Relating to establishing the Historic Texas Cemeteries Designation Program; authorizing a fee.

SB 586 creates a program to recognize historic Texas cemeteries that are at least 50 years old (or exceptionally significant). It requires cemetery owners or applicants to submit applications proving the cemetery's existence, then notifies adjacent landowners and county historical commissions. If approved, the cemetery receives a declaration to file with the county clerk and may display an Official Texas Historical Marker, for which a fee is authorized. The program aims to alert the public and nearby landowners about historic cemeteries' existence without imposing new regulations on property use.
