What’s in it

This bill relates to the authority of a county cemetery commission. 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 or a county cemetery commission may assume jurisdiction and control of a pioneer cemetery, a cemetery that previously qualified as a pioneer cemetery, or a cemetery that had between and burials in the previous years. _____ a portion of the cemetery as a pioneer section if at least percent of the burials in that portion occurred at least 100 years prior to the designation.

Read the full explanation

Upon approval by the cemetery, the county board of supervisors, and the county cemetery commission, the bill authorizes the county cemetery commission to use its resources to restore and maintain the pioneer section of the cemetery as though the section was a pioneer cemetery. However, a cemetery with a designated pioneer section and the pioneer section itself shall not be considered a pioneer cemetery.
