What’s in it

Under current law, a pioneer cemetery is a cemetery where there have been or fewer burials in the preceding years. A county board of supervisors has the authority to create, by ordinance, a cemetery commission that shall assume jurisdiction and control of the pioneer cemeteries in the county. This bill allows a cemetery commission to retain jurisdiction and control of a cemetery that was a pioneer cemetery upon or after creation of the cemetery commission, but is no longer considered a pioneer cemetery due to recent burials.

Changed since by amendments H-1067, H-1058; see Amendments.
