Imposes locational restriction on construction of a new crematory.

S 4008 prohibits new crematories from being built within 1,000 feet of schools, residential zones, or public recreational areas in New Jersey. Specifically, it bans approval of new crematory construction if the site borders within 1,000 feet of any public or private school, exclusively residential zoning, or parks, playgrounds, beaches, or similar open spaces. The bill amends existing cemetery law (P.L.2011, c.230) and takes effect immediately. This directly affects developers seeking to build new crematories by restricting potential locations near sensitive community areas.
