Establishes the Cemetery Vandalism Response Fund to provide grants for repairing vandalized cemeteries in Vermont.
This bill creates the Cemetery Vandalism Response Fund to assist in repairing Vermont cemeteries damaged by vandalism. The Vermont Old Cemetery Association (VOCA) administers the fund and provides grants to agencies for repairs. Agencies must report acts of vandalism to VOCA within 30 days and notify affected lot owners or next of kin. Grant applications must include details of the damage, attempts to obtain funding from the deceased's family, and bids for repair costs. VOCA reviews applications and disburses funds directly to the appropriate cemetery commissioner or officer.
