Business Regulation - Abandoned Cemeteries - Acquisition and Disposition

Summary

The bill permits a governmental unit to take property that contains an abandoned cemetery through condemnation and then requires the unit to locate and contact the deceased’s descendants or a related community or nonprofit organization. Those parties may petition a court to have the land transferred to them, and the government must maintain the cemetery until the transfer or arrange reinterment if a transfer cannot be made.
