STATE OF NEW JERSEY

 

DATED: MARCH 4, 1996

 

      The Assembly Financial Institutions Committee reports favorably and with committee amendments, Assembly Bill No. 134.

      As amended, this bill requires each cemetery company that is not a municipality licensed pursuant to the "New Jersey Cemetery Act," N.J.S.8A:1-1 et seq., to provide in its annual report to the New Jersey Cemetery Board information concerning the total acreage available, the total number of interment spaces, by type, in its cemetery and the number of interment spaces, by type, in its cemetery which were conveyed during the preceeding year. This information, from year to year, will enable the cemetery board to determine the extent to which expansion is taking place, if any, in each cemetery and the extent to which any cemetery is approaching capacity.

      This bill was pre-filed for introduction in the 1996 session pending technical review. As reported, the bill includes the changes required by technical review which has been performed.
