What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, mausoleums are regulated by the Department of Safety and

Professional Services. A mausoleum that is intended to be used for the burial of more

than ten human remains or for which at least one mausoleum space or niche is

offered for sale must generally be located in a cemetery. Under current law, burial

of human remains for purposes of the rules applicable to mausoleums includes the

inurnment of cremated human remains.

This bill exempts columbaria from the requirements applicable to mausoleums.

Under the bill, a columbarium is a building or structure, or part of a building or

structure, that is used or intended to be used for the inurnment of cremated human

remains and not for the entombment or interment of human remains.
