Sirs:

 

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 214, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DISINTERMENT OF HUMAN BODIES,"

 

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

 

     The purpose of this measure is to allow a cemetery authority to disinter and reinter human remains within the same cemetery without filing an application for a permit with the Department of Health, provided the cemetery authority has written authorization from the majority of the next-of-kin of the person whose remains are being disinterred and reinterred.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 214, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 214, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

 

ON THE PART OF THE SENATE

 

ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE
