What SB 777 does, verified December 8, 2025
A new law would require the state to convene a workgroup to discuss options for abandoned cemeteries. The workgroup must consist of representatives from the cemetery, county government, and other stakeholders. The focus will be on requiring counties to assume responsibility for maintenance, irrigation, public works, and burial services for these cemeteries. The state will need to submit a report to the legislature summarizing the workgroup's discussions and recommendations by June 1, 2026. This new law will replace existing provisions that were set to expire on January 1, 2027.
