Minnesota HF2769 establishes green burial requirements and modifies proceeds for permanent care funds.

Minnesota HF2769 amends state statutes to establish requirements for green burials, which emphasize environmental sustainability without interfering with natural decomposition. The bill mandates that green burial plots be set back 50 feet from property lines and maintain a clearance above the ordinary high-water level. It also requires that green burial plots be a certain distance from water sources and not be in flood-prone areas.
