A 3689 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Clarifies the regulation of cemetery corporations

This bill clarifies that the state Cemetery Board has exclusive authority over the regulation of cemetery operations within the state. It achieves this by amending existing not-for-profit corporation laws to explicitly state that the state holds sole jurisdiction over cemeteries, removing any ambiguity about regulatory oversight. The legislation aims to ensure that burial grounds are properly maintained and operated on a non-profit basis for the benefit of plot owners. The changes take effect immediately upon enactment.
