legal clarity for newer disposal practices already in use.
