SB 3268

Abstract

Amends the Cemetery Oversight Act. In a provision concerning qualifications for licensure, provides that an applicant for licensure as a customer service employee must not have committed a violation of the Act or any rule adopted under the Act that renders the applicant unqualified for licensure (now, provision only applies to licensure as a cemetery manager). In a provision concerning the bond requirement, provides that if any paid officer of a cemetery association fails to maintain the bond or letter of credit, then all of the members of the board of trustees shall remain jointly and severally liable for damages and the paid officer who failed to maintain the bond or letter of credit shall be criminally liable. Amends the Crematory Regulation Act. In a provision concerning grounds for denial or discipline, replaces reference to "Comptroller" with "Department". Provides that after initial licensure, if any person comes to obtain at least 51% (now, 25%) of the ownership over the licensed crematory authority, then the crematory authority shall have to apply for a new license. Amends the Cemetery Protection Act. Defines "cemetery authority". Contains a nonacceleration clause.
