INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Yamada

                        FEBRUARY 18, 2011

   An act to add Section 9063.7 to the Health and Safety Code,
relating to cemetery districts.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 966, as amended, Yamada. Public cemetery districts: nonresident
burial.
   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. That law limits interments in public cemetery
district cemeteries to residents of the district and nonresidents who
meet specified criteria.
   This bill would allow the Davis Cemetery District to inter, in a
specified section of the cemetery, nonresidents if specified
conditions are met.
   This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to
the necessity of a special statute for Davis Cemetery District.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 9063.7 is added to the Health and Safety Code,
to read:
   9063.7.  Notwithstanding Section 9060, the Davis Cemetery District
may use its cemetery at 820 Pole Line Road, Davis, for up to a total
of 500 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. 3.   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 the Davis Cemetery District and
the availability of cemetery plots.
