CT HB05211

Cemetery associations organized under sections 33-1025 to 33-1047 must hold annual meetings where the board accepts a financial statement accounting for income, expenses, and assets for the preceding fiscal year.

Annual meeting minutes containing the financial statement must be retained by the board for at least 20 years after the meeting date.

Officers, directors, or trustees of a cemetery association are prohibited from simultaneously serving in those positions for any company that manages or operates any aspect of the cemetery.

Any interested party may petition the Probate Court for the district where the cemetery is located to require disclosure of annual meeting minutes and financial statements if they have sufficient interest in the minutes and the petition is not for harassment purposes.

Cemetery associations that receive or expend any public funds are deemed public agencies subject to the Freedom of Information Act, effective July 1, 2022.
