Authorizing the terramation of dead human bodies in the state of Kansas and requiring all terramations to be performed by licensed terramatory operators.

Summary

The bill creates a new disposition method called terramation, which converts unembalmed bodies into soil, and establishes a licensing system for terramation facilities and the operators who run them. It mandates a coroner’s permit and an authorization form, bans bodies with hazardous implants unless those implants are removed, and requires that the resulting soil be identified, packed, and handled according to strict standards. The state board of mortuary arts would enforce the rules and impose fines or license actions for violations, but the measure never left committee.
