AI Summary

  • Amends the public cemetery law to modify the notice requirements when cemetery boards seek to terminate and forfeit burial space rights for non-maintenance.

  • Changes notice of hearing requirements based on timing: hearings held before January 1, 2022 must use traditional newspaper publication (once weekly for 3 weeks, 30+ days before hearing); hearings after December 31, 2021 may use the Local Government Public Notice Act (14-30 days before hearing).

  • Replaces "shall" with "must" throughout the statute and removes references to "and neglects" language for consistency with modern drafting standards.
