INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Jeffries

                        FEBRUARY 17, 2010

   An act to add Section 9063.5 to the Health and Safety Code,
relating to public cemeteries.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1969, as amended, Jeffries. Elsinore Valley  Cemetary.
  Cemetery. 
   Existing law, the Public  Cemetary   Cemetery
 District Law, specifies the procedures for the formation of
public  cemetary   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  cemetary  cemetery 
district cemeteries to residents of the district and nonresidents who
meet specified criteria.
   This bill would allow the Elsinore Valley  Cemetary
  Cemetery  District to inter, in a specified
section of the  cemetary  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 
Cemetary   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 9063.5 is added to the Health and Safety Code,
to read:
   9063.5.  Notwithstanding Section 9060, the  Elsinor
  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  cemetary  
cemetery  plots.
