California SB1312 regulates the transfer of abandoned endowment care cemeteries to counties and nonprofit corporations.

California SB1312 amends the Business and Professions Code and Health and Safety Code to address the management of abandoned endowment care cemeteries. It allows cities, counties, or city and county entities to transfer the care and management of such cemeteries to nonprofit public benefit corporations. These corporations must oversee burials and maintain the cemetery without entering into new sales contracts. The bill also outlines the process for declaring a cemetery abandoned, including a 90-day notice period for the property owner to address public health and safety concerns.
