❌ SB286
Require cemeteries to relocate remains if gravestone relocated
Current Status: In Senate Committee (Local Government)
Summary
The bill requires cemetery operators to relocate human remains if the gravestone marking the remains is relocated. It outlines the conditions under which disinterment can occur, including the need for applications and permissions from designated representatives or probate courts. The bill also specifies procedures for notifying interested parties and the conditions under which disinterment can be performed.
Rationale
The bill imposes government regulations on cemetery operations and the handling of human remains, which conflicts with Libertarian principles of minimal government intervention and individual property rights. It mandates actions that could infringe on personal liberties regarding the treatment of remains.
Risks and Concerns
- Increases government control over personal and property rights
- Potential for bureaucratic delays in disinterment processes
- May lead to disputes among family members regarding remains
