Sponsor's memo

BILL NUMBER:S2583

Title of bill

An act to amend the not-for-profit corporation law, in relation to the regulation of cemetery corporations

Purpose

This bill would clarify that state regulated cemetery operations are under the sole jurisdiction of the state cemetery board which is composed of the Secretary of State, Attorney General and Commissioner of Health or their designees.

Summary of provisions

This bill amends Section 1501 of the Not-for-Profit Corporation Law to clarify that cemetery corporations are under sole jurisdiction of the State Cemetery Board.

Existing law

While Section 1501 of the Not-for-Profit Corporation Law and recent court cases have affirmed the authority and police powers of the state in regulating cemeteries there is currently no defined and clear authority to provide sole jurisdiction of such regulation to the state cemetery board.

Justification

There have been unnecessary conflicts relating to the regulation of cemetery corporations in New York while the Legislature has enacted numerous statutes granting wide authority to the state in these matters. This legislation would clarify that the jurisdiction of the regulation of cemetery corporations is currently the purview of the Division of Cemeteries and the State Cemetery Board which is composed of the Secretary of State, Attorney General and Commissioner of Health or their designees.
