	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1969, Jeffries. Elsinore Valley Cemetery.
   Existing law, the Public Cemetery District Law, specifies the
procedures for the formation of public cemetery districts, procedures
for the selection of the district board of trustees and officers,
and the powers and duties of the board. Existing law limits
interments in public cemetery district cemeteries to residents of the
district and nonresidents who meet specified criteria.
   This bill would allow the Elsinore Valley Cemetery District to
inter, in a specified section of the cemetery, nonresidents who meet
a more limited set of criteria.
   This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to
the necessity of a special statute for the Elsinore Valley Cemetery
District.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 9063.5 is added to the Health and Safety Code,
to read:
   9063.5.  Notwithstanding Section 9060, the Elsinore Valley
Cemetery District may use the portion of its cemetery formerly known
as Home of Peace for up to a total of 536 interments, for interment
in the ground of any person who meets the criteria for burial in that
area but is not a resident of the district if all of the following
apply:
   (a) The board of trustees determines that the cemetery has
adequate space for the foreseeable future.
   (b) The district has an endowment care fund that requires at least
the minimum payment set pursuant to Section 9065.
   (c) The district requires the payment of a nonresident fee set
pursuant to Section 9068.
  SEC. 2.  The Legislature finds and declares that a special law is
necessary and that a general law cannot be made applicable within the
meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution
because of the unique disparity between the population of Elsinore
Valley and the availability of cemetery plots.
