BILL NUMBER:S7105
Title of bill
An act to amend the not-for-profit corporation law, in relation to allowing cemeteries in Nassau county to acquire and utilize certain lands for cemetery purposes
Purpose
This bill will allow cemeteries in Nassau County to acquire and utilize certain lands for cemetery purposes.
Summary of provisions
Subparagraph 2 of paragraph (e) of section 1506 of the not-for-profit corporation law, as added by chapter 871 of the laws of 1977 is amended to allow cemeteries in Nassau County to acquire and utilize certain lands for cemetery purposes provided that the use of such lands is consented to by the Nassau County Legislature.
Justification
The Locust Valley Cemetery Association is a not-for-profit cemetery corporation that maintains and operates a non-sectarian cemetery of approximately 31 acres in the Village of Lattingtown.
Currently the Association only has roughly 3/5 acres of undeveloped land. At the current rate of grave sales, it is expected that the cemetery will be fully developed with no graves to sell by 2026. It is critical that when the cemetery is completely developed and all grave sites are sold that the Association have an endowment of sufficient size to pay for upkeep and maintenance of the property.
In 2012, the Association entered into a contract to purchase an adjacent 2 acre parcel. After receiving the required approvals by the Village and County Legislature, the association was advised by the Division of Cemeteries that Section 1506 (e) of the Not-For-Profit Corporation Law prohibits cemeteries in Nassau County from acquiring additional land for cemetery purposes.
The Division of Cemeteries granted approval to the association for the purchase, provided that the property must be held unused until the law is changed to permit Nassau County Cemeteries to acquire land for cemetery purposes. This legislation accomplishes that goal.
